Finally got a chance to test drive the i4 tech this week ( I have test drove v6 tech before) and I like it
The i4 definitely feels like an i4 but it is very fast when push hard. Under Normal driving, it feels refined/smooth but nothing special--and it's not bad thing for daily commute
The 8 speed dct is very fast but the gears are very close so I have to down shift at least 2-3 gears to get some power out of the car. Probably because I have a v6 with 5 speed and each gear is much farther apart on my TL compare to the a TLX
I was semi underwhelming with the power on the i4 (but I have always own a v6) until the salesman said push it hard. I did and I gotta say the engine does well when push hard(aggressive driving)
I did not experience any jerkiness or noise of anything. The drive was very brief without traffic.
Still hate the i4 wheels and love the v6 wheels. Before test drive the i4, the magazine got me thinking of buying a i4 but now after test driving the i4, the v6 will definitely be reconsider. I will test drive them back to back to see
Everything else is much better than my 04 TL with the exception of the rear end , I still like the expose tail pipe :) on my 04
