Got it this evening...

2.0TFSi - Runs superb!

Still got to run it in a little, but the difference between this and the 2.0TDi I test drove is huge, sounds great as its revving up, and although a little tight, I can tell when it frees up it is going to be great!

Will post pics as soon as :D

Congrats, I bet you have the alarm set early for work!

I'm not jealous (much). Waiting for my TDI 2.0SE, 3 weeks now and every day I am just wishing it was here. When did you order it?

[kodkod.84]

I should stop coming to the B8 section as I am getting more and more envious lol :biglaugh:

Oh well 2000 miles to go and the B7's getting her 2nd service- they better give me a new A4 for a loan car- got an A6 s-line with flappy paddles last time which was pretty smart.

and I still have 8 weeks to wait!! Enjoy it :biglaugh:

[martin@wolfy]

really jealous, hope you enjoy. I ordered on the 15th september and was given the 15th Nov a provisional date. found out yesterday that it now has a provisional build date of week 47 (17th Nov) and even that is not fixed.

Nice to see they come through in the end.

wolfy!!!!!

Congrats.. and enjoy..

I got mine 1 month ago to the day... I took the day off work to pick it up.

Its a real pleasure to drive knowing its a brand new build of car. Specially when you catch someone giving it a little look around in a carpark, or B7 drivers rubbernecking.

I ordered it around the 15th August, was probably lucky that there was not a back log of orders on the turbo motor at that point! 8 weeks is long enough though!

I can say that the B&O is a great addition, and the Advanced Key is something I will learn to not live without, always carrying things etc..

Was delvered with 24 miles, and now up to 80! Will not quite get into triple figures for the drive home, but will get there tomorrow.

Hardest thing is keeping the revs down...

Not 100% sure on the FWD though, the servotronic sterring and the power makes it feel like its torque steering and traction seems a bit rubbish, although I am sure this is mainly due to the new times not bedded in yet. I am sure it will be at 1000miles before I know it and all run in :)

Ramon,

Just out of interest, you ordered on the 15th August but when did you actually get a firm build date and not estimated? Also what was your build week?

Thanks

Mine was ordered on 8 August and I got a build date at the beginning of Sep. My build week was 41 commencing 6 Oct. Dealer expects to have it by the end of October and I will collect in middle of Dec :zx11: due to being out of the country until then! Bit annoyed since the dealer told me in August that estimated delivery dates for the 2.0T was end of Dec!

[Ramon959]

Actually it was all through the lease company - I was advised on the 21st August that it would be delivered on the 15th October, and that is exactly what happened.

The plate is HG58 xxx so I figure must have come from Poole Audi.

Where is your dealer located? I visited the dealership near M23/Gatwick and they told me that August order would be October/Early Nov delivery so not too far off.

Jealous. Mine is built next week, delivery "ABOUT 3 weeks".....

First post so take it easy on me,

If you are refering to the Crawley Audi (inchcape) dealership then this is where my car is being ordered from (lease company order) Ordered on the 24th Sept and is confirmed build for next week with a delivery due to me on or around 14th November.... so things seem to move quite quickly through that particular dealership

Ordered mine on 4th August and being delivered to the door from a 'Drive the Deal' Audi dealer in the north on Tuesday.

Typically being Drive The Deal I have had to sell my old Toyota and in the intervening time the bottom has fallen out of the second hand market, and the aircon bust and needs few hundred pound repair. Too honest to sell it on without:(.

Ordered mine last week of September and quoted delivery at the end of November. I am now trying to sell a 56 plate Avensis which is currently advertised on Autotrader. I too I am concerned about the resale value but when it comes to it I want it off my hands so somebody could get a fairly good deal.

Ordered mine 1st sept, pick up 31st Oct
