After quite a bit of consideration, I recently picked up an Audi A4 2.0T Quattro special edition.  Manual trans and fun to drive.  Very nice car and given that dealers are generally starving, it was pretty cheap. 

I've had it for 2 weeks and it has a whopping 83 miles on it. 

It's not as fun to drive as the Monster is to ride.

It's just an A4.  A pic is required?  ;D

Did you mean a pic of the Monster?

I worked on Audi's for 3 years and those new A4's are bullet proof. The 2.0L does not have near the problems the 1.8L did. Congrats man.

I bought an Audi A4T Quattro a couple months ago. Not a special edition but I freakin love that turbo. I'll grab some pics and post up some A4 porn as well.

sweet.

2.0t is a great engine, but DO NOT use cheap fuel.

since its direct injection, fuel never sprays onto the valves, and if low quality fuel is used it will cause carbon buildup on the valves that is very difficult to remove.

BTW, after the first 500, get a revo flash.. makes a HUGE difference.

Revo flash?  Wassat?

I don't have pics but here's the site:

Congrats on the car. I have the TT in a 3.2,  damn fun to drive.

what is this "cheap fuel" you speak of?  [laugh]

sugarcrook

Ah, I'm not interested in increasing HP.  If that did something to improve mileage I'd be all over it.

If you do get a flash make sure you let the dealership know everytime you take it in for service.  Audi is always coming out with reflashes for the ecm and will do them automatically.  If they reflash your flash gets wiped out.
Just a little advice.
