Here's another dumb question. How the hell do you even pronounce Audi? I've heard so many people say it different ways and I have no clue which way is the right way. Is it Audi like in the first sound of the word "audible" or is it Audi like "outtie" as in the type of belly button? I'd sure like to know since I'm going to get my very first one tomorrow afternoon.

Perfectly normal for 5 sp...that's about where mine is. I'm not sure but I think the 6 sp runs lower rpms at that speed. Maybe someone else can verify

Sorry wrong answer...
Try to think of it like this, people standing on the sidewalk will be saying OUch as they get a cramp in their necks from watching you drive by!

Dunno who these people are, but their explanation sounds right. IF they are right, so is our resident nurse.

no, the 6SPD doesn't really rev lower, the gears are just spaced closer together.

If you listen to it pronounced in German, it's pronounced ow-dee.

I hate when people pronounce it like awe dee. I want to shake them until their eyes roll back in their head.
