I had a test drive of the A4 2.0 before I bought the Euro, and I though the A4 was pretty bland. It's slow, steering lack feel, and standard model does not come with much features. On the up side the build quality is supurb and the car looks really classy inside and outside. Fun kicks in with the 1.8T, but would you pay $60K for something just as fast as the 6MT Euro?? I was on the verg of getting the 1.8T (not quattro, cos parents can't drive manual), but couldn't grasp the concept of a FWD, auto, and turbo car
