Saw advert for new A5 face lift makes it look even more sexy shame there horrible to drive had test drive in old shape before i bought bimmer, Quattro version felt like steering a sofa all looks and no go 3 series coupe drove rings round it pity truly stunning car 2 look at thou :thumbup: :eusa-think: :thumbdown: :?:
Part of the reason for the perceived poor steering is due to the electric power steering rack, not ideal but if you want to benefit from other driver aids such as lane assist etc then they had to go down this route. Another reason was to help reduce the C02 rating as the hydraulic equivalent system was much heavier.
I like the 3 series coupe as well, however I think there are too many on the roads, unlike the RCZ :dance: , perhaps all the free advertising that BMW cars get on the news during the winter months explains the extra sales, I lost track of how many rear wheel drive BMWs I saw slipping and a sliding in the snow and ice. Winter is certainly a good time of year to have a quattro equipped car :beer:
