Default I GOT IT!!!

Well, after researching what I wanted, there is only one. I want performance, but not a sports car (rear passengers). I want utility, but not an SUV. I want luxury, but not a sedan. And all-wheel-drive is definate. What ever should I buy?

I am now the proud owner of an allroad with xenons, bose premium sound, heated seats / steering wheel, tip, ...wrapped in atlas gray (it is the fastest, right!?

BTW...I saw another allroad today, silver (no double-spoke) on 85 South in Atlanta while I was on my way to Piedmont Park for the Dogwood Festival this weekend (Sunday 13th). Are you on this forum?

Glad to be part of the allroad crowd. Now I need to get a bike rack for my mountain bike, some rubber mats and I'll be set.

All smiles,
Arondale

Yeah, but you don't even have the 2.7t engine... :-) That's really base model. :-P

Default 2 annoying things about the ar

2 things I noticed that were weird after spending some time in my new car are:

1) At low speeds with the sunroof fully open the air cavitates or something... causing the air to whipple unpleasant pressure against my eardrums. You can fix this by closing the sunroof slightly at low speeds.

2) The rear passenger center seatbelt flaps against the seat at high speeds with all the windows down. I solved this by putting the belt between the passenger rear seat and center armrest (wedged).

Aside from that and the occasional turbo lag, I think this is going to be a great car.

Default Didn't you also pay extra for the 628 (servo) relay that many here are discarding? ....

Heated seats and steering wheel are wonderful. Rear (or did I mean "rare" - probably both)seat passengers marvel at the rear seat heating too. Do you not have a heated seat in that fancy lookin' Italian red 4wd vehicle you showed us a while back?

Default Its not 'turbo lag'...do a search and you will see, also

the sunroof thing is VERY typical in many cars that I have owned.(especially wagons) It's discussed in your manual.

Seatbelt flap, yep sucks. You've got a good fix.

Great car any day though especially if it is a 6spd. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

The manual explains the sunroof 'comfort setting' -- resolves the pressure fluctuation problem.
