Newbie from KL

[kenfoo2]

Hello everyone!Newbie from KL here...I have been dreaming of Audi A4 2.0TFSI since 1 year+ ago until the new 5 series came out... then I had a new dream Wasted soooooo much productivity by watching videos of the A4 & new 5 series & browsing mudah.my, star-motoring.com, carlist.my *every single day* since 1 year+ ago until I couldn't take it any longer. Oh the agony~~So I went ahead and booked a 520d yesterday after weeks and weeks of "yes-no-yes-no" deliberation in my head.Pretty much a nerve wrecking experience for me as I've never bought a luxury/expensive car before.Also tested the Merc C class & E class - both are nowhere near in terms of handling/performance to the BMW. (C200 was pretty good. E250 CGI was surprisingly sluggish and left me felt wanting more). Never tested the Audi A4 though. Salesman weren't that friendly.Cya!

Welcome, you sure made a right choice!

Great choice and welcome to the club! Do look forward to seeing your 520d at the next TT sessions!

Executive Premium Car Combined (Merc got this also but also got uncle image still, and new E class got Hyundai Sonata lights behind!-yucks!-very Korean look behind, wat happened, Merc Design Dept!???!) With Sporty Driving and Handling equals a F10 520d. You did very well choosing the 520d after extensive researching, Ken!

 

[docrayboy]

Hey Ken, what's the waiting time now for a 520d?

 

[kenfoo2]

Mine is coming in Sept.

There is stock in Sep/Oct, depending on the colour.
I chose sophisto+cinnamon.

Some other colours probably Nov/Dec depending on the production run.

I also tested the 323i and a brand new virgin 320d sport with onli 19km mileage on it

323i lacked the punch at low revs, but quite smooth at higher revs.

The 320d sport was pretty raw with nice interior. I like the black inner roof.
Pickup crazy like hell & a little too "stressful" for me. I think I'm getting old.

They've got pretty good packages for a new 320d sport though. 260k with latest iDrive, before a 4% discount summore.
