Default Time to depart

The combination of the desire for a more engaged drive combined with a much-reduced need to commute to work have been the key factors to let go of this excellent hybrid for a '17 A4. Relationship was great and the folks in this forum too! I will still be around. All the best!

Thanks Dave. First time ever crossing over onto the dark side. I'm not into Bimmers as you are... yet... though I never thought I'd be in an Audi.

Nice car! Did you get the digital dash feature? That looks slick.

Thanks. It's called Audi Virtual Cockpit and it was part of a 5K package upgrade which I didn't care for. The trim level I got has a 7" display in between the physical speedo and tach gauges, with the same graphics and similar capabilities as the AVC.

The new A4 is an incredible car. Blows the previous generations away, congrats. Looks like you've had nothing but Lexus since 2005, so change is good ha

Yeah I pretty much went through them all so I had "no choice" but to go outside. First time ownership of a German car. Audi has improved in reliability nearing that of Toyota and Lexus, combined with a refined interior and ride, has nudged me over to try one.

Come back and visit after a while, and let us know how you like it. I've been toying with the idea of the A5 for my next ride, if I don't end up liking the Model 3 in person.

After owning over 20, maybe closer to 25 cars, and plus since I've been looking myself, I always like to dig into the psychology behind why a person would choose a certain car.

What made you choose the Audi over, say, a 2017 Infinity Q50, for example? What other makes did you consider?
