The German manufactuers need to stop with this. How many times can you split a hair? There are too many trim levels as it is. Why continue to have small bumps in HP, or provide 1000 different options? Its honestly turning me away from upgrading this year.

Umm..if they can’t even mow their lawn, I’d avoid it at all costs.

Was this on a 2 mile stretch, 3 or maybe 4? If so, this is pathetic. It just goes to show how poorly engineered this car is. I’m better off driving a minivan with that much horsepower to achieve those speeds. Comfort, side loading doors for ma bitches and/or the potential to mount a ZSU -33 15.MM in the middle for…

They fit a damn vaccum on the front of that car, BRILLIANT!

This would not surprise me. Nice find! Mine is a 2012. It was a fuel leak recall, pertaining to the fuel rails themselves I guess. The Audi dealership pulled the supercharger, replaced a bunch of items, PCV, thermostat, fuel rails etc. Anything can happen in any car I guess.

In my opinion, if you can compete in either of those leagues, you can probably learn the techniques in the other class and be at the top, or near it. Reflexes, car control will require new skills, but think about who is at the top in each racing league. Those guys can drive just about anything at the limit.

Believe me, if I could look past putting a ton of miles on it, and the stop and go aspect of LA traffic, I would do it today..It just goes against my instinct of “its a special car, make it last”.. Depends on what model of course.

Ouch! I’ve had some similar experiences with Dealers stating that I can wait, no worries at this time, only to have my car not start a day or two later...

I think Porsche appear to have decent reliability due to the low prodcution quantity and generally low mileage on most cars. You might think that low volume would allow for reliability to stand out, but I think to some degree, it can have the opposite affect. Porsche also has been known to treat customers quite well,…

I thought about a CPO Porsche, still considering it actually. However, I don’t think I would want to dd it in LA.

Stick with the Lexus. I’m looking at them today actually. For what I want, they’re such heavy cars, though. Even for RWD..not sure why, I guess they aren’t using much aluminum yet.

Can’t blame you there. I had a 2011 335D. Incredible vehicle! However, within the first 18 months, it had $8k worth of work done to it.

I wish I had an answer for you..I was looking at a ‘16 Mercedes C450 AMG, but only to lease. I couldn’t imagine financing another German Auto. I think it does come down to “initial” quality for them.

So strange..my S4 had a recall last year for a possible fuel leak. I only found out about the leak after I smelled fuel coming through my vents. I pulled over, and sure enough, there was fuel puddling on the aero plate. Not sure what to think anymore of the German autos. 3 year lease is fine, but if you want to own…

Shouldn’t you be out on a ledge somewhere?

I feel like that impact would compress your spine quite severly..no? No way for me to determine their decent speed, but I imagine there are others that can on here.

I am this year. No hatch or stick coming in that model as an upgrade to my S4. I’m still confused as to what my next vehicle will be at this point.

Pearl St? Hard to tell..

Cool story, Bro.

I get it, man. I do. Those apps have audible alerts, and even voice navigation, so you don’t need to stare at the screen to know whats going on.
