I really love what Audi is doing with new cars but I am a little afraid of their reliability ratings.

Have you checked the reliability aspect out jocamryn?

If you were really grown up, you would not post about it.

Funny, as I "Grow up" my cars get smaller. Current is my coupe and A4 avant. Love them both. Great fun.

My 2010 Avant is a great looking car! Im biased of course.

Who here is not?

Im not fully grown up, but thats why I am still here.

But from the side it looks like an A4 that was photocopied at 110%:





If they spice up the styling between the front and back then it would make a huge improvement IMO.
You now I LOVE the A6 but I HATE the LED lighting

Want to know how much of an 'enthusiast' I am? I don't even know what you're talking about....nvm, I just saw that you drive an automatic....'psh' The A6 has 8 gears ours only has 6.


The interior is sweet I ride on inside, I don't plan on riding on the outside. IMHO it's no more bland than the same sausage different size program that BMW is running down the line. The lights just do it for me.



BTW completing order for new black rims with contipro SSR runflats for my E90.

The A6 certainly looks beautiful, both outside and inside. Excellent choice!

Are audi's still front wheel drive?

I heard they have terrible resale value but I'm assuming you're not one to care anyways.

I love Audis but to be honest, the interior is gimmicky. Give me simplicity of a non-iDrive BMW any time of the day.

If you're so "grown up" you can GTFO. Obvious troll is obvious.

You drive an antique E46 model off the used car lot. You opinion matters to me. If you mow a few more yards perhaps you might be able to get a 07 335i. Good luck.

Quattro only comes with 3.0...


I never said I wasn't happy with my E90, I love it, it's a fun engaging drive that I plan to keep for a long long time.

No issues here, I only reply 'in kind'.

Some people get insecure when they see someone not fawning over BMW.

Mostly true, it's part of a package.

Quote:
Innovation Package

This package includes available technologies to help keep you out of harm’s way, while increasing the comfort of your ride. The Audi adaptive cruise control system monitors distance to the vehicle in front via radar sensors and helps reduce speed, as well as resume speed to maintain the driver-selected safe distance. Audi side assist helps monitor blind spot areas and warns you via LED lights in the exterior mirrors when there are fast-approaching vehicles at a range of 150 ft. Audi pre sense plus monitors traffic on the road and activates alerts to notify the driver if a potential collision scenario is detected. The all-new heads up display shows important driver information such as speed, navigation and Audi adaptive cruise control settings. Night vision assistant can detect pedestrians approximately 300 ft. ahead. Also included are full LED headlights.

Package contents
- Audi pre sense plus
- Audi side assist
- Camera and/or distance sensor (driver assistance system)
- Power adjustable, auto-dimming and heated side mirrors with memory and integrated LED turn signals
- Head-up display
- Headlamp range adjustment with fixed bending light
- LED headlights, US design
- Night vision assistant with highlightingof detected pedestrians
- Front and rear acoustic parking sensors

He only dreams about other specific cars long enough to talk about them here. I think I heard him talk about his imminent X6 purchase about a year ago.

Just the worst kind of troll.

Not a Volkswagon fan at all. After the one I test drove died from a melting wire harness, I never looked back. This is a step down in my book.
And still at the end of the day, you are driving a Volkswagon, period, end of story.

To each his own.
