Exceeds my expectations !
I have found few negatives in the 1.8T Avant. It has great room, yet it is amazing for traction and handling. Mileage has also exceeded the stated EPA numbers. There are no quality or workmanship concerns. It's leather interior is first class and so far it is without rattles or squeaks. The 1.8T engine is surprisingly smooth and quick. It has a distinct engine/exhaust noise that enhances it's "sports sedan" classification.
Bye Bye BMW
Expired lease on BMW X5 4.4 had me longing for a small sports car with better (although not great) mileage. Since I don't often carry passengers the A4 seemed perfect. I am in love already after 1 week. 6 speed manual, great on curves, and easy on the eyes. Everything just right, and the dealer and salesman were just about the best I've ever deal with. Quoted their costs (correctly) and honored web prices.

Pretty, but not worth it
I bought this car used with 50,000 miles. I loved it for the first couple of months, until things started going wrong. I had to replace all the ignition coils, fuel pump, check valves, broken moonroof, broken window regulator, broken cupholder. Oh yea, and just a few months ago there was a fire, cost over $5000 worth of damage under the hood, thank goodness insurance covered it. They said either an ignition coil or the wiring harness had a malfunction. When my coolant tank cracked and wouldn't hold coolant, I decided it was time to trade it in. I loved the car, but I cant afford to keep fixing it and I don't want to be worried all the time about something breaking or catching on fire.
awesome
A4 deserves all the accolades, smooth drive, well built

Great Car! If you like performance drivin, do not expect the Gas mileage posted. Also I find my back a little after extended driving time. And what did audi think by offering ONLY manual seats. The sports Package with the 17in wheels is a must at only $1000
