I've spent a lot of time in (and driving) my gf's '03 A4 1.8T Quattro. I drive an '03 9-3SS Linear. Oh, her's is a slushbox, while I have the manual. To be honest, I really don't like her car as much as I think I whould. It's nice and all, but as others have said, not as well made as first glance tells you. 9-3 seats are much more comfortable, interior is a little better on the A4, but there are things about the 9-3 that I like better (less complicated layout being #1).
It's no competition when you drive them though, and I've tried to use that tiptronic to get all I can out of that motor, but the A4 is a complete dog compared to my 9-3. On long trips, I prefer the Saab to the Audi without a doubt. The Saab is peppier at highway speeds, and has a much better driving feeling. Where the Audi floats on the road, the Saab is very crisp.
Drive both and decide for yourself, however my reccomendation is get the 9-3SS. You'll be very happy.
