A4 is basically a small car. Ingress and Egress however are worse than our Cruze. Headroom is a bit cramped for me too.

DCT is pretty much pure awesomeness. GM needs this in a big way. Lightning fast shifts.

Acceleration is simply linear. Pulls hard from a stop and doesn't seem to let up at least to the speeds I've accelerated to

Pure Audi refinement. Every company needs to figure this out. As I mentioned before, the Cadillac has all kinds of flash. But Audi simply has mastered refined quality for materials, gap and flushness and tactile feel.

Have to play more with the Drive Select. Can adjust steering, suspension and exhaust from comfort to dynamic and you can customize combinations.

For the most part wayyyyy more performance than I'll be able to use.

Big drop in FE for my commute. Cruze was 26.5 and this is getting around 18 for the same drive. But that's expected for 500 pounds more, AWD and 333 HP But then Mrs. Numer 3's new job has a bigger commute so the Cruze FE is offsetting mine.

All in all, pretty satisfied.

Now if I can just figure out why I can't stream music over bluetooth when my phone connects with the cars WiFi hot spot.

Thank's for the review. It pretty much sounds how I thought it would sound.

DCT.... GM are you listening?
