      It goes great, but the braking leaves something to be desired.

    In former times even the future was better.

        Perfect for winter. Does the traction control still work?

    The new Audi’s are good looking cars, so much so that I decided to temporarily suspend my preconceptions and do the math on an A5 sportback as a possibility for Mrs. Neight’s next ride, her favorable exposure to them in certain social circles having a magnetic pull. I’m not completely immune to their charms either.

    I used the published lease rates for Audi’s own estimate of depreciation and promptly returned to my reflexive scoffing at all things Deutsche. Must be one hell of an ownership experience to part with ~$8k more than whatever you might experience in a similarly priced (which if we’re honest is likely the larger absurdity here) Jeep Wrangler. She won’t abide a Kia, being hopelessly consumed by the stigma of the brand’s cheap shitbox past, else I’d get her a Stinger. She naturally has no issue with Audi’s expensive shitbox past.
