Member875
Handling
The AWD drive version is very safe and secure in all types of weather situations
Safety & braking
ABS 4 wheel discs with stability control makes for a very smooth stopping car
Front seat support & comfort
Firm, but not hard, adj lumbar, good wearing materials
Materials & workmanship
Everything fits well, no gaps ot jagged edges, has a good feel to it
Brand reputation & image
Excellent German car, cheaper than the others, but still drive comparable
Cargo capacity
Limited with the Turbo, fuel mileage takes a hit even with the lightest trailer.
Audio & nav systems
ine is made by GM and it is crap, nuff said
Price or payments
Price a little on the high side becasue dealer does not compete in the Canadian market, it was sort of buy it or leave it. No incentaives like the US.
Dealer practices
You would think they would have a bit of class, but the dealer I had to deal with used every dirty trick in the book to squeeze more money out of me from over charging list by $2000 to constant math errors, and I was paying cash. I will not ever go back.
