First off I want to thank everyone who responded in my other thread about a car I was looking at. I ended up passing on that car and I'm glad I did. This past Tuesday the perfect car I was looking for popped up in Rockville, MD. Today I was able to get down there and make the deal. I'm extremely happy with my purchase and absolutely love the car. It was sad letting the B6 go but I've had enough with the maintenance on it. The 3.0T is an absolutely incredible engine. I'm amazed at how quick this car is. First thing I did when I got it home was remove the front plate holder. Anyway on to the specs and pics!

I'm curious to hear your thoughts about the size difference. Going from a B6 to a C7 is a larger car. Does the handling feel different? I realize the A6 is a completely different class of vehicle (one that is more luxury based instead of sporty feel) but I'm interested in your opinion.

Thanks everyone! I got the car cleaned up earlier today. What a great color Oolong is.

Absolutely the handling is different. This car is much larger weighs a lot more. I will say I loved the handling of the B6. It can definitely out-corner the C7. Honestly, I really wanted to stay with the same size car but my only option was the A3 for that size and I hate everything about that car. The B8.5 A/S4 never interested me either. I always feel the proportions on it were wrong and I never liked the interior. Going to a car this size definitely requires a change in driving style. Obviously it rolls some but I'd say for the heft, the body is well controlled by the sport suspension. I test drove a non-sport and it definitely rolled more. Probably the biggest change is the immediacy of the engine. The 1.8T, even though tuned, had turbo lag but did pull well once spooled. This 3.0T though is immediate and much quicker. I love it. The long and short of it is, they are two different cars that require two different driving styles. The C7 fits my driving style much better. Hope this answers your question thoroughly enough.
Congrats on the new vehicle!

...consider EuroCode's sways and end links to drastically reduce roll...you won't regret it....
