If every life gives you a chance to buy a sports car of 100K+ go for this. You will enjoy every bit of life spent in/with it. You can feel it even when you are not driving it! All the best AjitMar 07, 2015

This car is fast...really fast, and deceptively so. The exterior styling is more seductive then angular (unlike many of the Italian manufacturers). The interior is comfortable, manageable and simple. The interior is obviously designed by Germans who value sheer driving more than holding shareholder meetings and dinner parties inside. In other words there is nothing inside that doesn't need to be there. The stance of this car is visually beautiful. It's wide hind quarters and confidently displayed engine subtly insinuates sophistication yet when the engine is fired up, a noticeable growl lets the onlooker that this is no ordinary Audi.May 07, 2012
