Even the RS5 didn't have a lot of emotion to it, the tranny was a ZF but as my complaint with the F90 M5 is the same, ZF8 tranny is boring.
Good to know though  |
Honestly, if I was looking for another daily driver, I'd get another Audi because it does the mix between comfort and sport the best in my opinion. I want a sportier ride though.

The connectivity through the MyAudi app has gotten a little better now that vehicle status and a few other options are free now. Agreed that it was worthless before, especially with the older, buggy app.
I'm convinced that the voice recognition is no better than it was in my 2007 Lexus. I agree that it sucks and offers less integration with the car's systems than other brands. I haven't tried voice with the newer MMI versions (in the A6 and others now, coming in 2020 to the A4 line), but they claim that it's improved.

It should be interesting to see how the A5 line refresh. I uninstalled the MyAudi app, but maybe I should give it another shot?
