I could get used to the 2.0T because...
of the gas mileage!!!
I've had one as a loaner for the past 2 days, and I've been driving around the city (Chicago) w/ the gas light on for the whole time. Still have 20 miles until empty!!
As soon as the gas light goes on my S4, I start to get nervous. =)

Auto or manual? I've had a couple A4 2.0t loaners and the throttle + turbo lag + auto combination
felt weird IMO. If you just mashed the throttle everywhere and would powerbrake @ stoplights it worked pretty well though.
Driving normally - the gas mileage was amazing vs. my S4 though. : )

ahh... i see. I did have a few seconds of fun in an A3 2.0t DSG @ "Streets of Tomorrow" but I was
so busy beating on the car I never noticed any lag. 
Handled nicely for an FWD car. Shifts were quick too. BTW - your car looks good w/ the OZs and lowered.

Auto, I'm not driving like I would a Hertz car...it's just a decent city cruiser. Of course...
after having the S4, I would never buy one. 
But the fact I don't have to make an inconvenient gas stop every other day is very appealing!

I had a 2.0TDI rental in Germany for a week and absolutely fell in love with it...
if only the 2.0T here came in quattro and stick, it'd def. take away A4 sales...S3 would be fantastic as well.
