 The new A4 is a terrific car.  It's beautifully styled inside and out.  It is comfortable to drive on long trips yet sporty and fun enough to drive fast on twisty roads.  A lot of reviewers complain about the 4-cylinder engine and its buzz, but I love the sound of a turbo 4.  I wish they had put the GTIs sound amplifier in the A4, but can understand why they didn't considering the different demographics.  The main problem I have with the car is that it gets expensive when you start adding features other luxury car manufacturers include as standard.  At an MSRP of $38K, the Premium Plus trim doesn't seem like a bargain against the 328XI, especially since the BMW has standard maintenance.
