I really liked this car when I test drove it and now I own one I am REALLY LIKING this car.. Considering the power I gave up in my Twin Turbo Z the A4 gives back in a very nice driving car that handles well.. However I still am getting used to the shifter and clutch.. Very different from my Z as well as the steering.. The interior is absolutely awsome in the A4.. Only have 100miles so far so I have not been able to get the MPH's and REV to high.. but soon.. With only 150HP this car seems to run quite well.. Once the Wett/Tap/or Hoppen upgrade comes along I'm sure the car will be even more spectacular.. heheheh I have friend with a 97 V6 Accord and another friend with a 97 528i .. (Both of the are Auto's) ehhe When I told them I am getting a 1.8T 150 they laughed...(don't worry chip will be installed before the 1st encounter hahahha.. <p>A4 Day 2: Still awosome ahahahha thanks all for the advice on getting this car...SWEET!

Congrats, You should be able to beat both of your friends cars right now without a chip. Even though the Honda is rated at 200 hp it's still slower than the 150 horsepower 1.8.

Congrats on your new car. I also got mine just 2 days ago too. I'm also getting used to it as well, especially the clutch as my old Eclipse was significantly softer to the touch....excellent for my LA commutes. Still miss the power though, but I love this car just as much as you!
