Default slomaro's slowagon

Hey all! I just traded in my 2017 G63 and picked up this CPO '22 A6 Allroad. I've put ~600 miles on it right away road tripping and love it. I've always had a soft spot for wagons and I don't need to tow anymore, very happy with the A6 more-so after test driving a 2025 E450 AT, V60 PE and V90 CC.
Out the gate my plans are:
  • Wheels and tires (want to go 19", maybe a cross climate to run year round)
  • Crossbars for a ski roofbox and kayaks
  • Tint
  • Tune as soon as someone figures out the TCU



Including a picture of my actual project car too

Congrats, looks amazing!

Regarding tinting - you may want to discuss the glare on the rear window with your installer. I posted pics somewhere here. As I understand, the darker the tint, the less the glare. I got 55% VLT in the back and the glare is pretty bad. Got used to it since there's not much of a choice, but I really wish it wasn't there.

Just want to make sure I understand what you mean, you're saying I should go with darker tint (less visible light)? The side reflections on the G63 were wild and tint made it worse. My tint guy is moving to a new shop so I should be the first car he does next Thursday.
