I'm looking at a one w/ 45k on the odo. Test drove it. Was pleasant. The only thing that was a bit annoying were the squeaks coming form the arm rest. Also I noticed that the car was a bit loud while idling if you stand outside the car.

I am coming from all jap cars so maybe its just how it is.

I'm curious about reliability. I figure that by it not being a turbo it should be safer on my wallet... but what about everything else?

Also, I can't seem to find a 0-60 number for this particular combination of 3.2L w/ 6MT quattro.

 

3.2L w/ a 6spd.... S Line is my favorite Audi's...

the only problem with 3.2 is the rear timing chain covers start leaking at around 50k miles.

And some, but not all has fuel pressure problems and Carbon build up

 

this one isn't the S-Line version.

so whats that stuff cost to fix?

 

I'm partial to the 2.0T, but if you like the car, then 3.2/2.0--it's all preference. I didn't find anything the "S-Line" offered to be worth passing up the one I found for. Don't confuse that with the S4 which is a very different model of the A4 with a much bigger engine (and price tag).

 

wow. you certainly like to generalize. the more of your blogs i read the more i think you're so full of ****.

 

what do u mean hes full of ****? all those things he mentioned are very real things that you need to worry about with the 3.2l, fuel pressure (cam follower) and carbon buildup is much more real in the 3.2l than the 2.0t depending on how it was driven. Its not his job to elaborate, im sure a quick search will bring up a plethora of information on whatever subject hes trying to research.
