Pros
- The best exterior styling of all Audis
- Great multi-link suspension setup
- Arguably the best NA V8 from VAG
- 6-speed manual transmission
- No electronics gimmicks
- One of the last 6-speed manual
Cons
- Weak automatic transmission
- Nose-heavy
- Not as easy to work on as its contemporaries, though far better than later Audis
- Worse styling than the hatchback
- 2.0 TFSI got the Euro 6d treatment
- Stuck with MacPherson struts in the front
