tricked out A4
I love my A4 to death, but I'd never recommend one. Simply too many small problems; the vac lines went (I replaced them myself), a bent hose "shredded itself," the ignition coils went out and were replaced by the dealership - but only one by one, even though they had a design flaw. In the mean time I had to have the car towed twice and drove it on three cylinders once - not fun. If you're into cars and don't mind repairing them yourself, go for it. I have mine completely tricked out with a stage 3 turbo upgrade (~280 hp/300 ft- lbs; 310+ hp with race gas, for which I also have an additional program), upgraded coilover suspension, A8 brakes, swaybar, etc.
bet your life on it
Let me start by saying that I was in a head-on collision just 2 weeks ago and my 2001 A4 performed just as it should have, safely. It is an incredibly solid and safe automobile. All the minor complaints (lame cupholder and small back-seat) I once had about the car have receded into the past. To be able to walk away from a bad accident is the best testament anyone can give for a car.

Unreliable Disaster
Read the reliability reports. Everything in there and more has gone wrong with my Audi. The sludge problems w/ the 1.8T, in my opinion, are the engineering equivalent of a surgeon leaving a scalpel inside you.
Audi A4 Turbo Sedan
Fun to drive. Great handling in tight turns and high speeds, great mileage, interior is very well styled and audio system is good. Beautiful exterior design, and center panel is awesome, glows red when lights are turned on.
Disappointing
The car breaks down, the dealers can't figure out how to fix them, and Audi can't supply the parts. In addition, the resale value drops like a stone after purchase. Don't do it.
