Sell it, buy a BMW! 

Only kidding and no idea I'm afraid.

Buy a Skoda - same car, less money...... >:D

535dboy is probably your best bet.  I would imaging you should be looking for similar option to a 3-er or 5-er?

Just had an Audi A4 Avante 2.0d on test for 3 days , they seem to have come on a bit as my brother in law has an A4 that drives like a brick .
Roomy , Quick , no road tax , great boot , 40 + mpg  , plenty of gadgets but & a big but no driver appeal , corners wobbly & very lumpy ride had 18" on but feel every bump !
Mother in law has a Q5 again nice car but feels wooden .
Only advise get them to try every car in Audi range ,  then try a 3 series ! We tried A3 & A4 before wife who was a big Honda fan tried the X1 which we bought !
  After saying all that mate has a S3 which he swears buy but he swears a lot after fuelling it twice a week !

2 door ones have dated horribly in my eyes! look bulbous and not for me.  4 door however is very pretty in correct spec!!!

Well the guy bought one. Beautiful car, although the design is dated.

Audi has sacked the design team, no new designs for a while.
