A4 vs 328i - oh, oh...

Beware, a heretic enters the discussion....

I took an Audi A4 for a test drive today...and it's killing me  -
especially since I  was about to plunk my hard earned cash down on a new
328i '97 -  but  it's a better (read smoother) ride, has a nicer interior
(read refined), handles just as well (read 4 wd), and is less expensive
(read <$5K list). It seems like  a better buy......arrrrgh, change my mind,
quick.....or maybe not.

Oh, yea , there is one significant drawback - the engine is only a 174hp. 
It doesn't have nearly the kick of the 328i. And with the salesman in the
passenger seat (read 6'5", 280lbs) I couldn't get a feel for what the
engine could deliver anyways.

Was going to buy a 328i but is seriously considering an A4 now.
