After 8 Months gave up the RL...

Gave it to my mother cause she loved it and got a 2011 Audi S4 6MT. Will be selling my powdercoated gloss black A-Spec wheels with 3 good tires. Will need a tire and one wheel needs a touchup from someones hubcap flying off on the highway and hitting it. Its a very small non noticeable scratch. I love the RL but missed my Manual tranny

Yea mom takes care of cars pretty damn good for a woman lol I taught her everything she only goes to hand washes that I tell her to go to haha. S4 is a lot of fun I def love it but Audi reliabilty is not Acura/Nissan lol So already with less than 1k miles on the S there is a TSB but like with all cars there is bad with good. Thats fine with me as long as this is the only issue for a while. Audi interior is superb the pickup is amazing on the throttle as this car was underrated with 333 HP dyno runs are confirming it actually has closer to 365 at the crank and 345-350 ft lbs Tq. I love this thing but also love the RL

OH yea! I was originally in the market for an E46 M3 or a 07 RS4 the value of the RS4 stayed up there couldnt find them for less than 48k and that was used with 35-40k miles on the clock. Walked into Audi and sat in the new S4 saw all the options available, found out a friend worked at Audi and paying only $500 over invoice The deal was much better than the RS4 even though I love the RS4 money saved was a better option. Plus new MMI navigation and Red/Black interior was too much for me to pass lol.

Nice buy.... I'm thinking about going to an A5 or S5 come May but i'm trying to debate on if i wanna give up my RL or not. Is Audi's nav system and MMI interface as nice as it looks on their web site or is it a big gimmick? 1 thing i dont want to give up is Acura's Nav system. I've tried a bunch of different Navi systems and it is no where as easy to use as Acura's.

LOL i had the same gripe about all German Navigation systems I hate BMWs and the old audi and mercedes ones but in all honesty this navi is the 2nd best compared to Acuras that I have ever used. I really like the MMI it made me change the decision from the 2011 335iS to the S4. Awesome system just as user friendly as the Acura Nav just wont let you input while driving sometimes but that can be disabled. I love it go for it!
