Default Just drove one today

for the first time at Momentum Audi in Houston with a friend who's going to order one. They have two in for demos right now. It's a great vehicle and a great drive.

If you are in Houston, go see Yuri at Momentum Audi.

Default Did you notice how much more weighted the steering feels?

I like it. Reminds me of the cars before servotronic hit.

I was amazed at the turning radius, very tight and steady.
