Agreed this is a 1st world problem and a nice problem to have.
But I had (still have) a really nice car on my drive. The car I wanted to own and a car that beats a 520D on all fronts. It should do considering it cost twice that of a 520D.
But now I am forced to sell that car at a big loss to myself
Yes there are benefits (and that's what I am trying to concentrate on) but there are disadvantages as well. There will now be situations where I can't do things that I could do in my A7 (trips to IKEA come to mind). I love my music. One advantage of driving big miles is that I get a chance to listen to great music on my Bose sound system. I am guessing the base system in the 5 is not of the same standard as the Bose system in the Audi which makes those 5 hour drives less enjoyable. I could go on
So at a different time, this would be fantastic but it's the fact I am being forced to "trade down" with no benefit to myself that makes me depressed
