Im, not old enough to be driving any A4 yet 
(except any S version)
LMAO!
Well I had the S4 from new when I was 36, I wouldn't say thats old, nor is it an old mans car!
I can see where 08micsta is coming from, the cabin in the Audi's really is top notch, and as its a fairly big/heavy car it feels well planted. The S4 really pulls like a train all the way to 155mph, 0-62 in 5.6secs I think from memory, but its above those speeds where it really comes into its own. I was cruising in Germany at 155mph (electronically restricted), and the car seemed to "squat down" and felt very stable. (I have had a few 4 wheel drifts in it myself as I thrashed it around the "Ring" twice, and have had a few advanced driving lessons, track days etc)
Although I actually prefer my GTI to the Audi, its not as high a standard of build, period. I test drove an R32, the GTI and many other cars before deciding, and went for the GTI as it was a good all-rounder, went well, and cost a shedload less on fuel.
Before slamming the Audi's, go and test drive any of the A3's, A4's or an S/RS if you can find one.
Also a note about the leather, the Audi version is so soft and high quality, where the VW looks and feels "rubbery", even though its similar cost.
Still loving the GTI though, a lot easier to live with than having 40K sat on the drive depreciating. If I had the cash coming out of my ears with no mortgage, it'd be an RS4 for me, the GTI for the missus!
