The 2008 Audi A4 Sedan is a full-blooded sport sedan with all the accoutrements
necessary for the title. Whether you choose the 2.0T, the 3.2T, or the S-line
package, the power is there, as is the luxury. The 2.0T comes with a
turbocharged 2.0Liter 200hp 4-cylinder engine that is surprisingly wiry. The
3.2T offers a 3.1Liter 265hp V6 that will also throw you around the track. Both
engines come with a choice of 6-speed manual or 7-speed automatic. The third
trim level, the S-Line adds a sport suspension package, and spoiler, Oh, a
420-hp 4.2-liter V8 engine.
The 3.2 trim level adds quality touches to its interior, including fine leather
upholstery and wood accents. Even if you choose the base 2.0T, expect an array
of power features such as door locks, windows, and climate control. Add a
moonroof and cruise control and you have the makings of a true entry level
luxury car. Even id power door locks, tilt, telescoping steering column, and
cruise control seem ordinary, the Audi A4 sedan has a few aces up its sleeve.
When compared with two or three of its closest competitors, things look pretty
similar, except for the 2008 Audi A4 sedan's Quattro 4-wheel drive. With years
of experience perfecting its drive train, Audi can just sit and let the Quattro
do its thing. Nothing else comes close, is so seamless, so trouble-free.
Combined with the A4's anti-lock brakes, multilink suspension, and stability
control system, critics are hard-pressed to find anything better.
At 22mpg city and 31mpg highway, the base 2.0T Audi A4 sedan is a strong balance
between performance, luxury, and sensibility. This is especially true
considering that the A4 has segment leading safety ratings. With its front side,
driver side, passenger side airbags, Audi is confident that its Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety ratings will be as solid for 2008 as they were in
2007. |
