After driving a Toyota Supra for years, I bought the Audi 3.0 quattro convertible and haven't regretted it at all . While not the sports car the Supra is, the Audi handles great and adds a luxurious interior to boot. From the inside you can hardly tell it's a convertible--quiet and no shakes even at high speeds. On the highway, the car practically drives itself. The seats adjust a thousand ways so anyone can be comfortable. I love the way the passenger side mirror tilts down so you can see the curb when backing up. With the top down & the wind deflector up, the joys of convertible ownership are impeccable, and snow is no object either with the quattro. A great all-season vehicle.

I purchased my Audi A4 2.0T fully loaded back in June of 2005, the car is stunning, the engine, even though it is the base engine, is beautiful to drive in sport mode, the interior materials are the best I have seen compared to friends who have BMWs and Mercedes C classes, gas is a bit costly if you drive fast and long trips like i do but well worth it, the sound system is also the best within the other german sedans, this car is definitely worth its price.

We've had this car for about a year now and it's growing on me. I wasn't crazy about the car at first because the gas mileage was so terrible for a 4 cylinder. The car is very solid and I feel very safe in it. The AWD is awesome. It's my first car with AWD and I don't think I'll ever go back. This car is amazing at high speeds, in the snow, rain, etc. Handles like it's on rails, doesn't sway, very stable, no rattles, etc. It handles better than my C5 Vette. 4 cyl, turbo is ample. Has more pick me up in the sport mode on the shifter. We just test drove a new 06 Lexus ES250 AWD and the Audi drives and handles better. It made me appreciate the Audi more.

I bought this car with the premium package and 17" wheels. The car drives like it is on rails. I also have the cold weather package it makes life a lot happier on long drives and cold days.The quality of this car is better than any car I have ever owned and I have owned my fare share of them. Do not be scared off by the bad reviews this car is well built, like I said I have owned many cars and some of them had many problems too. The power of the 1.8t is fun enough to get you into trouble with the police but the bottom end could use more oomph. Over all a very well made fun to drive car.

Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

I am a 6-month owner of the 2005.5 A4 2.0T, and this car is a wolf in sheep's clothing. The only complaint about this car is the low level of torque under 2K RPMs ... after that, watch out!! The ride is like silk at 80MPH. The paint job is one of the best I have ever seen. The attention to building detail makes my former Volvo look embarassing. You notice the small things on detail over time (like the hangers in the trunk for groceries packed in plastic bags and the A4 manual compartment under the steering wheel, to keep you glove box empty and ready for anything you want. Finally, I just began to really use the triptonic manual shift and it is a hoot! You are in complete control of the car!
