Is your 2.7 a quattro? Going from quattro to fwd would be my main issue. I was given a new ultra to drive and the way you drive it has to change. At the first few junctions that I pulled out of the front wheels were scrabbling for grip and that was driving an auto. I prefer rwd or quattro. The power was ok, but I was surprised the engine wasn't more refined and quiet. Maybe I've been spoilt by a few years of V6 diesels.
