The Autobahn is sweet, pity this is my ride:
Seat Exeo 2.0 TDI. Basically the last-gen Audi A4 but built in Spain and with a few extra toys. AMA. Does 235 kph (145ish mph).
Only ever driven in Australia so left hand drive was interesting. Only ended up in oncoming once so far.

What's your overall opinion of the Exeo? I kind of like them.

Ah it's not bad. Not much more to be said.
Feels solid, handles relatively well for a fwd mid-sizer. Quite comfortable but a bit small for my liking. Good technology and driving feel. Engine pulls well to 100kmh or so then feels lacklustre, like most diesels. The 7 speed auto isn't bad, and it has paddle shifters which is quite funny considering the vehicle.
At the end of the day you're getting a brand new old Audi for 22k Euro, so not bad considering what most of the people here drive (I didn't know cars or engines came this small).
Full oppositelock review available on request.

look out, coming from australia to the usa, and back and forth, the only place I ever mess up the side of the road is in parking lots. the number of times I've angrily yelled at someone... then realized I'm the moron.

Sounds like a reasonable enough car. It'd be the most expensive, fastest, most luxurious car on the street where I live. The most expensive car where I live is a 1.2 2013 Fiesta.

Shit. That's far removed from where I come from. Both myself and my room at have full sized luxury ish sedans, mine has a v6 and his an 8.
I've already had more than 1.2 litres of beer tonight...
Where are you from?

England. There are some slightly bigger cars on the street but they're all fairly old. Our 1.9 diesel Laguna is probably the largest car, we paid £1'000 for it.
