Nice, congratulations. Your recent Audi journey and mine are so similar, yet so different. You buy an RS4 and have a nightmare, I buy an A6 V8 and have a nightmare - off the road for over a year now, longer than I had it on the road for. You buy a brand new S3, I buy a 2007 A4tfsi, instantly really like it and on day 2, the fan belt snapped on the M25. The guy I bought it from privately (at least, I don’t think anyone was looking) has been an absolute gentleman, dropping everything to get the parts, even buying a service kit. Nice purchase, Dean, enjoy your motor.

Really pleased you like your new car. Having got the 8V version, there are a lot of things I couldn't live with, not being able to change many of the settings without taking eyes off the road is a big thing for me, touch screens are vogue, I prefer tensile buttons or dials which don't need searching for. The lighting controls look terrible on the rhs of the dash, noncentral and surrounded by the black plastic. I agree regarding the plastic around the centre armrest and drive select, the controls look small for the area they occupy. Externally I like the subtle changes, could be a tad more aggressive, wheels look superb, matrix lights amazing. I have the B&O, but was more impressed with the standard setup in my 2016 A6 soundwise. Thanks for the video - you'll always get old farts like me who will moan, but importantly you love the car and my comments should just be water off a duck's back. Thanks as always for the great content and keep up the good work.
