No, it's not fast like the S4 (nor the A6). If I remember right, the 0-60
times for the 6-speed were in the low 7s, and with the Tip, close to 8.
Compare this to 5.5 for the S4, and 6.0 for the A6 (both 6-speed), and it'll
feel sluggish for sure.

If you want to keep the power, wait for an S4 or S6 Avant, I say. The ride
height is a great feature, especially if you live somewhere with a
propensity for dumping snow, but otherwise, it's just a gimmick. People
aren't going to take a $45k car off road. :)

Best regards,
Brad
