"My car has been burning 1 quart of oil every 2500 miles. The dealer "fixed" it, but it still burns 1 quart every 3000 miles. Both the dealer and Audi told me that 1 quart every 1200 mile is within specs."

"This is my first sedan since a 2002 BMW 3 series I owned for a few years. Am so happy I bought this car. The ride as so smooth and powerful, it's hard to believe it's a 4 cylinder engine. Have been driving this for 2 weeks now and couldn't be more pleased. It has great pickup and that extra power on the highway when you need it. I had to set the alarm at 80MPH because I found myself going over without knowing it and I'm no speed demon. I purchased it with the MMI Nav unit and find it to be a very good system, much better than the Tom Tom I owned previously. There are so many options between Nav, phone control and radio that it can take a little while to learn all the features and commands. Will definitely recommend this car."

"I bought my 2012 Audi A4 Avant (Preimium Plus) to replace my 2003 Audi A4 Avant. The previous version had made it to 215,000 miles with virtually no repairs, but rumor has it that the new Avants may no longer be shipped after this month, so I had to bite the bullet. I am very happy with my purchase. It has so much more on it than my old one. I highly recommend the MMI system (I played with it for days!). I also love the panoramic moonroof, self-dimming mirrors, rain-detecting windshield wipers, and light-detecting headlights (with the original coolest LED's). Since it already came with the key you don't even have to take out of your pocket, I can foresee becoming a very lazy driver. The performance is stunning with amazing acceleration (I was disappointed to give up my manual, but it was worth it) and handling. I gave it my first drive in the snow this weekend and had to really push it to get it to fishtail (and I didn't even get snows yet!). In short, I'm by far the coolest soccer mom out there and, unfortunately, may be the only one to reach the field no matter what the weather. I even made a special "Good-bye Old Audi" video on YouTube. Check it out if you want to see my new beauty!"

"Picked up my 2012 Audi A4 6 speed manual last week and had it out for a run on the highway over the weekend. It lives up to expectation with respect to styling, comfort and performance, but can't provide any meaningful comments on reliability and value for money just yet. I will comment that the instrumentation is busy and the computer interface can complicate what should be simple tasks. For example, turning on or off the seat warmer is no longer a matter of setting a dial on the console to the desired level. You now have to hit the seat warmer button (which you really can't locate by feel), turn the dial on the computer to the desired level and then punch the dial button to activate it; to turn it off, you have to punch into the seat warmer mode, turn the level down to 0 and then punch the dial again. Not as simple as I'd like it to be, especially when driving in traffic. Also, the instruction manual isn't as well written as manuals for competitors (I also own an Acura). It tends to jump around and instructions don't seem intuitive. I know I'll adjust to the new Audi way of doing things (I last had a 2005 Audi before trying something else) and for now am most pleased with the performance and handling."
