Hello,

I am looking at the A4 3.0 Sedan as a potential for my next car purchase. Reliability is one issue that seems to plague Audi everywhere I gather information. That aside I still like the car. Can anyone provide me the "known" trouble spots on this car? I have read that the coils were an issue but that issue should be fixed on a new purchase. Are there others?

Also, I have some option questions. When I go to the "Build Your Audi" section of the AudiUSA web site, they list "Full leather" ($1,000) and "Leather with package" ($1,700). Yet, the brochure only lists "leather option". I don't understand what the difference is and what the actual leather upgrade includes and costs.

This car will be used mostly as a travel car and daily driver for my wife. Is the sport package something I should consider? I have read the ride will be much harder, but I have the performance suspension in my Corvette and find the ride completely acceptable (although prior years rode much harder).

The car comes with free oil changes. Does anyone know the type of oil they use and what Audi requires? I am very much into oil analysis and typically use high grade synthetics. I know BMW uses very good synthetics in their changes, does Audi?

Are there any options that just aren't worth the money?

Sorry for all the questions, but I want to make an informed decision.
