Nope.....I'm very happy with my "old" '22 seeing as how the instrument panel in the '23 looks like little Johnny's science experiment hot glued to the dash.

Agreed, happy I made the cut for a MY22 as well. I'll take the new dash when I have to. Hopefully they'll integrate it into the dash and re-add climate control knobs by then.

Its perfect as it is, if it's not broke don't fix it

I really like how you can select SansaTec as your interior and now select driver's side lumbar support as an option. That saves a bunch of $$ rather than having to pay for leather.

No way, I use my gear shifter all the time to manually shift. Also not a fan of the new Dashboard... Much prefer the 2022 dash & controls

that said, good luck with your 2023

That's the reason I opted out when I spec'd my build with the CA. Called him today to add it back in if he can (will rarely ever use it but for $550, might as well be there for convenience)

Are the port options for 2023 confirmed ? Obviously it will be a different interior so it will very a different interior CF trim.

Nope. Many of us did not want ID8. I think the only option I would choose from 23 over 22 is the rhombus interior trim instead of the 22's aluminum.
Agree. Do not want 23 model. I'll take a 22. But thinking of backing out of my order and going with audi RS3 now. On the fence. Not thrilled with the changes on the 23 model
RS3 is sick. I would have a tough decision if I was able to buy one in Canada 😂

Just got the call that it was changed back to the Tacora!

Thanks again for your help. This little win makes the journey just a little less of a painful one!

Does anyone have any good experience with both Vernasca leather and Sensatec?

Sensatec was out of the question for me bc no lumbar support, but now that is no longer the case, Cognac is looking very appealing to me.

Had ACC on my last car and really disliked it. New screens are ugly for sure, but after test driving an i4, it's definitely function over form as it wasn't distracting. Biggest disappointment for me is the climate control buttons - no idea why burying controls via a screen interface is a good idea (FYI there is a fixed temp menu on the bottom of the screen - but you still have to go into the menu to access anything beyond temp adjustments). For that reason alone I prefer the 22, but I can't win them all - at least I got the "rhombicle" trim going for me

I have a 22 X3 with Sensetec and a 22 m240 with vernasca leather. Sensatec is much softer to the touch both are good products I don't feel one is better than the other just different.

very intriguing to see different perspective toward '22 and '23 UI differences!

as for seating, i do prefer a much firmer seat! hopefully the tacora red leather is firm seat!

Thanks! Just wondering as my status went from 112 to 111 after the CA made the switch to Tacora. Does that mean another delay potentially? Or is that pretty normal when changing anything in 112?

Can you find one close to sticker? The sticker price for a quattro was around $8k more than the BMW, but the RS3 mark-ups around here started at $8k on top of that - which would have put a comparable build at nearly $70k vs $55k on the m240i. There were a few more amenities on the RS3. I also like how most of the extras I wanted are bundled in their tech pack. Overall loved the Audi, but the delta was too steep.

Yea I found a dealer near me that will give me the RS3 for sticker but a 8-12 month wait. And yea it's about a 7k difference between the 2 but audi will give more for my 340 trade then what bmw is so they say but I'll know for sure once I drive up there

A real tuff decision bc I don't to wait 8-12 months for the rs3 when the 240 will be in soon.

Is your trade gonna be worth the same amount in 8-12 months? Or are you selling now? Because the market is def not coming back to normal anytime soon, and my car dropped about $2.5k in value across the board at every appraisal route in the course of about 6 weeks

Not sure really...it sounds like a number of people are getting sent back to 111 so it could just be coincidence that yours did too, or it may be common after changes are made.
