If this is for your wife, 2.0T is fine.

If this is for you, gotta man up and get the 3.0T.

I test drove a 2012 3.0T could have done that but it had 3k miles. Don't need the power and this was plenty fast.

Congrats! Looks awesome! Love that feeling when all the paperwork is done. Also, Kudos with doing all the test drives in one day.

I wonder if the fact that Audi was your last stop played into the fact that you bought one. Like what if you ended up at BMW last...

Will indeed.

Basically the day went like this - Test drive a Genesis (2015), really liked it. Loved the ride and the gadgets. Got the guy to $49,500ish. Really an amazing achievement of a car.

Went to Cadillac and drove a ATS, the CTS seemed out of price range. Didnt like it at all. The ride was hard, it was cramped. The Cue system didnt work right in the test, laggy, etc. Salesguy priced a CTS in my range, but since it had the same Cue system and basically the same car, I didnt bother.

Went to BMW and drove a 328i x - Loved it, really nice drive. Tech was ok, was a bit small. Well in price range. They had a 2013 CPO 5 series. Loved it, a lot as well. Wasnt crazy about the interior color though. Then they found a 2014 new 5 series minus leather (had the fake leather) and no rear camera for the same price. Liked it a lot, seemed that may be the winner.

Went to Audi - A3 was horribly small, didnt bother. A4 was better, drove the S4, crazy fast and sporty but small and really, Im not that into the speed and power as much as I want comfort and gadgets. They had a CPO 2012 A6 with 30K miles on it. Drove and loved it but wasnt happy about the miles and it being a 2012. Was about to get the BMW when he found a 2015 A6 in the lot. Drove it, loved it and took it home.

That's fantastic...
you sound like a car buying machine. Most of those places keep you 4 hours before giving you a solid number and your license back.
