"Great car. Awful awful awful cup holder. Love the red leather and sound system. Love the exhaust note (3.0). Could use a back -up camera. Very comfortable seats. Super high quality canvas top. Did I say it has the worst cup holder ever ?"

"The suspension is nice and stiff, the ride is bumpy on Michigan roads. The seats are very nice and the interior is well designed. Visability is good. The braking is poor in snow, this may be due to the tires, but it goes but doesnt turn or stop. Good engine, but mechanical problems are expensive and complex and tend to be difficult to fix. Manual shift was fun, good gas mileage, but requires premium due to the turbo. I would not buy another. I have spent more time getting to know mechanics in the past two years than with any other car that I have owned. Cadillac and BMW are better cars, both better rides."

"I love this car and will drive it into the ground. It does have some small pricey quarks. Window regulators along with several components which like to play games and choose to work or take the day off. the ride is so smooth with quick response. the inside is perfection. the entire layout is smooth with no gap lines completely solid. little attention to detail makes it easy on the eyes. this car is simply wonderful and if you so choose to love it she is an expensive woman to keep happy."

"My most favorite Convertible ever. (owned four total) Love it, drives very sporty but is not missing luxury and class at all. German cars are the best. Great craftsmanship and awesome technology."

"The good things: fun to drive, good looking, good performance of engine and Quattro system, good enough gas/mileage. The bad things: engine a little noisy, powerful vibrations when idling, check engine light went on at some point - something related to gas tank fixed under warranty, the gas gauge got stuck at 1/3 full. Overall: I owned the car for only 6 months and it had minor problems, nothing really important, but I expected a little more quality from Audi. Even if I am an Audi fan I'm thinking about trying BMW next time. 2005 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro."

"Elegant design inside-out, powerful engine and transmission, super good gas-mileage. Two areas to be improved: 1. Navigation system: clumsy operation, maps needed upgrade... 2. A bit too much road noise inside the cabinet."

"I originally bought this car for my wife, who doesn't care so much about performance, but I have found it to be a very fun car to drive. The sport suspension is a little stiff (to be expected) but it handles excellently and is very responsive. Acceleration is surprising considering the engine specs, but Audi did a great job tuning the turbo for the torque curve. My only complaint is that the center console is a little wide for a long legged guy like me (especially when the kids are in the back) because my knee has to rest against it. Otherwise a great drive, with good ergonomics."

"A4 1.8T sport package with special edition package which is the S4 body kit and spoiler and steering wheel. This car is built solid which you can tell from the moment that you close the door. The 1.8T teamed with the 6 speed multitronic trans is amazing, not the greatest performance but when you realize that you are being propelled by a 4 cylinder engine with the great gas mileage it is amazing. The seats are firm and the suspension very taut so if you are looking for comfort you should look elsewhere, but if you are looking for the handling of a sports car which can carry 4 people then this is the car for you. I highly recommend this car as it is a fun car to drive and I love the look of the car especially with the Special Edition package."
