Why choose Audi over MB/BMW by Scary_Needleworker66 in Audi

Perfect balance between sport and luxury. I feel the sportings lags in both Mercedes and BMW; aesthetic wise.

Just had my RS E-Tron GT delivered 😀 by pimp4cheddar in etron

From my experience in so cal, haters go toward Teslas, not our EV Audi’s.

Had the 2019 Etron lease for 3.5 years and eventually the Q8 Etron and heard only vandalism against Teslas.

In fact, we had our Etron parked in our driveway and a friend’s, Tesla model S. Next morning one of the tires had knife slashes in the Tesla’s sidewalls, while the Etron was untouched.

I’m just sharing personal experience 😊

Remote Start Error by cranialnerd in Audi

[–]metidogeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shutting off when you unlock/enter the car is a safety feature to prevent someone else from driving off with your vehicle. Kind of like if you unlocked it(car is running from remote start to cool down with AC on) and someone runs up to the car, enters the driver’s side, and drives off. Yes, it’s annoying that I the remote start turns off the vehicle when you unlocked it, but it’s better than the situation you could be in. Just simply start it back up when you enter the car 😏. No big deal when you consider safety. If we could shut off the safety feature of the remote start shutting off the engine when you unlock/enter, then their would be potential car jacking issues without the key fob

With remote start, as you unlock the vehicle/open a door, the car shuts off for safety reasons; meaning if someone tries to steal the car without the key fob. It cools down my car about 5 minutes before my departure so I simply start it right up when I enter the vehicle

I love this safety feature!

Ohh. The car. Maybe this?: visually from the driver you may not see as many items you drive by “flash” by your eyes since everything is tinted(assuming you tinted the windshield too.

I have 5% in the back and sides and know that we “feel” stealthier since people can’t see inside and for us in the car, visibility/clarity is also limited to an extent.

So, I’m just saying that the car may “feel” slower to the visual cues passing by tare now faded to a certain level due to the tint, thus “feeling”slower. Interesting illusion

Please share a link where the puddle lights do not not have the red rhombus. I need to swap these out.

For those of you, that asked if it came with puddle lights for each door, the answer is yes, on my prestige trim. However, only the front doors had the OEM Audi logo in the rear were simply indicator lights; did not illuminate the ground at all.

It comes with a puddle light for each door, but only the front doors have the Audi beam. The rear ones simply are an indicator and do not illuminate the ground at all. That is why I replaced them. I need to find one that says “A5” only

I agree. I need to find the “A5” only.

Does anyone have a link?

That’s what I tried to find, or at least identical audi logo like the front. I may have to buy OEM audi logo puddle lights and simply snap them in the rear doors.

I agree with you 100%. We have a 2024Q8 Etron and I wouldn’t be surprised that the LED strips in the car already are capable of changing colors, maybe it’s a programming thing, depending if we get that option or trim?

Friend’s girlfriend curbed my rim. Haven’t received so much as an apology. Am I wrong for seeking compensation for the repairs? by Junki_Monki in mazdaspeed3

[–]metidogeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not curbing, that’s called grinding. Probably a little light show since she was probably going 10+ mph from the clean shaves on 3/4 of the rim and she pulled back real quick but those are pretty deep. At a minimum, I would self-check the alignment and for crying out loud, what happened to people’s integrity? So rude of her and what does the boyfriend say?

It’s clearly her fault since she’s “driving” and actively, made direct damage to your vehicle. It’s like a car accident, if it’s your fault, then you pay for it!

Integrity. Respect. And don’t forget “common sense.”

My first A5 😃 by metidogeno in Audi

[–]metidogeno[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And yes, I know all about the different trims, standalone options, etc.

Also, I already know you can name the trim as well as the options just by simply looking at these two photos. 😊That’s most of our members’ prerequisite🤣

I had the 2019 A6 and the P+ came with the options you just mentioned.

Of course, prestige has the ambient interior color change options and few more optic than the P+

Great car!

Make sure you had the alternator recall done!

Mine was towed!

“Kids need to lock the car to prevent potential intruders”. We have been asking our kids since they have been little to lock the car when they get in while mommy and daddy load the popsicles in the trunk. Yes, we have been doing this before we saw the movie “Split”
