Audi has long since corrected this, but the 1.8T engine although a great engine in the A3, and VW Golf & Jetta, it is just to small for the much heavier A4. It is the only knock I have on this car. The interior is fantastic, and simple. As with most German cars all of the standard luxury items are included. I live in Calgary, slap a set of snow tires on this car and you can drive places in winter a lot of SUVs would have trouble! I have put 145,000kms on my A4, plenty of which were in the mountains in the winter, and I have never been stuck, or off the road.
I'll buy another one day...but with the new 2.0T engine.
