LOL, for a $100+K car you can't shoot your entire wad for the car and have nothing leftover ....prepay for mx and don't worry about it, gotta pay if u wanna play.

as far as reliability, wife has had 3 Audi's - 2 TTs and an A5....only had a suspension issue with one of the TTs, zero other issues in a combined 100K of driving. I change the oil on the A5 myself and did the 15000 maintenance myself (oil, cabin filter, air, fluid checks).

wife's 08 TT 2.0t had a flat bottom, I believe others have it too.

Personally, Audi is the king of designs. Another winner look-wise from them.

Hehe mate, if you're referring to those black circle thingies at the bottom side parts of the front-end bumper, then those are not front fog lamps

Rather, those are the cameras (possibly for intelligent cruise control functions and detection of proximity between vehicles or any objects that appear in-front of the vehicle).

Audi and VW have been doing that for years on many of their models.

And even then, the idea is not new. In the early-mid 1960s, some Chrysler products used a classic oval-shaped steering wheel to aid entry/exit.

Love the placement of those "shifter" buttons. Also classy interior before all the cost cutting and cookie cutter designs
