The dealer where I get my 2003 A4 1.8 FrontTrak serviced was having an introductory show today for the new A4. Nothing but A4's in the showroom and three out front for test drives. I test drove the 2.0 sedan. I loved the way it drove, rode and handled. But in showroom, they had the Avant. Even better in person than the photos. I don't need a wagon but I think it looks great. I didn't price shop because I'm not buying until January when my daughter gets her license and I'll let her drive the 2003. We have 4 Audi dealers around Cleveland. Should be interesting to see if any are doing deals once the novelty has worn off. Also, I want to drive the new TL before I decide. Has anyone else checked out the Avant? I'm not sure how much availibility there is. When I want one I'll have the flexibility to order it. |

Anyone know what the money factor is for a 36 month lease on the A4 Prem Plus? 57% residual as stated above? I am trying to work up a deal with dealer now. |

Replying to: bmwx330 (Sep 20, 2008 12:22 pm) I had some really stupid issues with my first two A4's. But in August of '05 I bought number three, a 2 liter, manual, sports suspension... and chipped it at 1k miles. Now just over three years later, the car has yet to even sqeak or rattle in the winter... just scheduled service stops (although I do 5 k oil changes). Gas mileage on trips is > 35 miles per gallon. I even manage > 31 mpg with a kayak on the roof. Just drove the '09 Avant and it is mighty nice looking. The only thing that has stopped me from ordering one is that it is auto only. I just can't see spending $$ for a friggin' auto, even if it is a nice auto (much better than the previous auto). Anyhow, I suspect that the quality of new Audis is now probably as good as anything built in Korea. |

Would anyone know if the A4-2009 2.0T has a rear seat safety curtain as standard equipment. The sales brochure online is vague. I do realize that a rear seat air bag is extra. Thanks, Steve

MSRP: 43,800 Model: 8K256l - PRESTIGE, Nav, Prem Plus, so on 2500 down, 540 a month for 36 months ( 10k ) miles a year Sorry I didnt get the full print out of the quote Dil |

Replying to: hammer760 (Sep 12, 2008 2:47 pm) I test drove both the 2.0 T and the 3.2, and enjoyed the acceleration on the 2.0 a lot more. The 3.2's torque doesn't kick in until about 3000 RPM and so felt a little family-car like to me. I vote for the 2.0 engine. The car's handling is amazing, just very tight. I bought white with a black interior, which looks better without wood trim. However, I saw a red with beige interior, that looked fabulous with the blonde wood. The only thing that is disappointing on the 2.0 is that the tail pipes are both on the same side, and NOT chromed. I can't figure why they didn't chrome them. Does anyone know if you can have that done by the dealership? Should arrive in port in mid October. Can't wait to get it, and get on a windy road. |

Replying to: carsonotk (Sep 22, 2008 8:58 pm) Funny you mention the exaust not being chromed as that's one of the first things I noticed as well. I would think there will be an after market kit for the chrome tips. One nice thing about the Avant though is that the exaust is split and not on the same side.
