Looks like Sunnyside Audi in Middleburg Heights. I have been buying from Sunnyside and Gary Buffington for 11 years now. I have purchased 5 A4's and I have been 100% pleased.
Enjoy the delivery experience, it is amazing.
You are in very good hands I know many of the technicians at Sunnyside and they have some of the best in the country. Both Rob and Noah have finish in the top 5 in the Audi Tech Challenge several times.
Be sure to say hi to all my friends at Sunnyside.

I am very glad to hear that SSA is such a great organization. I work with Adam and he has been wonderful. My brother bought from Gary and I would have too had I not known Adam first.
I am a huge Toyota fan and venturing out of that safety zone concerns me. Are you saying your cars have been very trouble free? I sure hope so. I wanted something a bit more special than a Solara convertible. I had three of those. I just got tired of them and the body structure was so flexible. I am looking forward to a solid car that's well engineered and feature laden.
I have to leave work to get my car and will pretty much do the basics and run. I'll go back for more instruction a couple days later. I've been to SSA several times sitting in the cars learning the controls. I've watched the videos and also messed around with a car that was on the lot where I work. I won't be totally lost.
Thanks for instilling confidence in me in this uncharted territory.

I would say basically trouble free. I live in Western PA so I need to travel about 80 miles each way but I choose to do that because of the quality of the dealership. My cars have all been A4's starting with a 1998
A4 2.8 q auto, 1999 A4 1.8T q manual, 2003 A4 3.0 CVT, 2006 A4 3.2 q auto and a 2009 A4 3.2 q auto. I presently own the last two and my 06 is brilliant red like your A5. Are you getting a 3.2 or 2.0T?
I have also had a few Toyota's but the Audi is very different. Don't get me wrong the Toyota's are great but the Audi are a lot more fun to drive.
I do not drive my 09 A4 in the snow / salt either. My 06 is a daily driver and it get's wash weekly and waxed monthly and still looks like the day I took delivery. I have order every one of my A4's did you order yours??
Good luck and fully enjoy your delivery expereince.

I ordered my car. The Cabriolets are so new and there was nothing sitting on anyone's lot that was what I wanted or close. It took nearly three months from when I made my decision.
It's a 2.0T. The Cabs come with different engines. I think it should have the six for the price but the four is very smooth and good on gas. It should be fine. I drove the S5 Cab which has a 3.0 Supercharged. It makes this annoying boom noise between shifts. I couldn't stand it. I would have liked the additional body trimmings and the awesome rims. The two tone interiors are really cool too but that noise was not satisfactory.
Thanks for your good wishes.
