Good thought, I generally like Audis, next to Porsche my first choice. My favorite was a 2011 A6 S-line, replaced it with a 2016 A6 and didn't gel with it. I'm selling my X3 and the Cayman so I can...

This is all helping, thanks for the comments and feedback. I think I'll focus on the GTS and take the Turbo off the table even though the Turbos seem to be on a par price-wise. Now just need to be...

Interesting info, I'm on the fence between a '17 or '18 GTS and a Turbo. The Turbo seem to be a slightly softer focus and 10mm higher ride height than a GTS, but based on what you're saying if the...

Good feedback, thank you. I do like the X3, and for general errands and transportation it's excellent, just not an involving drive. Part of the equation here is that I'm also going to sell my...
