Hi,
Hi,
Finally got to test drive the V6 fwd and the i4 and we are seriously considering the i4-- we are waiting for the V6 sh-awd to arrive so we can test drive that one also. Unfortunately the dealer we went to has a very specific test drive route ( a 50mph highway and a back road that is fairly straight with small hills) so it was a little difficult to ascertain what it will really be like to enter a parkway or if it strains going uphill. I have to agree that both cars are very quiet and the i4 accelerates so smoothly, I get the sense that you wouldn't have to floor it to get up to speed on the parkway or to take on hills--I hope that is true. It seems to be very light on its feet so to speak. The car is as comfortable as can be and is much better looking than in photos. Re technology, I don't mind the two screens, and while the system isn't particularly intuitive, it has tons of features and the sound system is flat out awesome! The graphics may not be as nice as some other systems, but this one just sounds better than others I've heard. I will probably not have a problem making a decision as to which model I prefer (either way, the tech package is a must have), but choosing the color will be a different story! (Probably the blue if it looks good in the daylight). Thanks for all of your input, it has been helpful.
