My dad was in the market for an Audi A6 and I wanted to test out an R32 so I went to the local VW/Audi dealership with him.
McKenna VW/Audi/Porshe/BMW of Norwalk has a multi-tier parking garage in which they store all of the new cars in. I was salivating as I passed by a row of RS4s, S4s, 911s, etc. On the top floor, I saw two Deep blue R32s remaining. THe sales guy retrieved one of them and then I took it for a spin around the block. First off, the seat height seemed a bit higher than the GTI, I tried to adjust it but it won't go any lower. It definitely felt slower than my tuned GTI but damn the VR6 was buttery smooth. I loved the noise it made (especially on the downshifts :biggrin
. And most of all, I fell in love with the beautiful blue paint. It made my reflex silver GTI look like a pile of blah :frown:. The only bad thing I can say about the car is that the tacky, foil-like door and dash trim was awful. Even though it's expensive, costly to mod and slower than my car in stock form... I still want one. The sticker price for the one I tested was nearing $45k...is that normal? (it sure as hell didn't seem so). I'm really considering a trade-in. BTW My dad is gonna pick up an Oyster Gray V6 A6 Quattro this Mon. I test drove that as well and I'll just say that it's a very nice car to be in.
