i also test drove the a3 and a4 before buying my 325i.

a3: test drove a 2.0T dsg. i thought it shifted well. wasn't exactly fast, but felt peppy. thought it drove fairly well too. like the looks. however, it was small, very little room in the rear seat, and kinda expensive for what it is.

a4: test drove a 2.0T quattro. drove well too. the exterior is nice and i agree that i like the interior better than the e90. also agree, that after you add the options you want, it becomes a very expensive car.

comparing the a4 to the e90: felt the e90 was a better overall value and the exterior looks better than the a4. e90 drove better and had a better feel. lastly, i thought about all the problems my friend has had with his b6 a4. b7 a4 is not much different from the b6 a4. so in the end, my opinion was the e90 would be a much better car for me.
