Thanks Guys
I'll have to come to a meet now

Have to say haven't found anything to fault yet, very quiet compared to my D3 the engine/soundproofing is better, although I do notice the tyre noise which could be the type fitted or just the absence of anything else. (goes without saying it makes the merc sound like a tractor) Stop start is annoying so may turn that off in due course. Extremely economical too which is always a plus, and the ride on the bigger rims is superb. The biggest thing I notice is the gearbox, it's the best I have ever had, smooth changes but so quick, responds to the paddles like a sports car and the display tells you where it is all the time. The centre display is outstanding you can see everything on it and it's simple and easy to use and set up.
The parking camera with the birds eye view is brilliant, and has already helped me in tight spots and saves those lovely alloys, some of the car parks are tight to navigate in an 8
Managed to find out how to get the MMi to display the album covers when music is transferred to the hard drive, took me a while and a bit of experimenting with file types etc. It won't accept it straight from my digital collection as that is saved in lossless format. My "car" Ipod is an old classic so it doesn't support many of the functions but I'll still connect it when I get a suitable lead. Still can't believe Audi wanted £50+ for a six inch cable! Robbing sods.

Just ordered myself a boot lining protector and managed to get a set of mudflaps for half price on the bay, Audi items Now searching for some over matts as I am a sad OCD git and like to keep everything spotless. Beige carpets and matts need some protection
But after a week I am in love with it so glad I stuck out for an 8 in the end, so sorry if I waffle on a bit .
Good to be back
Cheers Glyn
