pros/cons of the a4

my mom may be looking at getting a new car soon, and my dad (being the lover of fine german automobiles as it is) would like her to get an A4. my moms not really the type for performance (as my dad and i are), but what are some of the pros and cons of getting an a4, maybe a year or two used?

Unlike most racer wannabe A4 owners will tell you, A4's are not performance vehicles. They are an entry level luxury vehicle. You can mod them for performance gains but it's not a race car. The only cons are the occasional electrical problems. Common with VW/Audi.

pros-easily tuned engine
Cons-Weight
