I have a sound in my steering wheel as well and a minor rattle in my transparent top. I will have these both looked at during my first visit. I have 400 miles on the car. These are minor and I am very pleased so far.

I have a 05 C6 coupe built in early Oct.04. It now has 20,500 miles on the odometer and my C6 has never experienced any of those problems. The only major problem has been the occassional squeaky brakes.

The same thing can be said about my 05 coupe. The hardest thing for me to do is to put it in park and turn it off. I just want to continue driving it!

These are all minor and I love my car.
Try some hard stops from 80 to 10mph then drive around for awhile to cool em off, will stop the brake squeak.

The biggest problem is that you'll want to drive it all the time.

Our 06 A6 coupe so far has minor problems. The driver side rear speaker cracks and pops and the driver side seat left side support does not inflate even with the right side. 1200 miles so far.

The only problem is me. I get up in the middle of the night to check on it. I try to sneak up on it without the FOB to see if it recognizes me. It only recognizes that stupid FOB. Why doesn't it realize that I own it. Not the FOB.
Try this one, put both FOB's in the same pocket and walk up to it and see which one it picks. My car likes number 2 about 4 to 1.
God help me I need a hobby.
See the car does this too you. It's a huge problem.

I've had mine a month now. Great car overall, but...

Center console squeaks too much.

Z51 brakes still squeak

Oh, and it's boring for some reason.

I agree. My 2005 panels fit much better, especially the trunk lid.

Well, ok, there's one problem...it doesn't like to stay at slow speeds.
