We traded in my wife's '17 Accord on a CPO 2018 A4 Premium Plus over the weekend.
While I'm going to miss the sound of Honda's 3.5 V6, I'm not going to miss the wheelspin and outdated technology.
As a die hard manual guy, I gotta say the 7 speed auto shifts ridiculously fast and the paddles are really quick to respond. Enough so, that I could probably live with this. It has the sport package, and the optional 19" wheels, so it handles pretty well for it's size and all season tires.
This is a huge upgrade over the Honda from an interior and technology perspective--which is what the wife wanted--and the interior is gorgeous. I'm jealous of the virtual cockpit compared to the watered down version in my Golf, and the B&O stereo is probably the best sounding factory stereo I've ever heard.
Tint and some clear bra are scheduled for Saturday morning. After that, wifey want's to tune it, so I suspect a JB1/4 are going to be in our future.
