Hey now, just because you live in downtown Manhattan doesn't mean you
don't need a fast car.  I live in Manhattan (UWS for now, downtown
eventually) and my A4 is quite content.  Plus it's great fun to blow past
taxis.  Though when I get an S4 (non-Ur), I will be able to blow by them
much more quickly.  :)
Actually, once you get out of NYC, there are quite a few roads that can
challenge any car.  I'm probably quite a bit closer to any number of great
driving roads then I was living in St. Louis or Jacksonville FL or
Memphis.

city-dwellers need fast cars too
