Default Goodbye TL, just ordered a 3.2 6MT Avant

After spending $2000 on an oil leak and $1000 for a suspension repair to my allroad, I decided it was time to move on to something more reliable. Sure the TL is reliable, but it just isn't an Audi. I really miss quattro in rain & snow, and the little things began to bother me. Too many rattles, poor paint quality, cheap leather and unpredictable torque steer. I hope it doesn't snow too much until January.

Excellent! I ordered a 3.2 manual Avant a couple of weeks ago and am counting the weeks until delivery (no firm date yet, estimate is late Dec or early Jan).

I hate it when people don't post useful information in the subject field.

Default I tried a TL, too, but I had to come back to Audi.

There's no comparison. TLs are junk compared to these cars. Even if the Acura was a hundred times as reliable it would still feel "disposable" in comparison.

Default NP...Atleast you got our subtle hint. And your very welcome :)

BTW, Congrats on your decision and your order...
I too will probably pull the trigger on an Avant this coming summer.
