    Hi guys,

    Had a good few long drives last week & very impressed with the car. No niggles or issues.

    Mpg is better than I thought. Showing 49- 52 on the display. Not filled up yet to get the actual. But for a car with less than 1000 miles driving in cold wet weather cant be bad!

    B&O system is simply stunning! Love the sound & will tick the option box again when the time comes.

    Love the clarity & detail these speakers can produce. Have a few good songs to test the system & it simply impresses!

    Seats are very comfy & supportive. Not missing quilted full leather & really like the half leather & alcantara. Seat heating seems very good, and don't need to keep resetting it back to high as per my old Audi.

    Have the front camera preset to my * button on my steering wheel which has come in handy.

    I did try using the front camera to park, but found it far better to place the car the old fashioned way as looking out the windows & using the mirrors, but the 360 camera has it's uses, including showing off.

    I find the rear camera useful & the wash, a very good feature.

    Came to reverse into a space & the back of the car was filthy. Didn't realise that when you wash the rear window it washes the camera too!

    Found it can be a bit sluggish trying to pull out of a junction quickly, but simply move to S and it the issue is resolved. Switch back to D there after.

    Heard a few negative reviews about the car for this including demisting. For me, not an issue.

    So to summarise.

    The A6 Avant, does everthing I wanted to do well.

    Early days yet, but would say I'm very impressed so far.

    I wish the camera on the saloon had a washer! I’m the same as you, no issues pulling out, just stick it in S when you come to a junction. This is something I have got used to with the last couple of Audi’s with step start. Also the demise seems fine to me. Performance is really good from a 2.0 tdi.

    Also really like the matrix lights on auto. Work really well and haven’t been flashed yet. Using them every morning and night at this time of year.

    The wash on the rear camera, is such a great touch. Not seen this before.

    I have to agree the engine seems really good & suits the cars relaxed driving style, and the lights are fantastic!

    It's on the MMI when you have the camera's active. You can select a menu and choose "clean rear camera." Well you can on a C8 A7 and we don't have a rear wiper either!
