Newbie saying Hello

[Merlin123]

Hi All,

Just joined the forum and thought I would introduce myself.

After a couple of BMW M-Sports and a brief(ish) affair with a Merc C class sport I have decided to take the plunge with an Audi for my next car.

I have ordered an A4 2.0 TFSI Quattro Executive S-Line with B&O in Phantom Black. Silver stitching to seats, gators etc and optional 30mm height drop

Delivery confirmed for late June. I have to say I am really looking forward to it. I have always been a RWD fan so it will be interesting to see how my first 4WD car behaves.

Anybody with one of these care to give their ownership thoughts

Hi Merlin 123,
Welcome, I am pretty new to the site also , nice choice of car, Picked up my 2.0 quattro avant last week and love it.

[Merlin123]

Thanks for the welcome guys.

73kingstonroad - I ordered the car late March and was given a 12 week waiting time

Kavithakrar - that's some spec on yours! Mine is a company car so kept the options to a minimum to keep a lid on the tax

Mcintosh - glad you like it. I am really looking forward to having a tear around in mine. Have had RWD for the last 4 cars and FWD before that. I am keen to see how the handling compares round the twisties.

Welcome too. Similar to mcintosh for me, a couple of weeks into ownership of a 2.0 Tfsi Quattro Avant (manual) and thoroughly enjoying it. First Audi for me, having switched from a Volvo S40 2.0D Sport - not a bad car for dull motorway miles by any means, but not a patch on the A4.

Biggest impression so far is that even taking some care with early mileage, there is so much power on offer from a standing start that I'm very glad I opted for quattro (particularly living out in the sticks). I gather wheelspin can be an issue in FWD variants in certain conditions, although in-gear the lighter weight gives them the edge.

Only a couple of minor blips: there seems to be a very slight hitch in the power delivery in 2nd gear at around 2500 RPM when accelerating moderately - barely noticeable if pulling harder. Not sure if this is a common issue, and whether it's applicable to auto 'boxes. Doesn't really bother me.

Also, I have noticed that when braking quite hard, there is some tramlining, which may be partly down to having the 19" alloys. Quite manageable though, and I forget it very quickly when booting it out of the corner! There have been a few grumbles about S-line ride quality in general on lesser roads, but I haven't found it a problem - I'd guess the 30mm drop wouldn't change this view, as you can't pair that with the 19" wheels.

Just my few penneth worth!
