I've never owned a VAG product. I do know the A4 sits on the MLB platform which uses a longitudinally mounted engine with a fully symmetrical drivetrain. It is a very good AWD system, and is fitted to all but the entry level models.
Now, there are drawbacks to using a FWD architecture. Mainly that the weight distribution is way off and the engine hangs way over the front axle. However, this does save cost and the symmetrical drivetrain does remedy a lot of issues that plague most transverse FWD platforms (like both VW’s and MINI’s vehicles).
Audis also have impeccable interiors and are way ahead of BMW on interior technology. I personally care more about driving dynamics so I am excited for the G20/G80. But if you're the type that places more value on the in-cabin experience and very sharp exterior styling, then the Audi is a VERY solid choice.
