Quite frankly, it's hard to be ambivalent about $40k purchase, but I have to be honest with myself, and 9 months after purchasing this car, I can't say it's changed our lives. It's solidly built, but there's a fair amount of road noise. For all the self- congratulation from Audi about the increase in size, it's really not all that roomy. I think my wife's old 2001 Jetta had more room in the back. The MMI might be good compared to options from other manufacturers, but it's hardly intuitive. In sum, it's a solid but not outstanding effort.

The commute has gotten a lot more pleasant since the A4 S-Line came in. The Audi is quiet, comfortable, and effortlessly easy to drive. The Alcantara seats are cooler than full leather in hot Louisiana summers. MMI is easy to use and useful after very short learning curve. The steering wheel scroll buttons make dialing phone numbers, radio surfing preset stations easy and safe. The daily commute is a 70/30 mix of highway (65-70 mph)and stop-n-go traffic and the Audi delivers an amazing avg 28-31 mpg with mindful throttle (depends on traffic, weather). Despite the 19" wheels and summer perf. tires the ride is firm without being jarring (test before buying). Gorgeous and feature laden.

I bought this car as a gift for my wife, a blue quattro convertible. For once I hit an out of the park home run. She loves this car and I do too. Its fun to drive, beautiful on the inside and outside, and gives us no trouble at all.

This was the family car and not mine but this is the story. Family really loved the car and it served us well in basically all conditions for years. I loved the exterior and interior styling and fuel consumption. We bought it with virtually no miles on it. At 50,000 km's, lets say, it started guzzling oil super often. I brought it up with the mechanic and family and they just shushed me away. It wasnt me paying for repairs or a new one so I figured whatever. After even short drives the fan to cool the engine would whir very loud and relatively long (a few minutes for sure). I kept complaining and no one listened including the super euro/german mechanic we had. Then around 95,000-ish kilometres all hell broke lose. The oil was being added more often than gas, then weekly then every other day. The engine had oil leaking into it, the turbo had oil leaking into or out of it (cannot remember) and there were definitely other leaks and the engine would have to be rebuilt. The car value was roughly $8500 (CAD) by my estimates and the mechanic said I would just try and unload it and don't bother fixing it. Family wanted a 2017 Audi A4 (family... smh) but luckily we traded it in for a decent value. I'll drop a line here again in 5 years when I see how the 2017 model serves us.
