    Re: It's nearly here

    Just picked it up a few hours ago. Initial impression is very good. However, I need to get use to the gearbox and clutch as it is very different to my previous RS4. This car demands concentration whereas the RS4 is just like any other car. I had a few problems with the gear popping out. Not sure if other people experienced it but it seems that you really need to click it in the last few mm to be sure that it is engaged.

    During the short drive back from the dealer to my office I have never had so many people staring at me (or my car really) that I need to get use to it. Will post more thoughts and pic later when I get around. Right now I just want to drive!!!

    Almost 6 months and they are still looking ...and chasing me to take photos with their camera phones (which can be scary)

    Re: It's nearly here

    Just came back from another night drive. Another problem surfaced as the HU starting to behave strangely. I put in a SD card with some songs on it and it played ok for awhile and then it started to skip. Now the whole thing is not working. Looks like I will need to take it back to the dealer....

    The RNS-E cannot read CD text at all, unless it is directly from the SD card (as the file system is difference). As for Chinese text display, there should be a version of the firmware that can display simplified Chinese but not traditional. However, that version is only available in China.
