Default Just picked up the S5

I love the car but at the same time have a little bit of buyers regret because its such a big purchase. I hope the car's performance and quality makes it go away.

Congragulations. That's quite a New Years Day present for you.

Your first New Years' resolution, of course, is to break it in properly. If the dealership didn't go over Audi's break-in rules with you before you took it home, if they are not in the Owners' Manual, or if you don't already know them from previous experience, PM me or ask here on the thread, and I will give you the standard break-in rules for a new car.

hey thanks. I actually looked at the manual while I was waiting for the paperwork to be done and saw the break in instructions. fairly simple.

thanks, funny thing is I had no plans to get the car today. I just went to see if they would budge on their initial trade in amount, but I guess they really wanted that year end bonus.

Nice purchase. I think every buyer goes through that feeling. I think it's called cognitive dissonance.

Congratulations,

That is a very sexy car! You'll be one of the first on the road to have it... prepare to have some necks whipping around.

Make sure to give us some driving impressions after you put a few miles on it.

actually the S5 came out before the A5. the auto S5 and A5 are coming next in the spring. sadly for me the auto (DSG) S5 will be much faster than the 6 spd.

That's awesome! Congratulations man! I've seen a couple on the road and they are just so much more beautiful on the road and in person than a picture can ever justify. Enjoy it and get some better pics! haha
