Hi everyone,

Just got my new S4 yesterday afternoon. What a car! I'm in love. Haven't been this happy in a car for a while. I'm in Boston, but got it from a dealer down in PA for a great deal, so didn't get a chance to see it before I bought it - talk about being a little nervous about what I was getting!

I tested a Prestige with Titanium package and every option from a local dealer - but a little out of budget. Got a 2012 Premium Plus with Nav, S tronic, Advanced Key, Rear Acoustic Sensors, B&O, Supercharged Badges, in a Brilliant Black with black on black Alacantra seats. Missing some performance options - but don't think I'm going to miss them - at least in the beginning.

I drove it three times last night on pointless errands that were fun as hell. Took it out in the morning as well (walk and train it to work). The MMI is great - my wife's car is basically is AUX thru a 3.5mm jack. My old car was a 2004 Volvo S60 R. That car was awesome, but can't compare with this. This car is strong - and drives so amazingly well. Get a few more looks in this one which ain't so bad, no one knew the R at all. If you have to explain it to them, forget it.

Very helpful to read all the threads here, and was great to learn a lot while I was waiting for the beast. Leasing it so, can't do too many mods unless I'm sure I'm going to buy it in the end, but any advice for a new guy is appreciated. Also any Boston folks out there?
