Ejoying my new S6

It was the V8 that swung it. I do relatively little mileage so fuel is not an issue but it just sounds great! Missing a few features I had on the A7, but didn't want to do a factory order as the current build (from the UK anyway) only has a black headliner - something I detest. Fortunately found one Audi UK had pre-registered back in March and only 18 miles on the clock, so effectively brand new but a third off the price

Only annoying thing is the Audi pointless "feature" of increasing the volume from zero (=mute) on start up to 3. On the A7 it was easily fixed via the Green Menu - not so now

As I mentioned before, the car reminds us of our old '05 S4 sedan, a car that we truly miss. The S6 fills the void. Knock on wood, our car has been flawless. I set it in individual mode, exhaust dynamic, everything else auto.
My daily driver is a 17 Cayman S and the s6 is a perfect compliment to the Porsche.

Anything I should watch out for?

About the only thing I would say to watch for would be the police...other than that enjoy the ride!

I live in central California and have no problems with the 20 inch wheels. But , if th car had come with 19s, I probably would have been just as happy.
I have a Porsche Cayman with 20 inch wheels and have no complaints, but the guys that track the Caymans all run 18 and 19 inch wheels. I think 20s are really just for "style".
