Default just test drove a 4.2

I managed to test drive a 4.2 a few days ago. I can say that i am more than impressed with the accelerating power this car generates. For such a heavy car, the V8 really makes the throttle feel light and very responsive.

The only con i found was a very minor issue (but bugged me a lot). The storage compartments on the doors seem very flimsy, and a bit too clumsy for my tastes...(a bit like the A3's)

On my 2.7T the storage compartments feel very strong in the close and open position. Next time you stop by your dealer I would have them take a look.

F@BOY, your comment about the storage compartments is curious as I thought just the opposite. When I realized that they opened, I expected them to be flimsy too but they're not on mine.
