who here has driven the current body A4's?
 
and i dont mean u drove it for a couple minutes, or u got to park it. i mean like u really drove it around. ur thoughts on the car? 1.8T. not the 3.0. or, if u have a direct family member that lives in the same residence as you with that car and/or a best friend that owns one and you ride in it OFTEN and hear everything he/she has to say about their car. none of the "i know a guy that owns one and he said blahblahblah....." or "i heard that the car blahblahblahblah....." etc. i just want direct personal experiences, or as close to that as possible. reason i ask is my gf and i are planning on both buying one each next month. i only personally know 3 people that own the car and i just wanted to hear more. thanks guys and gals :cool: :)

how did the cabin feel? to me, it kinda feels like the size and ergonomics of a 3series sedan.

hmmm well i wouldn't say the ergonomics were that of a 3series. it's a notch below imo. size wise it's about the same. I didn't like the switch gear too much... reminded me too much of VW hehe

my old coworker had one. it's very pretty, but i wouldnt want one. the suspension felt unsettled and there's not enough power or torque. not sure if you want a manual, but it's rubbery. on the plus side, the interior is nice and it's a great looking car.

i'd buy it if i were more into style than substance, mr. burberry :fawk:
