RE: potential 3.2 Avant owner
Not exactly the comparison that you're asking for, but my wife went from a 2000 Subaru Outback wagon to the 2008 A6 Avant 3.2 6AT Quattro. We got rid of the Subaru with 107,000 on the clock.
In any case, I never did like the way the Subaru drove. The 2000 model was under powered and didn't give me the feeling that I was in control of the car, but that I was trying to control the car. The A6 Avant is a car that I feel in control of at any speed. It goes where you point it without hesitation or delay and feels like it wants to do it for you whereas the Subaru felt like it had to be forced to go where you pointed it and didn't like it one bit.
My wife is not a spirited driver by any stretch of the imagination, whereas I am quite spirited. The A6 Avant with the Automatic isn't anywhere as fun as my A4 3.2 6MT Quattro, but they're entirely different cars also.
The bottom line, to me, is if the A6 Avant 3.2 Quattro is that nice, I would imagine the A4 Avant 3.2 Quattro would be closer to the fun I have with my A4 (smaller car, lighter weight, same 3.2l...).
