Audi A4 Avant 3.2 FSI Quattro: In the Autoblog garage, day 5

False alarm! We reported already yesterday that it was the final part of Autoblog's review of the Audi A4 Avant 3.2 FSI quattro, but they still had day 5 to come.

For the price of this sport wagon (over $47,000), Audi has brought to the table a ton of technological and mechanical features that actually add value. For all that is offered, you really feel like the A4 is worth the money. We consider this Audi A4 Avant 3.2 FSI with the S-line package to be the ultimate A4, outside the S4 or RS4 of course. The 3.2 FSI is a brilliant power plant with a vicious roar and powerful thrust. The interior is impeccable, and the exterior, despite its critics, looks delicious in this deeply reflective silver paint. It’s a tastefully designed package. The larger wheels add strength to the wagon’s stance, and the aero treatment combined with the bright work around the windows and the aluminum roof rails add a touch of elegance.

So how does it all boil down? The A4’s a great car, and there are a lot of other ways to own one. The A4 can be ordered a wide variety of configurations. This particular formula is expensive, but, apples to apples, it’s priced better than anything its direct German competition could offer.

This is an excellent buy if you can afford it. It’s quiet, luxurious, fast, and handles beautifully. It’s a good option for those who want the feel and character of a traditional German compact sedan, but who don’t want a BMW or Mercedes. For us, we’ll continue to dream, and maybe scheme up some plan to get our own 2.0T Quattro with a manual or maybe an A3 with DSG.
