My mileage dropped about 2-4MPG after the software update. I was disappointed, but I'm not gonna sue.

My driving is about a 50-50 mix of city and highway. My d gets about 30MPG regularly, while making good use of that fabulous torque. On long freeway trips averaging 75-80MPH the car gets 35MPG. Not...

My wife drives a 2010 A4 with 6-speed manual. It's been a great car, but I'm sure it would be better with the sport package. Enjoy!

Good choice. I would have picked the 2011. The new tires, the CPO, the closer dealer, the discount and the good service records, in addition to better future resale value all make up for the...

Uh oh... there's a note on my windshield.

The note was very apologetic... A woman backed her SUV into my beloved 335d's front bumper while parked at work.

Damage is limited to the bumper cover... a few small gouges and creases. I got a...

I have a long way to go, but when the time comes, I look forward to replacing my rotors with something that won't form rust on the "hat". That rust is really ugly to look at behind beautiful wheels.

In my experience, downshifting makes more noise than deceleration. All of my previous gas-engined cars had far more effective engine braking than my 335d.

For those who use engine braking and...

That's about what I paid for mine, similarly equipped... about 18 months ago. Seems like better deals should be available now, since the car is EOL, and there are a lot of 'em left.
