Well i dont think that i have ever heard of vandalism or robbing of a euro car down hear. Something about european cars here that people really respect. there are hundreds of A4, E90, VW's E-class's C-class's and Range Rovers down here. We've even got 3 Bentley continentals, 2 Roll Royce, 2 Ferrari and Lambo which is rumoured to be found late at night. Seeing cars like that are novelties down hear. I think the crime rates is a bit overated. I was bad a few years ago but its leveld now. The problem is, Trinidad just has a lot of stupid people

These "My dad is getting some super car" threads are pretty boring and pointless. Sorry.

Thought about an s5 before I got my e92. Audi couldnt match BMW's 1% financing or discounts off of msrp. The Audi is way sexier then the e92 but I still wouldnt trade.

OT: Kiemyster. I wanna come visit you in TT. You need to hook me up!

The A5 is alot smaller in the back than the E92 FYI. And yeah I KNOW how coz my friend has a A5 3.0 TDi and i'ts one small cabin.

In the E92 however we sat 4 people with luggage for 4 from Sweden through Europe in one week with no problems whatsoever...

This thread started as talking about the First A5 in Trinidad. I went to check it when i heard it arrived and decided to share. ( I believe it was the first in the region at the time as well) Forum member, kiemyster, is a close friend of mine so he knows my situation. All i said is that we (my dad & I) are interested. So its not one of those "My dad is getting some super car" threads. It just happened because it was summer and he was out of the country and it was a good way to communicate about a topic like this.

Because it is so rare ... means that people in the market for a coupe either pick the 335 or M3... hard truth.. the S5 is a looker, but I find it too bland... the interior and the LEDs are nice, I will admit... but thats as far as I will go
