Thinking of an Audi A4

I am in the market for a fairly new used car and am starting to lean more toward audi. Originally I had it narrowed down to the audi a4, bmw 3 series, lexus is300 and nissan 350z. Living in Ohio, I am starting to be partial to the audi because of the all wheel drive. I test drove an '03 1.8t 5 speed with the sport package today and it was the first audi I had driven. I was very impressed with the interior design, bose sound system, trunk space but most importantly the way it drove. That was a very smooth car that had pretty decent pickup and took corners like a dream. I am a big fan of speed so I would like to drive the 3.0 liter 6 speed. I am a bit concered about Audi because a friend of mine had an 01 and had some minor problems. What are some of the issues that some of you have had with your audi's? Also, I am not a huge fan of the grey plastic under portion of the car but I have seen a few that were the same color of the car. How can you get that part of the car the same color? Any other info would be very helpful. Thanks!

Hey jstanger. Audi's wonderful cars. The only problem i have had with my car is that the timing belt went at around 80k. You can get the grey parts painted to match you car it shouldnt be too much. and Panda should be around soon with the official welcome
