A4 makes a good rental car, no doubt, it's like a german camry, upscale, but not too much so. Efficient & safe...

I had a '15 a4 loaner recently and found it quite slow, especially getting up to highway speeds, if in D. Keeping it in DS and adjusting to the engine's laggy turbo character (I owned this engine for four years, so I know how to work with it), it's far from slow. Sure it's no s4, but I can also feel the slightly lighter nose advantage of the a4. Non-sport a4 overall handles worse/softer but it rides a lot better, unless you get dynamic suspension on the s4.
