Hi all,
I can't call myself a member yet... but I am getting really close to it and appreciate all the valuable info in this forum.
I am about to make a decision on my next car, I have been driving a 2009 TSX and that lease is up now. I was thinking of going with a BWM 328 Xdrive or an Audi A4. A few family members and close friends have the 328 and hey have nothing bad to say about it, I have also driven it many times and have nothing bad to say about the drive, look, feel, performance etc. except that the interior is nothing crazy and every other car (exaggeration) seems to be a 328 these days.
I was asked to test-drive a 2014 q50 2 weeks ago by a sales guy and I must say it was awesome, inside and out. I loved the interior as I am in to a lot of gadgets and gizmos and just enjoyed the quality of the interior. The car looks great on the outside too so I spent a lot of time researching online reviews etc. it got goo feedback except for the InTouch... now as everyday users of the car how does that impact you? Many people were saying the guide lines when on reverse don't kick-in until the computer is fully booted up (I didn't have a reverse camera on the Acura so I don't think I would care about the lines). Also they said the computer takes over a minute to boot-up, while I can see this can be frustrating I think I can live with it as I understand the boot-up process and don't expect it to work 2 seconds after I'm in the car.
So I just wanted to hear real-life experiences with the car. The good and the bad and what you suggest I should do. I am also entertaining the idea of 2015, has much changed in that regard? Or am I still stuck with the same performance from the InTouch.
Thanks!
