Poor front seats, too much road noise
There is much to praise about this car. Few cars at any price can match the elegance of its interior design. The 6-speed is snick-snick smooth. But this car is much better suited for short urban trips than long-distance highway cuising. Front seats are far too hard and not very supportive unless you're smaller than average. Road noise is intrusive, especially on rough road surfaces. HVAC is drafty unless regulated manually.
Quattro is great but be careful
If you live somewhere where it rains or snows frequently (i.e. the Northeast) definitely look at this car. Don't waste your time with the 1.8T engine. I know I said be careful but I would buy another one in a second (my wife drives an A6). I have had some problems with climate control and had a major gas leak!! Audi's warranty and service has taken care of it no problem though. Highly recommended to people who like to drive but want good German performance. Warranty is excellent too.

1st Ultra Sport in the country
I got my car on the 1st of nov. and have been loving it ever since! the ultra sport option is great! the wheels, interior, bodywork, all totally worth it! my previous car was a 1.8T jetta, and I don't miss the extra 10hp, as the quattro is well worth it. the handling is better than all the others that I drove 325/330, c230K, G35,and9/3 saab. plus it has the best interior design, and the quality far superior to the rest! BMWhat? I won't ever buy anything else.
A$ Conv 1.8T
Could improve low end torque
Audi Does it right!
This is a kickass fun car to drive -the quattro is fantastic and the 1.8 turbo is peppy enough. Overall ride is racing tight but still comfortable for everday driving. The styling is "classy edge"- not beemer commom and not lexus staid- just CLEAN. Interior is clean, not overdone but stylish with great touches -like the storage bins under the seat. But get the sports package and the manual for true fun.
