2008 Audi A4 2.0T quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
Review
Purchased this as a cert pre owned for a great price. Had only 10000 miles on it and jumped on it. Very enjoyable to drive and love the comfort of the seats. Was looking at G35 also but for the money the Audi I thought was a better car.
Favorite Features
The seats and the ease of the controls.
Suggested Improvements
Can't think of any right now. People have mentioned the lag but I don't notice it at all.
Fun and Classy

2008 Audi A4 2.0T Special Ed. quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
Review
This is my first Audi. I was driving a 6 cyl. VW Passat before this and had never owned a 4 cyl. car, so I was a little nervous about getting the 2.0T. I am pleasantly surprised with this motor. Although there is a little lag pulling out into traffic now and then, I can't complain. Fit and finish are superb and I love the way it looks. I leased in July 2008, so I can't wait to see what 2011 has to offer.
Favorite Features
Seats feel good/supportive. I love the heated seats option. The interior is clean looking and is made with high quality materials. Bluetooth is a nice feature. I swore I wouldn't get black after having 2 other black cars, but I couldn't help it. To me, it looks the best on this car.
Suggested Improvements
Find a cure for the lag. Other then that, I'm happy.....

2008 Audi A4 3.2 Avant quattro 4dr Wagon AWD (3.1L 6cyl 6A)
Review
I have had several Audi's over the past 15 years as well as several Jeeps. This latest purchase with the 3.2 is outstanding. Power, all weather ability with utility and sport car manors. This package does it all. The MMI is great. Did a three hundred mile loop from New York to Boston and got 29 mpg. Got it with the Audi Certified program so great deal with new car warranty. Very, very happy.
Favorite Features
Quattro, 3.2 engine and handling
Suggested Improvements
Make just a little larger. Additional aux. input for i-pod. Maybe a bumper trim plate under rear hatch to prevent scratching. That's it.

2008 Audi A4 2.0T 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
Review
I leased this A4 last May and it continues to get better. This is my first Audi and it will not be my last. I have had a great experience with Momentum Audi in Houston and have had no troubles with the vehicle at all. I'm getting amazing gas mileage, up to 26 in city and usually 32/33 on highway.
Favorite Features
I'm having fun with the shifters mounted on the steering wheel and the bluetooth phone setup is very convenient and easy to operate. The trunk space is fantastic and headroom just right for my frame.
Suggested Improvements
My only complaint is an echo of others... there is no back seat room with two passengers in the front. I have no problem getting my child in and out of the carseat, but there isn't room for much else.

2008 Audi A4 2.0T 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
Review
Purchased w/8000 miles. Went from 2001 Maxima. Car is great. No complaints. Very cozy and quick. So much electronics that I get lost in the car (a good thing). Gas mileage is terrific, about 23 overall. Got 36 on a 400 mile highway trip. Wheels are a little hard to keep clean of brake dust. Never drove a car so perfect.
Favorite Features
Bluetooth phone/radio options, auto fold-in side view mirrors, brakes stop on a dime, head turning looks on the highway, gas mileage for this powerful a car.
Suggested Improvements
All the indicators are red which are a little hard on the eyes at night, engine slightly rough at very low speed, can't think of anything else.

This is a great car to drive, highway drive is very good on gas. The car has great pickup going in to traffic. I would buy another the car handles well.
Favorite Features
Great handling and great on gas.
Suggested Improvements
Shorten the arm rest between the drivers set.
Love It

Review
I bought this car about 5 months ago and it's awesome! The only things I don't like about it are the cup holders under the arm rest and the slight lag out the gate. The lag is random. It's weird, but it depends on the day. The engine is definitely affected by extreme temperatures.
Favorite Features
Tiptronic, Bluetooth, ipod deck
Suggested Improvements
They changed the cup holders on the 09.

2008 Audi A4 3.2 quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (3.1L 6cyl 6M)
Review
We looked high and low to find an A4 equipped with the 3.2 six and the manual gearbox. We decided to factory order one and discovered that production had already halted to make room for the '09 (B8) model. That one wasn't available with the six-speed manual so it looked like the less intersting 328Xi was going to get the nod when the dealer found a car equipped like we wanted (basicly, equipped with everything) in Riverside California. I was going to be there on business, and I arrainged to pick the car up there and my wife (it's her car) drove it back to Tulsa. She and I love the car. From the GPS nav to the smooth shifting six- speed, it's a sedan that puts a smile on your face.
Favorite Features
The interior, the full-size spare in the trunk, the butter smooth gearbox, the MMC sound and nav system. Ours is a black on black S-Line with the Titanium package. The car runs great, looks great and attracts a crowd wherever it stops. Not bad at all for last year's model.
Suggested Improvements
I'd put touch screen controls on the nav-radio interface and make the selection process more logical and user friendly. Every thing else is fine with us. Some would like more power but, 250 plus normally aspirated ponies does the job just fine for most folks. Like it better than the B8 myself.

2008 Audi A4 2.0T quattro 2dr Convertible AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
Review
This car looks great and drives even better. It has comfortable seats and the engine runs very smoothly. The A4 convertible is a cross between a sports car and a luxury car and it clearly has good features of both. While there is always room for improvement, I am very pleased with how it handles and the multitude of features.
Favorite Features
Overall interior and exterior design is very sleek. Has many extra features that other convertible sport cars do not have, especially the AWD system which will come in handy in the winter.
Suggested Improvements
Make the convertible button a one-push system and place it on the center console. Make the opening to the iPOD interface larger for easier accessibility and make a playlist available. Better city fuel mpg.

2008 Audi A4 2.0T quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
Review
My 2008 Audi A4 Quattro burns oil at a rate of 1 quart per 1000 miles. The oil level warning came on at 6000, 10000 and 14000 miles. Each time I had it checked at the dealer where it was purchased and was told each time that no leaks were found and that it was operating normally. They also measured the aforementioned burn off rate according Audi guidelines and informed me that it was "well within Audi specifications and no action is required." These engines are problematic and Audi knows it.
Favorite Features
All wheel drive
Suggested Improvements
Remedy oil consumption problem
