You can tax it online once you've got the logbook I think?
Yes, still enjoying the car, missing the odd thing on the old, the most annoying thing is auto-close - wife & I are forever not closing the door fully - we've been trained by your car to close the doors gently!
Otherwise, it's lovely. It's quite shocking its' acceleration sometimes, I nipped out to Wrexham to collect my iPad (as Apple weren't going to ship for another few weeks) - more an excuse to go on a longer drive - its incredible sometimes. I really don't understand why peeps buy the W12 or S8 - If I could afford new, I'd spec up the v8tdi; leaving aside the fuel savings, you'd forever be in the petrol station with the v10 & W12.
Going to test it as a tow-car this weekend, have booked Friday & Monday off - so, will be on a shortish trip up the M6 to see how it fares.
Briefly hooked the car up to the van to test if the dealer had fitted and wired the tow-bar up properly (issues such as reverse park sensors still go off when reverse selected if not coded properly etc) but they'd done a neat job. The car now detects that it's towing and puts up (a revised) pic of a trailer attached on the MMI screen. On the D3, I used to have to set "Towing Mode" manually. I was also glad to see that the reverse park camera still worked - was a little concerned that Audi might code that as off when reverse selected given that it knew it was towing - but it helps reversing up to the tailor and getting the bar aligned with the van / trailer etc.
It's certainly more economical - I've not driven this tank economically and it fared quite well indeed but I neglected to reset the trip counter and did 100 miles before I realised. I think it had done 350+ miles and still had 30 litres left (as it took nearly 60 to refill it).
