I am leaning toward the A4. Good gas mileage, AWD for ski season, and seems really nice for the price

Have you considered how big the backseat is? Trunk space? Is it fairly sound proof inside?

Just trying to help out there, friend.

My 2.0T in the newer style Audi TT ate oil like it was gasoline. Literally every 4-5,000 miles, I'd get a low oil warning and I had to stop by the maintenance department for a top off. It was free, but freakishly annoying. Every valve, cap, etc was closed and sealed yet the little bugger drank the synth oil. Got great gas mileage, was just enough room, and sprite enough to be plenty of fun. After the 5 year warranty though, see you later...

Got a aerodynamic, slow fridge now. (Prius)

No. Company car is a Q5. RS6 before that.

If so, how do you feel about it?

Not convinced, but very visually impacting initially.

The fact that Jaguar´s new model looks like it, throws me off/lessens my attraction for this car.

they still have electrical issues.

why volkswagon can't figure out how to run wiring in a car is beyond me.

auto windows fail and yesterday i saw a brand new one with the driver's side LED strip under the headlights not working.

c'mon audi. those are LEDs so i know damn good and well they didn't burn out.

Was its turn signal on? I thought one Audi's LED strip had gone out until I saw the LED's turn back on after the signal was turned off

I actually didn't have any other problems except the oil problem (too annoying to keep and didn't know if they'd supply oil for the rest of its life) and driver side flip down mirror/sun visor light. Those 5 years were fun

that absolutely could have been the case. it was facing me at a red light which is why i had such a good look at it.

i dont remember if it turned or not.

Am I the only one that hates the way Euro car companies set up their dashes? This looks almost just like BMW's and I think it looks terrible and awkward to manipulate.

Does anybody else get CAr & DRiver and last months issue they had compario's between new cars and ones just a few years old. They had 2010 S4 vs the new WRX, and then they had a old school Ferrari Testarrosa vs the new Vette, NSX vs something, i can't remember, it was good reading.

My stepdad has a S7. He has owned two A6s and an S8. Back seat room and head room was a little more in the A6 IIRC, but that was a while ago, so I can't be sure. No problems with it at all, and he loves it

Audis are by far my favorite car to drive. You can cruise all day at 100, and it is like you are going 60. Highway ride is impeccable. Turning a quattro is unlike any other car I have driven

It if was me buying, I'd get an S8 over an S7, but I don't have the money to buy a wrecked one of either, so TIFWIW.

Can't stand that the engine on/off is right next to the passenger's left leg. Seems like they should have put it on the driver's side of the transmission shifter.

Why is the guy getting rid of it with only 3K miles? That's damn short, even for a lease.

It will still be under factory warranty. Go to any Audi dealership and run the VIN through their service department. This will give you service history.

Move cautiously.

:facepalm:

If the driver is incapacitated, this facilitates possible access to it by the passenger.
