My favorite feature is going to the store and getting the groceries and then going home - rocks!

Poor corner exit? Naw, you can do that in any car. [;)] I kid, I kid!

Mmmmmm. Avant it, avant it a lot.

Finally! I can pull .98 G's without worrying about cracking some stupid candle my girlfriend insisted I overpay for.

They do help a lot.

You'll be able to hit those corners hard.

E.Anderson

11-09-2014, 06:03 PM

purposely took trac off took corners at 50 not so much as a yogurt out of place. As long as the lady friend isn't in the car, it's balls to the walls going to get groceries....it truly is the little things in life.

It really is, it's hidden.

One of those features that you would stumble upon a few months into the car.

Lol wow, didn't know so many people were not aware of these. Such a simple feature but amazing. Everyone will find a reason to use them

Definitely nice feature.

there's also a net that you can attach for those smaller items that aren't in bags -> cases of beer for example so the boys don't go sliding around the trunk getting all worked up before you pop the cap

i use mine all the time, too bad california is getting rid of plastic bags, i need to find some short reusable bags, all the ones i have the handles are too long and the hooks dont do anything with them.

They likely will never get rid of them, just charge you $0.05 a bag like they do here. Cause of course the big grocery industry isn't making billions and they are feeling the pinch...

Next thing you guys are going to start posting about how you didn't know the sun visors slide on the rod, when you swing them over to block the sun on the driver's window. Cause they do, you all know right?

Seattle got rid of plastic bags a couple years ago. Even paper bags are $.05 each.

Coming from someone who works in IT. I can't figure out how to post a .jpg directly from dropbox or onedrive! I blame them. Til then i've given up, clicky on linky above

Fixed it for you:

I just found them today on accident. Granted I've only had the car 6 months. Pretty cool feature.

11-10-2014, 03:40 PM

LOL at ostracizing the people who hadn't yet discovered this rather well hidden feature.
So internet. Such tough.

Ohh plastic bags, I remember those.

chaos2984

12-06-2014, 04:41 PM

yea when i found out my B7 had them i was like sweet awesome these are the best. So you can tear it up from the grocery store and the oranges won't roll around on the aggressive ride home lol. I love them on the B8 now too

12-06-2014, 07:53 PM

I refuse to ever buy another car without this feature

I had them in my '06 Jetta.

They hold a 6 pack of beer real nice as well. No bottle rolling around in your trunk. In fact they are balanced well enough to hold a 5 pack since you don't want to worry about your 5 beers crashing into each other in the trunk while you drink the 6th on the way home.

Just picked up a set of Costco reusable bags today. Two pairs of handles on each bag, the shorter pair is perfect for the grocery hooks.

I actually had my cargo net hooked into those grocery hooks for a while. I knew it felt wrong but after a while it seemed to work really well for me. Until it came loose and slingshotted at me. True-ish story.

PS the Calgary's worst driver thing has a thread in chatterbox.

12-09-2014, 02:47 PM

I had no friggin idea about those hooks! This is gonna help out a lot! Also... no clue that the visors slid back for the side window. Great stuff. A bit ashamed I didn't know about this sooner. Had this car since 2011 and this is the 1st I've heard of these features. Derp!

Wilbur

12-10-2014, 07:13 AM

Nice video. I had those hooks in my A6 2.7 6MT! Better check B8.5!

Me having to get them is the worst feature. BTW, thanks OP, it's nice to discover a feature I didn't know about. So awesome :D

I've been using these Velcro-bottomed blocks. Apparently I'm a noob, but now that I know about the grocery bag hooks I'm not anymore!

my god, I thought those were for the cargo nets.

Also, you have to set it as public, then just get the url link for it, and then you can share.

good to know i'm not the only one! This should really be included in the "things you need to know" when the Audi girl goes over your S4 features with you....yea i know, i'm just thinking crazy now.

Casius

02-01-2015, 08:19 PM

That is honestly one of the things that I'm most looking forward to when getting back into an Audi

E.Anderson

Also it's great for take out. The food moves with the g forces. Never have to worry about it sliding around
