 If you're the type of driver that wants to look forward to getting in your car, this Audi fits the bill.  Our A4 does not have the sport package so the steering and suspension is not as stiff responsive as let's say an S- line Audi, but the ride is a smooth as can be (which my wife prefers).  This car is a real standout in the rain, extremely stable which I attribute to the Quattro. Haven't driven it in the snow yet, but I imagine it will perform well. The seats are comfortable and the steering wheel feels great on your hands. Plenty of trunk space. The bluetooth telephone is seamless, hop in the car and the car takes the call. iPod attachment works great as well. Daytime running lights.
