2006 Audi A4 2.0T (FWD)
Summary:
Fast, handles like a champ, looks sexy
Faults:
Small rust spots forming on hood and trunk corners, re-painted under warranty.
Driver's seat replaced under warranty as leather was splitting on the sides.
General Comments:
This is an extremely fun car to drive, even without Quattro AWD. It holds the road very well and takes corners while accelerating like a champ. Top speed of this car I have seen rated at 240kph, but I personally have only had it up to 200kph, and even on a windy day it was incredibly stable at that speed.
Nothing has gone wrong mechanically.
The car performs terribly in winter conditions with the stock all seasons and being that it is FWD (I regret not getting a Quattro equipped model for Canadian winters).
Very expensive to maintain and fix.
A lot of people comment on the car and how sexy it is.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Of all the vehicles I've owned, and I've owned many... this car ranks highest in all categories by a large margin. I own a 2006 FWD A4 2.0T. I made the purchase in July 2009. The design, the performance, the appearance and reliability (thus far) has exceeded my expectations. I regret however not going for the S-Line package.
I'm a little disappointed about the fuel economy, but then again I like to "drive" this car and the long range boost in the turbo certainly doesn't help ;)
I'm looking forward to see how this car drives in the Canadian winter. I'll have my answer sooner than later. Anyhow, I recommend this car to anyone who is looking for a great all around car.
