Beautiful Looks but Ugly Engine
I love this car with all my heart the shape, the lines, the lights, just about everything about this car I love. But the engine on the other hand, that's a different story. This car is one of my favorite cars to drive. Grips to the road really well, pretty quick for the price, and insanely fun in the snow. I've never really felt confident in the snow but this car was so fun because I never felt unsafe with the quattro system. So onto the engine. I've had it just under a year and a half. I have a long commute so about 20,000 in that amount of time. (I do understand that quite a bit) I've had 2 big problems with the engine. 1st problem was the seal to the spark plugs and piston area wasn't so great. Car started misfiring pretty rough so I went to check it out and there was oil puddles and oil covering the spark plugs. $1,200 fix. Then I'm driving it around and a check engine light pops up. "Turbo Underboost" the turbo went out so now at a Certified Audi dealership its a $3,300 fix. I've done quite a bit of research on this car and the 2.0 TFSI engine isn't the most reliable engine. If you were looking for an audi that will last quite a bit longer i would recommend the 3.0 v-6 engine. It's much more reliable and a little quicker

Fun ride and head turner
I picked it up 2 weeks ago in Aruba Blue. Love the car and the color. I test drove several cars before decided on A4. You can't compare beautiful interior & exterior designing with any other car in its class. When turbo kicks in you feel you are drving on the race track not on a highway. Love the MMI, bluetooth and iPod features. I love it.

Pure awesome-ness
I own a 2009 A4 2.0T FSI Quattro Prestige S-Line. What an amazing and fun car to drive! Pros: Performance: responsive, good handling, grips the road and can make tight corners, 0-60 in 6.7 sec as advertised, smooth ride even with sport suspensions. Styling: beautifully done interior, exterior styling is amazing with nice flowing lines, still loving the LED lights after 26K. Reliability: reliable, no maintenance issues at all, all in all, a great car! Other: B&F audio is a must! 31 mpg highway Cons: Stock tires are noisy at high speeds above 60 mph -Torque steer issues that Audi has no fix for still. MMI interface does not support other languages -18 mpg city -Slow start off the line
Buy/Lease a Japanese Car Instead
Audi's 4 cylinder engine - 2.0 ltr - is a poorly designed and engineered engine. It is not smooth and has a slight roughness at idle. The engine burns oil -about one quart every 1200 miles or so. Audi USA says this is normal for a car with an MSRP of $40,000+. Audi obviously went the cheap route and doesn't ant to stand behind its product. I buy or lease cars for their engine reliability. And in this department, Audi is a definite loser. Buy or lease a Honda Accord, Lexus, Toyota- upscaled models nicely equipped. They are far better cars and their manufacturers stand behind their products - unlike Audi.
Looks Can Be Deceiving
I love everything about the car. It runs great, the Prestige package has everything anyone could want at a great price, and the car's styling is superb. The only down side to the car is that it burns 5 quarts of oil between oil changes, as was confirmed by a recent oil consumption test at the dealership. This is kind of an annoyance for a vehicle that stickers for over $40,000 new.
