Re: I finally did a swap.... (dmorris05)
The civic is too cheap to keep.... so what the heck. It saves me from abusing the Audi.
Here's the inside... these may be the most comfortable yet supportive car seats I've sat in. The centers are a little soft, but the bolsters are firm, so you sink in and stay there, and those little shoulder extensions are a welcome touch...
Important things....
Its an 08, I picked it up with 15 miles on it today
2.0T FSI (200HP/207 TQ)
6 speed manual
Sprint Blue Pearl Effect (its an A3 special order option, its an S4/RS4 color, and an S3 color in europe)
Black/Platinum Grey Interior
S-Line (wheels, suspension, bumpers, spoiler, sport steering wheel, aluminum and chrome stuff inside, seats, "S-Line" badges)
Adaptive Bixenons (they turn when you do)
Convenience Pkg (auto lights/wipers, autodimming mirror w/ compass... didnt want it, but it was tied in with the lights)
Ipod Adapter
Its not "loaded" by audi standards, but its loaded pretty good by me. I spent the night driving around trying to figure out what stuff was or did. Lots of buttons and stuff to play with. It'll take a little getting used to, the 4 door moves up the pillar behind me, its kind of in a bad spot, and the back window being at the back of the car (and a little small) plays with perception of backwards distances. Adjustments in due time. I really like it thus far. Its really smooth and quiet, it feels like its got some pretty good pickup (I'm still babying it, it was very apparent when I got it this afternoon the clutch was still pretty green).... but this is shaping up to be a fun little car.

Re: (Curiouz_G)
Exactly the same as my mum's... 2.0T FSi S-Line Sportback. Dashboard looks a bit different to UK's though.
and congrats on a really awesome car, i'm sure you'll love it.

The UK car probably does a bit more. The car seems to be wired like a EU car, but then they dumbed it down for us stupid Americans. The car is wired or set up for a lot of things, but then they just arent enabled (examples: there's city light bulbs in the headlights, but no power wire to the harness, the rear fog is there, need a switch that turns it on, I dont have heated mirrors, but that function can be enabled, all a bit silly, they may as well turn it on if they're going to wire the car for it). I would have loved the 2.0T with Haldex and a 6 spd, but they dont offer it here, figures that we get the shaft. Your mom's trip computer probably also displays more than mine. The manual lists all these great features.... available on non-US cars.
While I'm at it.... how do you take a picture of very pearly paint? I used a P&S because it was the dealer lot, but I was going to try it with my friends EOS... the color just always seems to come out looking aqua-ish (overexposed?), when in person its bright royal blue.
