Audi is nicer in my opinion and has quattro, but will be more expensive to maintain.

Had a couple friends with them and the suspension seems to be the expensive part, always heard of them replacing parts.

I like them though. Living out East the quattro would be nice.
 
The Audi a4 is just a Volkswagen Passat, so the A4 would be larger then the Jetta and get less fuel mileage.
 
Audi a4?!!!! how about an audi rs4!!!!!!!!!!!!😎 or a audi s4, since i don't think they make rs4's no more.....especially in the USA.😉
 
Think maintenance...both cars are great. VW and Audi are always fine in my book. But I would go with the one with a warranty and few miles.

Remember that as soon as you drive a car out of the show room it's value decreases immensely. I would always go for second hand.
 
think the real question is, does the audi come with a warranty?
personally, as someone else mentioned, a new car instantly depreciates, so not alot of point in getting one there!
plus id just go for audi anyway... quattro, reliable, nicer looks imo 🙂
 
Have you driven either car yet? It's one thing for us to suggest a certain car, but it is another for you to get behind the wheel and get a feel for the vehicle.
How much is the Audi selling for? I've driven a 2008 A3 a few times and loved it. It is one quick car. The A4 is even nicer.
