My MY2010 2.0T Avant S-Line Exec - Aruba Blue

**ScottyUK** · 02-09-2009,12:18 PM

So after Audi forgot quattro last time, I've now got the car I ordered.

I love it !

The quattro is as expected i.e. you just go faster with no fuss and no more scrabbling for grip.

Really prefer the Aruba Blue to the Meteor Grey but then I'm colour blind so just ignore this if you don't agree

B & O is better than the MY2009. The DSP seems to work so much better and the radio reception is definately improved.

3G MMI - it's a great improvement. It's so much more than just 3D buildings

I'm already a big fan of the power tailgate.

I am missing the S-line badge on the wing though which a bit of a concern - damage repair ???

A few more

I have never been a blue car fan, but that aruba looks the muts scotty.

Glab to hear all is fine (badge apart) and would be good to see some more MMI screen shots to wet my appetite for next month.

Enjoy

Great car Scotty - Looks stunning!

3G Nav Plus too? Here's hoping you don't have radio retuning/TMC/TP issues a couple of us have been struggling with for the past few months!

As for the badge - I think it's par for the course. Mine was missing a badge on the boot when it was delivered, but the supplying dealer got it sorted in a few days.

Enjoy the car!

I am not a huge fan of Aruba blue but your car looks really well Scotty (the 19's and 2.0T exhausts really finish it) - did the last car (the -q) have grey Milano too?

Looks great Scotty

Good colour choice.

At least it is a very quick fix to sort out your S-Line badges. Strange though to see them missing.

Very jealous of your large glovebox! Not really sure why not having 3G MMI should make any difference as to whether you get the net or tray AMI connection!

About time! Looks nice mate.

Cheers guys. Aruba's definatley a colour that's better in the flesh than photos. Today was very cloundy and I took those just before it rained. In the sun it's totally different again.

But colours are very personal so thanks for the nice words and no problem at all if you don't like it coz we do and ultimately that's all that matters

Tigers - It's just one badge. I've just let them know so we'll see how it goes. I'll also double check that corner of the car when I get home just in case it's due to damage repair but more than likely it's simply just a missing badge.

It's black leather but it always looks grey with my camera. The last one did also! I think it see's black and hence increases the brightness/contrast etc.

I think £330 for full leather (on top of the S-line Exec cost) is a bargain for a wipe clean baby friendly surface

I am another fan of the colour and if I was ordering again that is probably what I would go for.

We need bigger pics though! Don't know if it's me but I really struggle to see them!

Got all your VAG COM tweaks done?

Enjoy it

WOW- I know you've only had it 5 seconds but when you likely to be selling? LOL

I admit Aruba blue looks great- I think I saw it on MKCs photos first and was very impressed, still yet to see one in real life though

Glad you like the power tailgate too.

One fully loaded Avant- I'm a smidge jealous hehe
