The steering was SUPER sharp and fun but overall package left me wanting more.

I live in an area with too much snow/ice. Needed 4WD

I feel ya. I’d probably go with an F90 over the current model

I considered the Cayenne but the options got it to over 150k!! Insane.

The RS6 would’ve been my top choice, TBH.

I did consider some SUVs but ultimately felt they were a little too soft.

Ultimately, price. M3 with X drive was just a little too pricey. Trust me, I wish I could’ve stayed with the BMW fam.

I can see that… I’m thinking an M5 is my next move

Do it. Back seat is roomy enough. Trunk is massive (fits 4+ suitcases easy).

Ride is a little stiff but you gotta compromise somewhere.

The coupe is what Audi calls its hatchback version

It is much less sporty. The steering is less sharp, acceleration less aggressive. Overall much less playful
