Coming from a supercharged M3, I felt this car was going to be hard to impress me. Fuck I was wrong. It feels just as fast as the M3, more planted too. Within 5 minutes of driving the car home, I already felt comfortable driving it. The power is immediate, the exhaust note is sex. I love it! Audi hit a home run with this car, and now I know what all the editors are talking about when they praise this car non stop! Not to mention the attention it gets. Just with it idling at the dealership, a random guy comes up and talks to me for 5 minutes about it. Got 5 thumbs up and a video taping of the car on the drive home.
