My Allroad is in the shop and I had a choice of a 2006 A4 or the A3....It was a very easy choice.

I lover this car... 325 Miles on it...DSG, Sport option package. 2.0T, Leather..manual seats.. but heated, 17" rubber that IS NOT UP TO THE TASK..Dunlop Sport Maxx. But this...pocket rocket... is a great car. I love the versatility of the DSG.. iven in Auto mode the paddles will over ride it ans do thie rthing..Red line is 7000 and I was holding to 7500? WOW... what a blast and no turbo lag.

You few that have one of your own..take care of it..its a great car....enjoy the ride.

Treat it from day 1 the way you will treat it on day 326, etc.

Audi #1 81 4000S donated to the Salvation Army with 150k miles and orginal clutch 12 years old
Audi # 2 1980 5000 S.. vandalized at 147K miles and junked..15 years old.
Audi #3 2001 A4 2.8.. 48K..lease was up no problem
Audi #4..My 2003allroad 90K no engine problems yet.
(turbos went at 30K but that's common)
Audi #5 2005 A4 Cab 3.0Q..17K and runs like new.

I wouldn't risk it. I did do something stupid with couple friends of mine, back when we were like 15 or something....my friends dad bought a brand new Yugo! We took the air filter and its housing off - open carbs, took the exhaust off, complete after the downpipe...car was brand spanking new....and we romped on it on this twisty forest road near my house.....3 of us took turns....whole day....threw everything back on at the end....car ran like champ, better than any other Yugo around....but motor was shot after 3yrs:( It was fun though.
