stlg you re satisfied with the g37? RS4 probably costs more because of the quattro. and the quattro system isnt as allmighty as people think it is. i was driving an RS6 on snow and got thrown off the road without any warning. when you really push a quattro vehicle on water or snow, it s holding real well one second and all of a sudden within the next second u have no grip and cant do anything with the steering wheel or the gas pedal to regain control of the car. all my friends who owned audis and used to be die-hard audi fans have said the same thing and now they all drive bmws...reason being that because of a more responsive steering in bmws;- u at least know trouble is coming since u r getting more info from the steering wheel as to what s happening between the road and the tires. and this is something u know only if u have hands-on experience with pushing cars to their limits. audi fans dont want us to know this, but the devine one knows and will share it with the bmw comrades.
yup, very satisfied with the G. A5 was overpriced, i took a 25 minute test drive of the 335i and ended up putting it in limp mode because the turbos overheated in only 85 degree weather, and the is350 is just too tame and lazy for me.

it was an auto 335.. i didnt know how to drive manual at the time
and i dont think the auto's had/have oil coolers? but theres no way i got the car hot enough to be overheated. whatever the problem was, the car wasnt giving me any power. needless to say, the salesman tried to blame me and said nothing like this had ever happened.
