I ended up not getting that A4 that I posted earlier. After driving the TL, I decided I had to have it.

Since this car is more important to be comfortable and nice than sporty, I went with the TL. It's so loaded up with goodies including bluetooth, DVD Audio, satellite, xenon, etc.
It drives very very nice. It's more of a luxury ride though. The Audi feels more sporty.

The TL is much more comfortable for rear passengers as well as front passengers if you're going on any kind of longer drive.

I started out down the used Audi path to take advantage of their horrible depreciation, but in the end, just decided it was worth a few thousand more to get a new, and nicer (IMO) TL.

Nice buy. I have yet to drive one but a buddy of mine just picked one up and is raving about it. Good luck.

It has a great stereo for a stock system with 5.1 surround, etc. I love this car!!!

The golf cart has been modded to move up to 21 mph! It's original top speed was 15 mph. A 33% gain in top speed... not bad. Think I can get that on my Turbo?

I bought the automatic. My wife can't drive a manual and for a daily, this was a must-have.

As for wheels, I'm staying stock. As for tires, I'll be replacing this SUCKY Bridgestones that are on there now. They are horrible. All the TL community *****es about them. They flat spot so easily and don't handle for jack.

Much better choice than the A4, in my opinion.

This coming from a guy who is SERIOUSLY considering the A8L as a replacement for my E500...
