2003 A4 Avant, 3.0L 30v, 6-speed manual, Quattro
Ming Blue Pearl Effect with Beige leather interior

My friend and I took a rental car from Roanoke to Louisville, Kentucky. It took a little over 7 hours with stops. We hit up some bars in downtown Louisville last night. Another 7+ hr drive back to Virginia today. The car drives really nice and smooth. I love it.

I'll take some more photos later. There are a few features which I'm not sure how to use or what they do since the owner's manual didn't come with the car.

Yup, the GTI is gone. Sold to a dude in PA. I was missing it last week, but I'm really excited to have the avant now.

I'd like to do some suspension and wheels for sure. I also wouldn't mind doing exhaust. My understanding that 30 valves sound amazing with a less restrictive exhaust.

We shall see, Mike. I would love to. I did some looking around and saw that people have pieced kits together for around $3k. Honestly, the car sits really nice as it is right now. It handles well too. I don't think it has the sport suspension on it, but it has about a 1 finger gap on both front and rear fenders now. I might rock it as is for a while, but I also said that about the GTI when I first got it. I had new suspension on it within 3 months with that one.

Thanks for the comments guys! I took the wife for a spin today. She likes it too.

30V with a 6-speed. I had no idea that combo was available. Awesome and congrats!

And one-finger?? How fat is that finger?

Yes, it would be nice...but until I win the lottery, I'm going to keep it rather stock. Oh, and I don't play the lottery.

Yes, they made them. There doesn't seem to be many around, so I'm thinking that combo is pretty rare. I just went outside and took a finger measurement. 2 fingers in the front and 1 in the back. Smartass!
