    I wish I had the wood upgrade like your grained finish. My launch control is stomp on the pedal, works every time. This is an old man's car, not a toy to be modded to death. Keep it classy.

    If you get a Stage 1 tune from IE or APR, it has true launch control. The launch you're referring to is a trans brake, and it disables to protect your transmission.

    You can code in apple carplay and android auto. I know audi says it can’t on 2016 models but I did it in mine and it works so just check some guy who can do it for you and it’ll work.
    Also it’s a comfortable luxury long cruiser kind of a car. It’s not really a car that you modify (certainly not one where you remove the seats because the car is too heavy). You should’ve gotten something different that suited your needs better in my opinion.

    I appreciate this review! Many of the things that bug you wouldn’t bug someone who is looking to use it as a daily non-race build.
    From your opinions on the weight, and aesthetics, seems there were much better cars for you to personally buy. I wouldn’t ever look into heavy class luxury cars for the needs you need. Definitely many other lighter options you should’ve went with.
    As for someone like me, this would be an awesome daily driver for typical driving.
