Talking Proud to be an Audi owner!

Thanks for the welcome to the site. We just got rid of our Acura 3.2TL which we had new since 2000. Sad to see it go since it was the car we brought both kids home from the hospital, in after their births. Always loved the Audi A4 looks, and as it was same "class" as Acura we found a beauty. New was out of my price range at this time but we bought this choice 2009 A4 Quattro 3.2L (265hp...can't wait to thrash it on the 407 ETR!!!) in mint condition inside and out. Full of goodies, and the interior , well, I could live in it, it's that nice. Looking forward to many, many years of fun with this car, and visits to the site as I like to do as much as I can to my own vehicles, when needed. I think the first research I'll do is whether or not to purchase a set of snow tires and rims for this beast. I've got a buddy who has one, and he says they are tanks with the all seasons due to the all wheel drive, but my wife will be driving it mostly, and I've got a (gulp) Durango so I pretty much can drive in any weather, as long as there are gas stations within a half hour's drive, heh heh. I don't know if the wife will be as confident without the snows in the Audi, and besides, I don't want to hear any phone calls that start with "now don't freak out, but when I was driving to work this morning..."

Congrats on the purchase, welcome to the site! One thing I would highly recommend is getting a seperate set of rims and tires. Try to run a summer and winter setup, all-seasons= no season. Honestly until you drive the Audi with winters on you will never realize what this car can do it is simply amazing. I know it is pricier to get two sets but those two sets will run you anywhere from 3-5 years. At 3 years = its 6 times you need to change from winter to summer on one set of rims at about $150 each time = $900 that pretty much pays for the extra rims and tires alone.
