2011 audi a4 Review

The Audi A4 first bowed it has been known as the car with the beautiful interior. This is true today, but impressive limits not only to win battles in sales. Last year, Audi sold 34 672 A4s in the placing the car somewhere in the middle of the hard-premium small car market. That number was enough to make the Lexus IS and Acura TSX above, but the A4 behind the Mercedes-Benz C-Class (58 785 and the BMW 3 Series.

According to these figures, Audi's German rivals have a better understanding of what makes it tick segment. But with each new generation of the audi A4, the folks at Ingolstadt are slowly but surely, that those car manufacturers a reason to look in their rearview mirror. The entry-level sedan, we have had recently spent a week in the test is a perfect example. We have always been fans of the modern A4, plain sheet. This model was Audi Brilliant Red paint and the Titanium.

Sport package, the 19-inch-containing five-spoke wheels and black trim accents. The combination was a looker, and mate for the driver of the sleek coupe A5, the A4 platform. The $ 2000 Sport package also includes high-performance summer tires, sports---additional reinforcement for the front seats three-spoke steering wheel and black interior trim pieces. It is a must-have option, in our books. Our tester also had the $ 3,400 Premium plus Package, which includes such niceties Audi's signature strips of LED baling, Xenon headlights, Bluetooth, tri-zone automatic climate control.

Better yet, this tester with the six-speed manual gearbox was fitted. Before we get into the fun part, we should mention some remarkable changes since we last tested audi A4 in 2009.

 The six-speed automatic transmission gives way to a CVT unit for front-wheel-drive model, while the Audi A4 Quattro gets the new eight-speed transmission. Audi also nixed the 3.2-liter naturally aspirated V-6 that brings out 265 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque.

This means that the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine rated 211 hp and four 258 lb-ft of sole workhorse for the A4. This is not surprising since Audi was never shy with forced induction engines and the more expensive V-6 was not so much better than the four-banger.

As we've said many times, Audi 2.0T is one of the best four-cylinder engines. He sips fuel (our tester’s rated EPA track performance also translates well in the real world in spirited driving in and around Malibu Canyon Road.

The A4 never felt underpowered (again, as long as the engine was in the mid-range vocals And steering was precise, if a little light. But throttle response was a bit leggy, especially when blipping the throttle when downshifting. We suspect Audi Drive Select would have helped. Our long-term A4 Avanti the $ 2950 system, the suspension , steering had dynamic and responsive fit. The system is only available to advance with the flagship Prestige Package, the Navigation, Bang & Loosen Sound Audi key, and Blind Spot and Rear supplemented backup monitors. The setup costs $ 47,375 compared to $ 39,255 price tag on our tester. Also puts you only $ 800 away from the $ 48,175 base price of an S4, the more macho-Quattro with the supercharged, 333-horsepower V-6. (This is where the seller tells you your monthly payments
