    Sooo good. I drove the car for 8 hours, non-stop, felt like 8 minutes!

    I fell in love with it when it was first launched, and still love it now. BMW/Merc eat yer heart out. Wish they'd do a convertible, so that I could say the same to Audiā€¦

    Fantastic, ask my wife, when she was 9 months pregnant!
