New B7 S4

Just picked up a new 2006 S4, 6MT, nav, premium, XM, etc. to replace my B6 S4 6MT. The dealer took 10K off sticker to move the unit, so I could not pass it up. Arctic White with ebony interior. Great dealer experiance.

Seems to drive quite differently than my old B6. Steering feels different, more precise somehow. Much firmer ride than the '05. Also at first the clutch take-up on shift was more harsh - kind of jerky on shifting - but after a few miles I got the feeling of it and it smoothed out. Throttle / clutch seems better from zero speed so maybe there was an improvement in throttle control logic since the B6.

I never had a car with nav before, but it took about 30 min to get totally addicted...

Now I need to decide which exhaust to fit...and intake...
