    Wife has one and I drive it a good bit. For the money, we liked it much more than the Q8. 40k miles and holding up better than my s4.
    Very accurate review though. It’s a dinosaur but I like that’s it’s not super common and reasonably fun to drive for a boat. Worth noting that these sell new for 15-20% off instantly. Inflated MSRP is my biggest gripe.

    • @superset5

    Driving experience is so under talked about. A 100 horsepower Miata can be 100x more fun than a 300 horsepower Camry. People focus too much on numbers and judge cars without even driving them. Also a slow 0-60 time does not mean the car cant be fun!
