7.5 - I want more power and better exhuast note - but I am a bit biased towards power because I was brought up in a Corvette family and cross shopped a Corvette C6. Two completely different cars I know but decided on A4 because its practical, nice fresh design, gas mileage and I would've killed myself in the Vette. Other than that its awesome! Quattro is great! Still a great turbo 4.

9; I am comparing the 2011 2.0T 6MT with a 2002 1.8T 5MT and
2006 2.0T 6MT. The 2.0 just gets better- 2011 (211hp) is quicker, and gets even better fuel economy than the 2006 (200hp)

I would say a solid 6 before upgrades, close to a 7 now.

I'd probably rate it a 7. Not the most exciting car I've driven but a torquey engine + Quattro makes things fun when you want.

Though I have to say on a rainy day... probably a 9. =)

7 (6MT 3.2 quattro, regulated sports chassis and dynamic steering).
Not as good looking and less umph than my previous Camaro Z28 -99, but more sophisticated and so much grip in the corners. It started to snow today, so it'll probably be up to 8 or 9 in the afternoon

9.5 for me.
After two months of waiting and second-guessing if I was going to like the exterior color (ice silver), if the 18" sport package wheels were low-profile enough, if the sport suspension was not too low to scrape my driveway, if the standard audio would be good enough, if the back seat room would be big enough, when I got it last week, I was thrilled to find out that I couldn't have gotten a better entry luxury sedan package. It met or exceeded my expectations on all accounts as far as fit and finish, engine power, aesthetics, wheels, handling, tech features, etc.

I take 0.5 away for minor inconveniences with the HVAC controls (no direct access the fan and distribution controls) and the lack of power between the 700 and 1500 RPM. Not sure if that's what is called "turbo-lag" or it just needs to be revved above 1500 for the turbo to come on. I'm working on the launch sequence and I'm getting there - it's doable.
