I have the 2009 2.0 Front Trak model. If you put the transmission in Drive it's a bit sluggish, but has phenomenal fuel economy. If you put the tranny in "S" the car is way quick. You have to be sure you have room in front of you when you step on it.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good SoCal Audi Dealer?? I have tried to work with Keyes and Rusnak and have not been happy with their service or lease deals on the A4. The best I could find so far is Rusnak with the following:
'09 A4 2.0, CVT, w/ 18" Sport Pkg, & Heated Seats
MSRP = $33,725
Down = $1250 ($750 Audi Loyalty + $500)
Term = 36 / 10k / .25 cents per mile over
Payment = $450 (inclusive of CA tax)
I couldn't get any more information out of them like the money factor or residual...
Any comments or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Can someone tell me how much oil is represented from the top to the bottom of the oil level bar graph display? This would be helpful to know in topping up without over filling.

I have received the quote of $31,500 OTD for 2009 Audi A4 with bluetooth and 6,000 miles. Is this deal good?

You have to ask yourself, why already is this 2009 car pre-owned? Do you have a Carfax report on it?

What is the difference between the CVT and the 'standard' automatic that are available in the 2009 model?

A constant velocity transmission (CVT) has no discreet gears. There is no shifting, just a changing of the gear ratio up or down as the circumstances demand. Motor scooters have used this type of transmission for years. Nissan uses it in many of its vehicles. Because there are in effect an infinite number of gears, the transmission can always be in the best ratio for power or economy. This results in excellent fuel economy. On a recent 650 mile round trip I got 35 mpg running at 70 on Interstates. On the A4 the drive selection (D) is best for economy. The sport (S) selection allows higher rpm's in any given situation that involves acceleration which allows more power. There is also a manual setting which allows the driver to shift up or down among 8 simulated gear ratios. I normally use the drive setting which results in a very smooth ride with no apparent shifting. It's like an electric motor.

FYI, CVT stands for continuously variable transmission - in case the neighbors ask.

Thanks! My bad. We use acronyms so much that the original meaning gets lost.
