Hatw to say it, but the Audi is junk. Better then the days of old, but still junk. Subaruas have gotten better the last 4 years. My father in law has a Audi A4, and it was eating a quart of oil every month. It was brand new. They finally only fixed the engine versus giving him a new one. My gay brother in law talked him into that hud. But he will never admit it. Oil changed are like 350.00 according to him.tI worked for Audi of North America for 7 years , great cars and honestly probably better in maintence then the Subaru. I would stay away from the TT though, it's a completely different platform then the other Audi's. The A3 shared that platform on its release to the US with the CVT trans non Quattro versions. Spend $20k and get yourself a A4 Quattro 2.0T or a 3 series BMW xdrive. The Audi has the better torsion diff over the fluid coupler that the BMW uses. The Audi will be better in the snow then the BMW , but the BMW is more comfortable to drive. Just my two cents though ........
I personal just purchased a MB E350 bluetec diesel awd. Awesome vehicle at almost 40mpg, it's for my wife's and she loves it. Bought it as a CPO from Beaverton Mercedes and was less then $30k with 42,000 miles on it.
