Be prepared to spend $$$ on maintenance
It's great when it everything is in running order. I bought the car new and have since run it to 188k miles. At 115k, the engine died on me. Something came loose that ruined one of the cylinders. Fortunately, I have a friend who's a mechanic that was able to procure me a used engine with 60k on it. After that, the bushings had to be replaced and then the fuel pump. I love my car and still have it, but I don't think I'll buy Audi again. Too much money for maintenance and gas.
Amazing for the buck

500 miles so far..
.. and I LOVE it. I was going to get the TSX, until I drove the quattro. I'm about halfway through the break-in period, so I'm still trying to treat it gently. But it's so hard to restrain myself. I do not find the car to be at all underpowered (having most of the torque at 1950+ rpm helps). The ride is firm on the highway, but not punishing around town. It's super quiet. And the fit-and-finish inside and out is incredible, even in the trunk. Now I'm crossing my fingers my first Audi will be a reliable one.
