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)

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.

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.

I loved this car for it's exterior design although the interior design feels cheap(it's same just a Volkswagen). I had so many problems with this car I don't even know where to start. It won't accelarate when entering freeway.. dealder replace turbo related crcuit borad and the problem came back three times now. I sent a letter to Audi under New Jersey's Lemon law. I hope I can get my money back. Numourous rattles coming from all over the place. and I can't believe I bougth a 30K 1.8 liter car..total lack of power. interior design is so busy.. distracting red light all over the place. this near luxury car is cheaper than competition 'cause it's cheaply made
