Drive the hell out of it and enjoy. These cars were built to drive. They get a little bitchy if they aren't used. My C4 has been my DD for more than two years and continues to impress me every day. My car has actually been the most fun in the snow with the winter tires. Depending on your budget, the Tubi exhaust is amazing!! The sound is un freaking real and also provides better throttle response.

That's a beauty cbenz1!! I would consider a LED interior Lighting kit and Side Markers to the list if you haven't already. For more information Click Here. Great looking garage by the way

Great suggestions. Thanks all. Have driven 1000 miles in 3 weeks so now have 8000 miles on it. Some observations...very well engineered and comfortable car. Handles very well. Power is sufficient but could use a boost. Exhaust needs some help. Missing PDK - guess I will save it for next car. Although there are tons out there - kids still take pics of the car at light - too funny.

Pretty great, ain't it? If you really want to open up the sound of that car, swap out the exhaust for the FisterD exhaust and throw an EVOM intake. Blew me away what a huge difference that made. The howl it makes at WOT now is utterly addictive, yet nice and docile at partial throttle.

Congrats on your car. I will give you some advice (I've been doing mods to cars for 37 years) with N/A engines like the one in your car you can spend a lot of money hear a lot of claims but your not going to get more than a slight power boost unless you add a supercharger or a turbo both will void your warranty. A CAI kit and exhaust and upgraded sway bars will change the car enough and they are all bolt on mods which can be removed. Enjoy

Fister exhaust seems so much less than some of the others or am I missing something
