Slow but very comfortable, very quiet, reliable, great re-sale. ---

Ever think about maybe one of the new Audi’s? I think those are some nice cars. I have never driven or even rode in one though. It meets your AWD specs and they are no slouch and come in manual. Might be worth a look-see. ---

Underpowered and overpriced. For the price of a nicely optioned IS250 I would rather have a TL Type S
