The car has good power once it's moving.  I think it's worst right off the
line as its revving up to 3000.  While it is a really good car around town
and on the twisties, the A4Q truly comes into its own at highway speeds.  I
find it can be downright boring at legal speeds and feels as comfortable at
90-95 as it does at 75.  I have a daily drive on a range of roads, from side
streets to a divided, yet clogged highway with a lot of lights and finally
onto a major highway and the last peice is definitely the most fun!
