 need a family car.thought about s4 but thought the avant was more practical.did not want a suv - simply more weight and a higher center of gravity leads to a dull driving exp.Any audi you but you must get the sports package and quattro otherwise you might as well buy something else.The car i got is loaded - prestige- b & o radio makes a big difference, side assist, etc.The steering is a little light but the handling is very good overall.the engine is more than adequate.i was concerned about this - previous car i had delivered 330 hp.i notice the difference but the overall package of the audi is excellent.This is what you get when you buy an audi - great overall package
