Default Finally Got It!!

Just got a Nebula Gray Pearl with Flaxen Leather. Got it almost 60k OTD with those dent protection, their paint protection too and 1 more other option. The only bad thing is that the response is kinda slow or lag. Picture will come tomorrow!!!

Congratulations, you will love the ride.

Slow response? Try Sport or Sport+ mode.

Sport mode increases the throttle response so it will make a difference.

Congrats you love this thing. Yeah you have to put in either Sport or Sport + to get the quick response. I agree there is a small delay when you floor it but if you gradually drive it, it will deliver. The normal mode has the power, but ECO mode starts you off slow as it is trying to keep your gas mileage up vs down.

Very nice. You'll love it. I came from a Porsche 911 Turbo. Now, this car is no 911 Turbo to be sure, but I find the acceleration and handling excellent.

Having driven Porsche 911 Carrera, now I know what you are feeling, the momentary lag. It is not as pronounced as in the Audi, try using the Sport or sport plus setting and you have more of an instantaneous rush.

put the car in reverse and adjust your mirrors, once the mirror is where you want it put the car back in park. Your mirror will be adjusted.

Yes I do, I have gotten used to it though. That is usually in normal or ECO mode.
Really if you adjust the mirror while in reverse it will stay that low or high and wont mess your setting when it goes back, gonna try this tomorrow. Learn something new everyday.

haha Thanks. I scheduled to bring my car back to the dealer to get the paint protection thing from lexus and told them about the scratches on my car and a rock chip on my hood and they told me they will take care of it. People wasnt kidding around about the paint, I just drove it for 2 days and I think I got a few rock chips near the front already. =.=
