Surprise and Delight

The "Little things that annoy you" is a popular thread here, so I thought I'd try the opposite: what little things make you sit back and say "Nice"?

My starters for 10:

• Boot release on the keyfob pings the boot open, great for finding the car in big car parks
• Footwell lights are LEDs
• Little hooks in the boot for hanging bags
• Voice control actually works (never used it in my C6 as it was rubbish)
• I can check the oil from the MMI, never could read it from the dipstick on my C6.
• Powered fold up mirrors make me smile every time, especially the dip when reversing.

Personally, I think It's all nice. It's the only car I've had that makes me smile every time I get in it.:drive:

Cannot find anything bad, all is nice in my A6 :)

- The color DIS is amazing, what other car has something so cool?
- Voice command can be temperamental, but it works
- The Bose has really good sound
- Love the Beam Assist
- The ACC has made queues such a difference
- Anything in this car makes the wife giggle

Good idea for use of the boot release.

I adore the lighting pack, the way the car lights up when you unlock it and the led strips in the door cards. Superb.

Nice thread :fing02:

After experiencing A4 Sline’s I was delighted at how supple and comfortable the A6’s suspension was in comparison. I’m also still discovering new things 3 months in. For example, I had no idea I had a retractable mesh rear screen/blind until a few days ago :Blush2:

Also, Voice control button > navigation > postcode actually works even with a Glaswegian accent :biglaugh:

Hi Guys
We have only had my car for 2weeks and have loads of questions. Its a 2012 A6 Avant SE and it makes us feel very special every time we drive it as we have come from a Fiesta ST.
Can you please tell me can you set the foot well lights to be on all the time and our passenger mirror doesn't dip when we select reverse.
I cant believe how smooth the car is.

Not sure if you need the lighting pack, but I have a variable setting in the MMI. You might need a VCDS tweak for the mirror dip:

It's mostly the driving experience for me...

1. Understated look for the performance of the BiTdi.
2. Sports diff - now I understand how much more assistance it provides over Quattro.
3. Brakes, notablyvery little fade.
4. Auto cruise control - I miss this everytime I drive cars without.
5. Driver control, all the instantaneous wizardry that takes inputs, analyses and delivers what you want - brings driving with no drama.

I love the HUD / Lighting pack at night (scuff plates and door handles etc) / Sat nav when using Google maps.

Bi-TDI for the next one, the only thing I REALLY want that my car lacks.
