Great review! I had an Audi also and it was the most unreliable car I have ever owned. Maintenance costs (after 50k of course) are 2-3 times what you would pay for a Cadillac.
The English acutally compared the V to the S4 and the V pulled away from the Audi. AWD is great the the Quattro system is extremely reliable but it does at a lot of weight to a small car.
I loved the Audi's interior also but mine broke often. I personally love the look of the V's interior and exterior. The magazines and critics would be talking about how refreshing and revolutionary the V is if Lexus or Mercedes brought a similar car to the market. Look at BMWs or Mercedes interiors if you want to see the definition of plain or boring.
Audi engines do have a lot of low end torque, well most of them anyways. My A4 would fall asleep below 4 grand though. Raise that limit to around 5k if it is a BMW. The Audi's main advantage is that it has tremendous foul weather grip (better than any SUV, pick up). But driving a $50k car in the snow everyday for long trips is not in my plans.
Great review again!
