Default To all those considering an A4...

If you're looking around and thinking of buying an <b>A4</b>, let me say this: I've had mine for 8 months and it puts the same smile on my face today that it did the day I rolled it off the showroom floor.

For all the complaints and trouble reports and even slander you often hear in this forum, the A4 is still a truly <i>unparalled</i> experience.

As if I don't drive enough each day to work (2 hours, 60 mi) this Saturday I woke up with the urge to get out on the road. It's probably from reading this forum too much. Sunny day, so why not.

A stretch of open road, I open the throttle and let the adrenaline rush put a smile on my face. The soft purr of the engine, the whine of the turbo, the feeling of total cool and control.

Unless your engine leaks oil when you just buy the car

Default Still smiling after three years.

I totally agree.

Today it was 65 deg out, had the windows down and the sunroof open and still enjoying the same tune from three years ago.

I still look back at it after parking it...twice, sometimes three times after 1year and 8 months.

Default I still turned back to look at my car every time I parked my car......

that's the reason why I used to park my car as far as possible.
Every time I walk back to my car at the parking lot, I say to myself "its such a beautiful car even though its still bone-stock"
The only time that I don't like my car is when the scary 4-second wet braking delay issue happened during rainy days. I will go aftermarket brake pads after the warranty expires in 1/2 year.
