A4 is spot on style and that's about it when compared to either the 9-3ss or even the aging the 3series. The A4 is not particularly fast or fun to drive--it can be downright sluggish. The interior is at first look beautiful but upon some inspection actually much cheaper than it looks, especially the leather quality and seat comfort level. The steering is not anywhere near as precise as the 9-3ss nor as commanding as the 3 series. Quality rankings show Audi as the lowest rated European main-line car sold in the US with the exception of, surprise, VW. Finally, unless the A4 is seeing some major incentives these days if you are really interested in getting less for your money than the almost too well priced 9-3ss then a stripped 325 BMW even seems a better option than a stripped A4 1.8T
