How much oil consumption is too much? My wife's 2010 A4 2.0 has 13,500 miles on it, and has burned 2 quarts since its last oil change at 7500 miles. That is certainly more oil consumption than I've...

I drove the Jetta TDI, and found the power adequate but not too exciting. The mushy brakes and the OK, but not great handling took that car off my list. It does get better mileage overall than the...

Well, today I officially gave up on Audi bringing the A4 TDI here, and bought at BMW 335d. We've had three Audi's in the last 10 years, and have loved them. Now it's time for a new chapter.

I'd vote for the B&O. The stock system in the B8 is very lame sounding compared to the Bose upgraded system I have in my 1999 B5. But then, I AM an audiophile type, so I might be more bothered than...

Trader--

Most of the rumors that I've heard/read about a USA A4 TDI have had it coming with the 3.0 litre 6 that currently is available in the Q7. On the other hand, I've seen these rumors for...

I loved the 335d. It felt like it had a giant V8 in it. Amazing, effortless power any time you want it, coupled with great handling and brakes. It was a blast to drive. In my part of the world, a...

The 335d that I drove had the chestnut brown leather seats... kind of an orange/brown leather. It was quite handsome with the accompanying light burl walnut trim.

I drove a BMW 335d a few weeks ago. If they had an AWD version, I would have written a check on the spot. The torque of that engine was amazing, and coupled with BMW's handling and braking, it won me...

You are correct... the A3 TDI is FWD only. I don't know the reason. In BMW's case, it might be because that their diesel generates so much torque that their current AWD hardware will not handle it....

Where's the TDI?

The other day I test drove a BMW 335d, and I have to say that I was blown away. The diesel's prodigious torque made the 3 series feel like it was powered by a huge V8. 36 MPG hwy. Smooth, quiet,...

I would also point out that maintaining and repairing a used BMW can get VERY expensive... At least a new Audi is going to come with a warranty, so there are no worries about that for a few years.
