Love my new B7 avant
Just picked up my 07 after turning in my 03. I ended up with a color combo that I hadn't expected, Deep Blue Pearl with Platinum, but I really like it (the only non S-line 6 speed 2.0T Avant available in NE).
Bluetooth is totally slick. The one question I have is about anyone's experiences with the Goodyear Eagle LS2's that came standard and whether they suck as much as the TireRack reviews suggest they do.
Everything seems smoother and quieter. But you all know that already.

They def suck bad. The first 12k I had no major gripes, even drove great in 6" of snow last winter..
But wow have they started to suck. The first year, the car was rock solid in snow, rain, or anything with limited traction. Now after they have about 19k on them, driving in the rain, is scary. Turns I would regularly take at say 70 in the rain, with no issues, not pushing the car, I now have to take them abou 60 with more attention on the road. They hydroplane easier now and its very annoying.
I wish I didnt have them, but what are you going to do, cant afford new ones, and wouldnt anyway, its a 2 year lease.

Bridgestones
The only tires I would try out over the ContiExtremeContacts would be these Bridgestone Potenzas.... they got higher ratings on dry, wet, AND snow/ice than the contiextremes at the Tire Rack.
