I recently did the same thing. Traded a 911 turbo for an R8 V10. Both great cars, but it sure is fun hearing that V10 exhaust!

From this....



....to this




Congrats on the new ride!

Both great cars. I love the new R8 V10s. Though I'm partial to the Red with Silver Stripe

again - i love the car -only a few gripes so far...let me know if any of you have similar thoughts/issues

1. no seat memory...what a pain! i have the car cleaned then i have to find that sweet spot for the seat again...

2. horrible sun visors - wow what a joke these are...so small they are totally worthless

3. i love the gated shifter - but occasionally get a squeaking sound from the metal on metal when shifting gears

4. every now and then the brakes squeal. the dealer tells me i should really get on them now and then to make this go away - anyone else have this experience?

5. 3000 miles and i needed to throw oil in - i expected this - same thing happened in my s5 - so no surprise there...

6. its a pain wiping off all of the finger prints after parking somewhere for the day! ok - not really a complaint - but man this thing gets a lot of attention!
