Sick in snow
Source: Cars.com

..."I had one of these cars for 2 years, I never reall had any major problems only small stuff that went wrong.
This car handleled great especially in the snow! I had this car until it had 155,000 and it still ran great. Awsome Car."...

Not as good as I would expect from Infinity
Source: MSN Autos

...Some oddities - having to have the doors unlocked in order to be able to open the gas tank, a distinct safety drawback; Bluetooth feature does not work with all phones, a point not made during the sales process - mine automatically places a call to phone # 999 every time I turn on the engine and I have to manually hang up the phone. Audio alert on backing up would have been nice. Water doesn't drain properly off the roof after rain, causing wet seats when the door opens. Overall: As with all convertibles, there are definitely trade-offs - The trunk space is virtually unusable, but that's why...

Never Again....
Source: Cars.com

...The car is comfortable and has plenty of shoulder and elbow room for the passengers, unless you are rolling with 6, then it is cramped. For a 4 cylinder it has good power, and it is the best handling car I have ever owned. It is also the best I have driven in the snow, which is surprising for rear wheel drive. About 4 months ago I rear ended another, large vehicle. My front end is caved to the radiator, and still the car doesn't die; most impressive. Value, and most importantly reliability, are the two main reasons for buying another Volvo soon. Trying out a 960, hopefully it will be as good...

Great car for Buisness and Fun all in 1
Source: Cars.com

..."I Bought this car used with 135000 miles on it and I was a little weiry about buying any car with that many miles.
Except this car. It handles and performs great. Gets up to speed quickly but it doesn't even feel like your going 80 miles an hour in this car.
Comfortable interior, snug but not cramped. Wish the owner put the trip computer in it.
Love the radio layout and air-conditioning and heater.
The automatic shifting on this car is a little weird it takes a while to downshift after leveling out on a big hill.
I also wish the exterior styling looked a little...

Impressed with first Honda
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: I really enjoy the way it handles and it has a good acceleration for a 4 cyl.
car. The stereo system is also good. Cons: The blind spot is a problem for me.
I have a hard time viewing the passenger side blind spot. Overall: I would rate this an excellent choice. It handles well and is good on gas...

Infiniti and Beyond....

...The g37x has more standard features than audi a4, lexus i250 and 350, and the baby benz 300 class...Top shelf comfort and leg room....Quiet ride and acceleration unbeatable. i Cons: ash trays and cig lighter...... make it storage instead... no blinkers in the side mirrors Overall: High performance machine for high performance drivers.....Handling and steering tight ......love the bose sound......Luxury and performance like no other......Test drive the other cars in this class and you will find what I did....Infiniti kicks.....A fun car to drive...

NH Seacoast

...Pros: Great car for my daughter. Cons: Small...gas mileage not great for a 4 cyl.
Door rusting...slow windows. Overall: This is my third Honda.
Like the other two, it is ok. I bought them because of Honda's reliability.
I have to say, I have spent just as much maintaining them as my American vehicles.
I have always had an American vehicle along with a Honda. This one now belongs to my daughter. Nice little car for her...

#8
Fun driving summer and winter
Source: Cars.com

..."Great car. Very expensive to buy, but pleasure from driving it, and overall finish is so good, you'll never look at Lexus or other Japanese luxury car.
I had a wagon for 3 years. I can't really say it was not reliable, but it did require maintenance off and on.
Nothing unusual, though. Before that car I had a Honda Accord and Subaru Legacy and they required just as much maintenance.
Except may be the time when two rear suspension springs had to be replaced on Audi.
Mechanic thought that was really rare for any car, so I am not sure what it was used by its previous...

Nice Looking Piece of Junk
Source: Cars.com

...Good thing - this car was in the shop at least every other month with one problem or another The check engine light goes on all the time - at 70K miles the turbo went.Fortunately I had the warranty - it would have cost thousands. Now that the warranty is over - I dumped this German piece of junk for a new Honda Accord Coupe. The Honda runs smoother, quicker and is tighter than the Audi - and it was built in the USA. I'm sure I will spend less time in the shop. I have owned many german cars since the 80s and this was the by far the worst car I ever owned. BTW I also own a 2007 A6 - no problems...

Solid German Performer
Source: Cars.com

..."Bought it brand new in 1999. Since then I bought 3 German cars.
I never going to buy Japanese or American. Quattro is something you can't live without on snow and rain.
Engineer to last forever and lovely going high-speed in place like autobahn.
Great Bose system, 5 valve per cylinder engine, perfect manual transmission. I can't compliant at all. Solid, strong and reliable."...

Why should I also consider these?

The 2009 Audi A4’s chief rivals are the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

The BMW 3-Series is perhaps the most popular, though in its current edition, it’s become heavier and quite expensive, yet its turbocharged in-line six offers brilliant power.

The Mercedes C-Class has more capable handling than before, but rear-seat room is still cramped and its interior styling a little complex.

The Infiniti G35 sports BMW-like handling with a distinctly Japanese flair, while the Cadillac CTS is perhaps GM’s best effort yet, with remarkable European-style handling, ample V-6 power, and a world-class entertainment system.

 
2008 Cadillac CTS
The new CTS can keep up with Mercedes and BMW competitors without mimicking them, and boasts some of the top tech features in its class.
 
2008 Mercedes-Benz C Class
More sport, more luxury, and more features for the money make the new 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class a more attractive possibility.
