Same issue. My wife hates my car because it’s in the shop all the time lol. I think it’s reliable but of course she’s tired of the inconvenience. For what I’ve put into my C6, I’m sure I could’ve bought a nice C7 S6. But then it’s lacking the emotion you get from the V10 noise, the conversations it starts, all of the additional carbon parts that make it seem extra special, etc, etc… Pros and cons either way I guess. I just don’t see many non-audi enthusiasts go as crazy over the C7 like what seems to happen with my C6. I’m sure a loud exhaust and pops on a C7 may come close, and the speed differential would be interesting, but the novelty and unmistakable sound profile we get from the V10 is hard to beat. I find myself riding with the radio off at least half of the time I’m in the car. Especially when in sport mode. Peace of mind is priceless right? lol
