The '09 A4 is much roomier then previous years (I know this from the loaner cars I've driven). I do recommend the prestige package. If you have your hands full of kids it'll be useful to not have to dig around for keys to open the door (just walk up and open it with the key in your pocket). The audio systems with the Prestige is also WAY better (Bang & Olfsen). I think these two features alone make it worth it. There's also other features... but I forget what they are. Additionally, there are some options that are only available with the Prestige (i.e. sports package).
 
The only other car you listed that I liked was the Acura TL, but not the new one, the older ones, I hate the grille on the new one. The tsx just didn't have enough torque for me (the 2.0T A4 has 258 lbs of torque, it really picks up).
 
I think you can get the car for $500 over invoice, if not invoice exactly.

Invoice pricing by gocolts1

Just to add to the pile, I got the car at $500 over invoice for an avant premium plus... One dealer claimed his "actual cost" was significantly more than invoice, and settled at $1000 less than msrp. Another accepted $500 over invoice, and in this case invoice was IDENTICAL to edmunds, which was the first I've seen someone report that. Usually people get told that the true invoice is more than edmunds.
Someday I will get used to paying this much for a 4 cylinder!

I purchased the Premium Plus package and its what I would suggest unless you have the considerable amount of extra cash the Prestige is going to cost you. I've listened to both sound systems and the one included in the Premium Plus is excellent.
 
As for deals, I also negotiated to invoice price. I've also heard that the lease on this car is going to get more expensive starting in November. The current money factors and residual were set prior to the last several months and thus haven't been adjusted.

09 Avant cargo area really 17.3 cu. ft? by dtmcgarry

Hello,
 
I've been car shopping for a while and have narrowed it down to 2 cars-- well, almost 2: various flavors of '09 Subaru Outback, and the '09 A4 Avant. These are very different cars, but among AWD wagons, I liked them the best.
 
My question is, does the 09 Avant really only have 17.3 cu ft of space with the seats up, or is that some sort of mistake? When I test-drove each car, I looked in the back, and the Audi looked almost as big as the Subaru to me-- I guess the raking of the C/D pillars on the Avant is so extreme that I didn't notice how relatively short in height the back space was, even though it was plenty long/wide-looking? The Outback, by comparison, offers 33.5 cu ft, and looks it too-- that could be a huge difference.
 
Audi's own site, like Edmunds.com, reports 17.3. The only other figure I found was on the EPA site (http://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/Detailsresult.do?vehicle_ID=23424), which gives the Avant 27.6 cu ft-- a more visually believable number. But now I don't trust my eyes.
 
Is Audi calculating this figure differently than Subaru? Does anyone here have any insight into whether the behind-the-seats space in the Avant is really that small (and smaller than the '08!)?
 
thank you

This is no doubt a better version A4 ('09) than than '08. This new A4 got my attention versus the the previous years. The exterior and interior is way better looking. Bigger is better in this case. Can't wait the see it on the street and in person.

I am talking to dealers in the Bay Area, CA, surprisingly the first offers I received are at invoice, I havn't started negotiating yet, an
A4 2.0
Premium Plus
Leather uphostery costs
 
about 38,000 MSRP, invoice price is 35,725 4.9% financing another dealer has offered me a 35,000 price. I am wondering if I should play a bit more and wait till mid december, What do you think about the interest rate? is it high or low?
 
About the car,
 
I test drove the A4 its a fairly quick machine, very light, nice turns, beautiful interior, can feel more space in the back, the LEDs are sweet, a comparable car would be a 328i will be driving one this weekend.

I would get the Prestige, because it's the only way to get Drive Select, and the Bang & Olufsen stereo is awesome.

You can get this car at invoice. I paid $150 below invoice, and one dealer offered me $500 under invoice, but only for a car which was already on his lot.
