Well let me chime in as well. I have the A4 Ultrasport Avant. Think of it as a prettier version of the S4 (better body trim and wheels) with 1/2 the power 
So I won't talk about torques, because I've got none... But as far as comfort, it's a great car. Seats are great (the S4 has Recaros, even better), tons of convenience features. As far as utility it's awesome, you can fit a ton of stuff in it. Rear leg room isn't great however. If you compare it to other cars in its class it's very exciting to drive too. And I get about 28-30MPG hwy out of my 1.8T.
Definitely try to find a CPO car that has the extra warranty. So far mine's only had one coil pack go bad in the year of ownership (17K miles). I carry a spare.
The only modification I've done is an RNS-E navigation with XM radio and a few VAG-COM tweaks. I'm very happy with the car.
(Tow hook is there because some douche stole my cover. I've replaced it since)
