if the car was flooded, it would have shown on the title. The title was 100% clean. No, the car was not flooded.

wow, everybody on this site has such low standards. Another thing that pisses me off about this car is the engine torque and the sloppy power delivery. It is extremely difficult to make this car accelerate smoothly because the torque is all over the place. I hate the pull out into 60 mph traffic because any sort of aggression with the throttle will result in such a nasty reaction. The car will be lurching all over the place as the 5AT is working through its gears and the high end torque randomly launches the car foreword at the most unexpected times. Like wtf, it shouldn't be like this.

also since when did I say this was a troll post. All I am doing is expressing my concerns with a car. In my opinion, what was originally a $40k car should not be like this. Hey, MAYBE I'M WRONG. Idk.

As far as low standards go, I'm sure no one on this site has that (at least I don't think so) and as for the performance of these cars. I've owned an AT and now I own a 6mt. From my experience both cars handle extremely well. Their performance is on par with cars that cost much more. Yes the V6 has a good amount of torque But me....I Love it. I don't know what might be plaguing the model you purchased but when ever I want to step out on the highway and use some power to get around a car mine does it with no problem whether it was the AT or the 6mt. Maybe you should have your car looked over thoroughly by a well qualified mechanic and not just a friend ( sometimes friends can be bias) another thing you might want to do is get to know your car. Instead of bashing it and all of us who have cars that aren't experiencing what you're experiencing.

More importantly, if you miss your Audi that much purchase another one. In the grand scheme of things the only person you can blame for your misfortune is you. No one here forced you to make your purchase that was your choice and your choice alone. Me, I happen to love my "G" and I've had the pleasure of driving everything from a Ferrari to a Nissan Sentra and while my "G" isn't a Ferrari it certainly isn't a Sentra.

Since you didn't take the time to learn the history of your car before you bought it, now would be a good time considering all the problems you're having. Peace and Blessings Brooks out and good luck to you.

Since you got the car for a bargain of a deal. Just sell it for the same price or even flip a profit. And get yourself something more suitable for you, I'm just gonna leave it at that

Looked at a Q-50 and Q-60 yesterday and was quite impressed.

I can't believe that you and I are driving the same car. Your description is SO far off of my experience, it's like comparing a Ferrari to a Fiat. The only performance complaint I have is the awkward 1-2 shift and I have learned to compensate for that over the years. My power delivery is smooth and linear. What I love is that I rarely have to change gears to pass someone. Unlike my Honda Si which would perform well, but you had to do a lot of gear changing to get the same results.

May I suggest that you find someone with a car like yours and drive it to see if it's your CAR or YOU.

Texas scout are you talking about the newly designed Q60 or a re badged G37S.

Not really, most are just aware of what they purchased.

Hey Tex, that's not the new Q60. That's the G37S re badged as a Q60, the newly redesigned model isn't out yet.

Ah! I thought it looked familiar, I have not paid any attention to the second gen cars, I think the design it too blah and generic. It was a nice car, but it didn't do anything for me.

Sorry to hear your dislike of your X.the a4 is a smaller car. I had a a6 quattro loved it! But audi's when they hit 10 years old maintenance is high! At 100,000 miles timing belt needs to be replaced.Very costly. I like Audi's and system better than infiniti's
