I like my coupe, but then I've never been in a Z06. I DO like my rear compartment space...big enough to carry two sets of golf clubs. The only thing I would change is I would like a 6 speed instead of A4. I think it depends on what you want out of the car. I don't race mine and could care less if an Fbody or Zbody or anybody beat me. Just my .02

Drive both on the freeway...listen to the tire noise on both...and you HAVE to decide which body style you like the best. For me, the coupe's sleekness wins --- hands down.
When you add in the storage room and the ability to take the roof off on those 'special' days that only adds to its appeal....of course, I've got 3.73's with my A4 and a high stall speed....so the accelaration WAS important to me to.
If you want an A4, then you have no choice. Do you do a lot of commute-type driving while being stuck in traffic? The 6 speed can be a pain....
As someone said above....if you are planning to mod your car, you are probably better off with the coupe...staying stock? get the Z...IF you like that body style.

I'd go for the best. That's right, hold out for an 04 Commerative Edition Coupe.
