Default 2018 A5 Sportback: new owner, new member

I just joined the community as I'll likely need advice from time to time. The vehicle was purchased from an east coast dealer (long story) but I live in Colorado. We'll see how that goes. Hopefully no issues with service and followthrough.

After picking up the A5 I drove down to South Carolina, west to Nashville; up to Kansas City then home. What a ride. That is, after the first couple of day's jitters getting used to the car on strange roads. And, jeez, there are whole hell a lot of big rigs out there along I-81 and I-40. I guess I'm used to them being more spaced out in the west and with minimum of three lanes per direction of travel.

I'm very happy to be home and actually looking forward to the first snow so we can get out and see how 'Audrey' handles.

I'm looking at the a5 sportback as well - what package did you get - I want the smoother ride but I like the s-line look so cannot decide - thoughts

For me it was about the roads I drive on in Colorado. I opted for the Prestige, non-S-line. I like the S-line as well but paying for that, then paying for suspension damping to "un-do" the sportier suspension seemed a bit oxymoronic.
