Mid Life Crisis
I drive frequently back and forth to a remote office, a four hundred round mile trip. 100 miles is secondary, the rest is highway. I have enjoyed the car immensely. I am 6-1 and have plenty of legroom. The manual transmission is silky smooth and the handling superb. I have averaged 22 mpg over 52k miles with 93 octane. I enjoy the manual shift acceleration. I am sure I could squeak out a couple of more mpg if I took it a little easier. I put snow tires on and have had no problems traveling in a few pretty good snow storms. Only mechanical problem was a bad A/C compressor at 20k. Definitely the funnest car I have owned.

A never ending clunker.
I previously owned an 04 Audi A4 Quattro 3.0L V6 in 6 speed manual transmission. It drove pretty good and the performance wasn’t so bad. What WAS bad were the electrical issues I would have throughout the time owning the vehicle such as the rear passenger window not rolling down when using the main switch on the driver’s side so I had to always reach over to press the switch in the door. Some of the different switches in the cabin would deteriorate so it would be hard to know what you’re exactly activating. This engine did eat up a good amount of oil so beware of that. I have owned this car for three years and sold it when it had roughly 82k miles. My mechanic said that the timing belt needed to be changed and would’ve been a $2,000 job so I’m glad I got rid of the vehicle. It’s a fun little car to drive but not worth the headache in the end, trust me.

Not too bad
I've had this car for over 3 years now. Had to get the windshield replaced in the first week: it had a defect that made everything look "wobbly." The fuel pump gave out at 1.5 years/30K miles, stranding me at 5 am (very frustrating!). I have since witnessed about 4 other identical models stranded in parking lots or on the freeway. Since the fuel pump, the car has not given me any problems, aside from strange electrical issues such as the mirrors rotating out of memorized position.
Great used luxury sport vehicle
We were looking for a sports sedan but not neccessarily the Audi, but when we saw the car it immediately caught our attention. We really liked the exterior line and the interior finishes. After the test drive we were hooked, but concerned about the reliablity of the Audi brand. Our fears were relieved when we researched the car. After a second test drive we bought the car and have no regrets. The car handles extremely well on the back roads. We have had no troubles with the car which is approaching 67,000 miles. Our only beef is the car feels cramped when our two elementary age kids are with us. The car performed and handle extremely well on a recent mtn. trip.
