I use a thule set up as well on my sedan. Works good, solid. I carry several bikes in summer, skis/snowboards in winter. Should also work well for a surfboard.

Thule doesn't have a rack for the B8 sedan. Get the audi rack and buy thule attachments.

I currently use Yakima on my other car and at some point will be installing a rack on my A4 sedan. In which way Thule is better?
