I can respect that for feel. It's too bad with today's AWD systems that the actual performace numbers don't reflect the actual "feel".

I'm getting my A5 in May, once it arrives I think my 335i might start to collect dust.

Also i love how the instrument cluster has the color screen in the center opposed to bmw's orange standard screen, much nicer touch. The screen in the cluster offers 3D like guidance when the nav is active, very cool.

I am not convinced by the way it drives but its creature comforts blow my E92 away. I would never consider an A5 or S5 over my M3 but i certainly would buy an A5 over a E92 328 or 335.

It has the worst design for a gear selector. When the car is in park, you cannot operate the air conditioning, defroster or anything. It blocks you from reaching any of those controls. I had to put the car in drive to read the display, then back in park, annoyed the shit out of me. I had it as a loaner when the R8 was getting serviced. I thought the design was blah.

That never became an issue for me when I had mine, but I had a stick, so that might be why...
