Default Tell Me Why My Next Car Should Not Be The G35X

I am in a 2006 A4 Quattro, lease coming up in a few months. All in all, I liked the A4, but I haven't been floored. The engine is way too weak compared to all others in the same price range (and I'm a bit past the chipping stage of my life). Some maintenance problems here and there, including a total breakdown on jericho turnpike.

That being said, I have been looking at all the usual suspects in this price class, and have really fallen for the G35. So folks, convince me why I should stay with the A4.

Would I be able to negotiate a better deal if I stayed with Audi? Would I have any power to negotiate the residual if I wanted to buy the car at the end of the lease (a family member wants it)? Finally, does Audi offer a program where they'll end leases early if you get a new Audi?

Thanks for the anticipated input.

Good car for the money, I've heard they're fast. Bland interior/exterior styling.

Default If you like the G35X better than your A4 you should get the G35X next.

Honestly.

If you're spending 35-45k for a car you should be relly happy with it regardless of what anyone on the internet says.

As for your leasing questions, I'm not sure but I believe the answer is, generally, "No" to all of them.

Default Go ahead and get a G35X if you like it. You should be happy with your choice,

forget about what others say.
