Default Nice: best two days of ownership?

But I wonder if what folks say about boats (I own a smaller Whaler runabout) all blends together w/ Audis in the end:

the best two days of ownership are the first and the last...

I've had a D4 (a few times) as a loaner car from the dealer. I loved it and will definitely consider it as a replacement for my D3. Only thing I don't like is the hesitation when accelerating from a complete stop. I've been reading the threads from the D4 forum, might be solved with a software update. I'll look into more when the time comes.

Nothing to add.
This type of move is a very personal decision each person has to make for themselves.

I'm sure we'll see some of the folks here in D4 or D5 forum eventually

I'm hoping to upgrade to a D4, possibly a '12 or '13 in maybe 4-5 years. Hopefully similarly to my D3 acquisition, from someone who treated it very well.

edit: I would consider selling a kidney for an RS-7, but I don't think the values on those will tank as quickly as a D4, especially a W12.

Jaguar XJ or Bentley Flying Spur for me . D4 just isn't all that different in the grand scheme....

Come on Dave, you drive a TVR. How about a 2014 Range Rover supercharged or a Rapide??

D3 has the same thing, at least mine did. Once it learns your habits, its better. And I believe APR software completely removes that hesitation

Very true....a full fat LWB 2014 Range Rover would be quite the vehicle. Best SUV by miles!
