Default which one for the wife.....2006 2.0T A3 or 2004 A4 1.8T avant?

Price is similar. A3 seems like the obvious choice.

Any A3 owners on here?

A3 is newer/quicker, Avant will have quattro + more room. I personally hate FWD.

Default If they are both quattro, then the A3. If not, the A4 (if its quattro). If neither are...

keep looking.

More power out of A3 than returnless fuel rail 1.8T.

Quattro is good in PNW rainy season, and all the time. Safer for the wifey.

2.0T > 1.8T, but Quattro > FWD. Hmmmm

Default A3 Owner Here. The 2.0T is a very sweet engine and the A3 will be

the more nimble grocery getter. If you need it to get up to the mountains in the winter, the get the A4. For the light snow we get in the valley, FWD is not really an issue. The A3 has surprising little torque steer. The front and rear leg room between the two is almost identical.

If you mod cars at all, a chip, downpipe, and exhaust give a pretty big bang for the buck.
