Hi guys, I've been here for many years with my C5 & traded today for a 2014 TR coupe 3LT A6. Really fast with 100 more hp. Awesome electronics if I can ever learn them

Congrats, I think you're going to love the A6 in that car. And there's no problems with them like they have with the A8. Where's the picture of the car?

It's a good time to pick up a C7. With the C8 reveal there will be a glut used C7s on the market soon.

Yeah have fun. My wife just got her C7 earlier this year. I absolutely hate all the technology in the damn thing. I've pretty much figured out how to start and drive it, that's it.

Congrats on jumping to a C7 - and you are right, there is a huge difference between the C5 and a C7. I thoroughly enjoyed my C5s but I fully expect to do the same with my C7.
