new '17 S6
Tomorrow I am picking up my new '17 S6. I am trading a '12 A7 that has been a very car for us. Before the A7, we had S4's and my wife wants to get back into an S. Love the v8 exhaust.
Anything I should watch out for?

Things like engine mounts can be a problem in cars that are a bit older - not sure if the part has been revised over time. If not it'll be something to keep an eye on before the warranty expires.

Just checked and there has been no part supersession (still 4H0199255T (LHS) and 4H0199256T (RHS)) so therefore probably something to watch for pre the expiration of the new vehicle warranty.

I just got home from my drive from Lodi,Ca. to South Lake Tahoe and back via Hwy 88. The turbo V8 is a wonderful engine, especially at higher altitude ( up to 8500 ft. ). I have the radio dialed and love Apple Carplay ( my second car with Carplay ).
The next step in my learning curve is figuring out all the "telematics". I am not sure I am going to like some of them.
As far as just driving the car, I can't say enough about how great this car handles .

I've just got mine delivered last Fri as this is absolutely a beast to drive, especially the exhaust roars even in comfort mode.
Did you get extended warranty? Dealer here in Nor Cal charges for $2000+ for 2 yrs and $4000+ for 4 yrs and I skipped that.. Hopefully it is not a mistake if I keep the car past standard 4 yrs/50K miles warranty.

Anyway, we're extremely pleased with the new S6 which happens to be our sixth Audi.The car reminds me of our '05 S4 sedan but on steroids.

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
