I hope my comments don't offend anyone, but this car is a POS. I thought I would have to push it up some of the hills. The CEO was wondering if my driving skills were slippin'. I have driven Jetta's and Passat's that handle much better than this. This thing is so under powered and loose. Maybe being a rental had something to do with it....but I doubt it. I felt like it was running on 2 or 3 cylinders. Maybe the 7 speed automatic tranny hadn't been broken in yet. The interior felt really cheap and not well appointed at all. AUDI really missed the mark on this one. From what I can tell, San Diego must be AUDI territory....I saw a lot of Q7's and A4's. I haven't seen that many Q7's in Houston since the launch of the vehicle. There were also people commenting on how nice of a car I was driving. Anyway, I don't want to make this a long read, but this info might help someone thinking about purchasing this vehicle. Remember, this is just my opinion.........Phil
Their transmission is a 6-speed automatic I believe
The interior is quite boring, but it is an all around very safe (safer then the 3) car
I find them boring but have several friends who own them, their due for a replacement for 2008 anyways
I would say if you compared it to the E46 3 series it wouldn't seem so bad, the 2.0T does need a power upgrade, I have a loaner 325ci and its a dog with a bland interior, the new 3 really out-classed the old 3's interior and equipment
