I am on my second used audi a4 quattro (first one totalled, not my fault) and im loving it this winter even more than last. It has superb ice and snow control when starting and with the right winter tires it stops on a dime. It is somewhat fuel economical and it uses supreme gasoline, which is what its made to run on. It also has all the bells and whistles such as heated power seats, telescopic steering wheel, heated mirrors.. etc. The only downside to owning a foreign vehicle is the price of parts and labor at the dealership, but I find if you buy the parts at the dealership and find a local mechanic who is certified to work on German cars, then the cost isn't so steep. All in all its a wonderful car for summer and our canadian winters. Happy Car Buying!!
