The TL needed new rotors......
so I bought an Audi A5!!! 2010 Midnight Blue with a manual!!!
Loving it so far - not a lot of power, but more torque versus the TL and the stick shift makes it feel much faster. I hope to save my pennies and put in a chip in the new few months.....and I love the 19" Audi rims so I won't be getting any new shoes for her. Sadly this doesn't have the Navigation package with the rear view camera install - so I'll be looking to get that installed if I can find a relatively cheap option.

Beautiful car. I am a huge fan of the A5/S5.

Congrats. Very jealous.
As far as chipping goes, wait until you're out of warranty. Audi can now detect ECU upgrades and will flag cars throughout their dealer network. They will deny any engine warranty work for cars with upgrades. Maybe Magnuson-Moss should protect it but Audi doesn't care. The burden of proof falls on the owner mow.

I found out that some dealers will put a Stasis chip in there and the warranty will stand......but it's $1,500 for 50 more hp and 50 more lbs of torque.
Maybe next year when bonus time comes around......
