I looked very hard at a 2001 used Audi A4 Quattro as an all-year car. It was a beautiful car - drove beautifully, handled beautifully, the interior was almost perfect. But then I started reading an Audi BBS, and hearing things about control arms cracking or rusting, interior bits and windows that stop working, etc. got me a little concerned. I already have an expensive car to maintain - I don't need another one. And coming from your present situation, it doesn't sound like you need another one either.
I ended up going with a 2004 Honda CRV. It drives like a car, has lots of room for being as small as it is, and goes like nothing else in the snow. Oh yeah, and it's a Honda.
The new 2005 CRVs are even nicer. It doesn't show up on a lot of people's radar screens, but just go and test one. The test drive made a believer out of me.
