Replying to: salexand (Apr 30, 2009 12:26 pm) I suggest looking into an orthopedic or Temperpedic cushion for a bad back I have had much more jarring rides on prior cars, including my 2006 Infiniti M35X. My concern is flats and wheel damage from the great looking low profile 18" wheels with costly summer tires. It also is dropped 19 centimeters (3/4") lower and could bottom out. I need snow tires or all-seasons to get through the NY winters. Maybe a spare set of wheels too. Because of those concerns I am not sure I would have ordered the sports package again. I may have looked at the Prestige with 18" wheels and bought an after market Nav for $300.00 to cut back costs there. The 2009 Audi Nav. is primitive. Backup camera is great though. Dealer tried to sell me wheel & tire coverage. I am still mulling that over. I have to study the exclusions. I had two Lexus/Camry based ES sedans in 2000 and 1997. My mother-in-law liked to ride in them and hated my brother-in-law's BMW 750. Sadly she has passed. Now passenger ride comfort is no issue for me. If back problems are an overriding concern an ES would be a good choice. The standard A4 with a seat cushion or custom seat may also be considered. My 28 year old step daughter drove the A4 this morning and was thrilled. Her last car was a 2006 Jetta GLI. |

Replying to: art234 (Apr 26, 2009 9:17 am) You are correct. Several bill are pending in the NY Assembly to require inspection for unlawful widow tint, increased penalties, and raising light transmission to 90% from 70%. They also seek an appropriation for buying $50,000 for window tint meters. This is a reaction to an officer being killed when approaching a tinted vehicle. http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?by=k&qs=window+tint Now that the economy is bad, window tint fines are a perfect source for a new revenue stream. Thanks for the advice. Barry |

I was wondering if anyone had the same issue. I have a 2009 A4 w/ almost 9000 miles and had a squealing coming from the car for a couple months and brought to Audi and finally was told it was the water pump and would be replaced. I thought this was kind of soon especially with a brand new car! Any one else hear of this problem with the new 09 or have the similar problem? Thanks! Also my oil light keeps coming on that oil is low! Just had the oil and maintenance done at around 5500 miles. Any remarks? |

When it is cool enough out not to need the A/C but yet you want/need some air, try this. Tilt open the sunroof and open the opposite side rear window a couple of inches. You'll get great circulation with minimal noise and draft. (Caveat: this is only good for the driver and not necessarily front or other passenger(s).) |
