I bought my A4 after test driving the BMW 3 series and Lexus IS. Of the three of them, I settled on the Audi because it had better handling than the Lexus and better styling than the BMW. I have never regretted it. Although it's a gas hog (it's thirsty), it is a total blast to drive. The acceleration is smooth and quick for a 4 cyl. and it hugs every single curve on the road. I'm not thrilled with the red lit interior, but it feels more luxurious than the BMW by far. I haven't had anything go wrong with it in the 4 months I have owned it (and driven it HEAVILY). Bottom line is that its a great car all around - not just for the price.

Very reliable in little snow fall. Handles well in small spaces and on turns. Looks very nice!

Have had the car for 4 weeks - considered BMW325X, Infinity G35X and Accura TL. Car has sports pkg, Premium, and Lighting package. Great in good and poor weather, fabulous in snow. Styling is superb - no regrets - could use a little more hp. but is what I expected,- Sport mode shifter, and tiptronic makes up for this - handling exceeds my capabilities and nerves. Gas mileage is great. Roomier than BMW 325 (2005. Styling is better than the 2006.

Audi is My winter driver. I have spring to fall a2013 prius not a fan of prius as winter car. Also have a 1999 bmw z3 for May thru September. The audi i bought snow tires for winter since off road in summer not studded tires but i don't like that road noise. Bought at 123000 miles and Up to 167 000 miles now. Synthetic Oil changes, premium gasoline.light bulbs go out passanger window slips moon roof sunroof switch has some problems from overuse. Buttons on heater and lights worn logos off. Headlight assemblies i tried the clear the cloudy lens and it didnt work. Should replace whole unit and upgrade to brighter and LED. I LOVE 6 CD CHANGER in dash (bmw is in trunk no dash access)and even occasionally still lisen to books on cassettes. Also huge trunk for ski bags and boots and a pass through from trunk into between rear passenger seatsa bag to keep ski ice out. Easily seats 4 not a lot of legroom in back but lots in front i am 6'. I also love having moonroof open all winter for extra sunlight. I also love heated seats have dial up to 6 and it stays on. My bmw has high and a timer turns it down to low after a bit.i think this car is a great winter driver and drive up to ski places (i used to ski Gore a few times each winter)

This car is worthless. The electrical system has been shot since day one. My car has been in the shop 61 days and counting and Audi refuses to do anything about it. Ask your salesman why they include a manual crank for the sunroof. It's because they can't design a good electrical system. No one should own one of these after the warrenty ends. You would have to be a millionaire to keep up with the cost.
