Audi a4 iv b8 specifications. Sedan Audi A4 of the fourth generation in the back of B8. Weaknesses of the car

Sales market: Russia.

The interior of the Audi A4 is primarily driver-oriented - the center console is rotated eight degrees so that all control functions are easily accessible, informative and comfortable. Depending on the version, standard equipment may include 16-inch or 17-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, full power accessories including power driver's seat, electronic handbrake. Many options are available - xenon headlights, fog lights, daytime running lights, sunroof, keyless entry system, three-zone climate control, MMI, 10-speaker audio system and six-disc CD / MP3 changer. The version with the most powerful 3.2 engine comes standard with leather upholstery, wood-look inserts, heated front seats, an electric front passenger seat and other premium features.

The petrol engines of the Audi A4 are equipped with FSI technology, which increases torque and output, as well as reduces fuel consumption (up to 15%) and reduces exhaust emissions. In FSI engines, fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber. This reduces internal heat loss as well as increases power and fuel consumption. The addition of turbocharging further improves efficiency. So, the 1.8 TFSI engine develops 170 hp, and the two-liter engine - 225 hp. Power 3.2 FSI V6 is 265 hp, but the most powerful version - 3.0 TFSI - has a return of 270 hp. The TDI engines use the latest generation Common Rail system. It has a maximum injection pressure of 1600 bar, which is 250 bar more than the previous generation Common Rail system. As a result, the output of the two-liter TDI has increased to 150 hp. This engine is the most optimal in terms of power and efficiency, but it is offered only for front-wheel drive versions, and for all-wheel drive - 3.0 TDI, whose power is 245 hp.

As for the design of the chassis, a double wishbone independent suspension with stabilizers is installed in front. The aluminum subframe for the front axle and engine is bolted firmly to the front of the vehicle so that the steering force is transmitted without delay. Rear suspension - multi-link independent with trapezoidal levers and carrier beam. The quattro all-wheel drive transmission, which can be fitted to the A4 independently of the engine, has not fundamentally changed in design, but it has undergone reconfiguration, as a result of which the car in this modification has become "a little" rear-wheel drive. When driving on a straight dry road, 60% of the torque is transferred to the rear axle. The reduction in weight (about 10%) and the optimization of the weight distribution also contributed to the improvement in driving performance.

The car body has become much stiffer and safer than its predecessor. As a result - five stars in the Euro NCAP standings, while in the previous body - only four. In frontal impact, the aluminum subframe effectively absorbs impact, the steering column can deform up to eight centimeters (3.15 inches), while the pedal assembly can be released from its mountings. The adaptive airbag control unit accurately calculates the deployment time by assessing the position of the passengers. The equipment includes front airbags, front side airbags, curtain airbags, a full set of active braking systems (anti-lock braking system, brake force distribution system, additional brake), electronic stability control system (ESP). As additional measures, the car could be retrofitted with adaptive headlights and a variety of assistants: parking, lane control and blind spots.

The Audi A4 demonstrates increased opportunities for dynamic driving, especially when it is an all-wheel drive modification, as well as a significant reduction in fuel consumption. The widespread use of forged aluminum parts in the design of both suspensions helps to reduce unsprung masses and is not at all so scary from the point of view of daily operation, although when buying a used car, it does not interfere with the suspension condition. A big plus of the model is a wide selection of engines depending on fuel and power, a generous offer for transmission (mechanics, robot, variator), front and four-wheel drive.

Audi A4 is one of the brightest representatives of the European D-class, or rather its premium segment. The first generation of the Audi A4 was released in the fall of 1994 and incorporated all the best from its predecessor, the Audi 80, known in the post-Soviet space under the name "barrel". For eighteen years, three generations of the Audi A4 have changed, a little history:
Audi A4 (B5) - 1994-2001, produced over 1,680,000 copies,
Audi A4 (B6) - 2001-2005, produced more than 1,200,000 copies,
Audi A4 (B7) - 2004-2007, produced over 1,000,000 copies,
Audi A4 (B8) - was shown in September 2007 in Frankfurt.

On the model of the penultimate reincarnation for today, often referred to as the Audi A4 2009 sedan by the year of release, we will stop our gaze. In 2012 saw the light - an updated version of the model. As of March 2011, A4 has surpassed the sales bar of 5 million units.

Body design

The designer of Audi AG Walter de Silva, from whose pen many beautiful cars came out (Alfa Romeo 147 and 156, Audi TT, Audi A6, Audi A5,) managed to create the Audi A4, which incorporates all the best features of the previous generations of A4, and made the car similar to the older models in the concern. Tradition, charisma, beauty - these are the main tags of the exterior of the latest generation of the Audi A4.

Reviewing the Audi A4 in an old body from any side, we can unmistakably say that this is Audi. At the front there is a trapezoidal radiator grill (a ridge from Audi), on the sides of which there are headlights with characteristic LED cilia. The front bumper with pronounced air intakes gives the car a formidable look of a predator aimed at devouring kilometers of roads. Fog lights are located on the sides of the front fairing. The sides of the body are devoid of newfangled ribs and look classically attractive. The back of the Audi A4 B8 is made according to all the canons of the company's corporate design and hints at more expensive representatives from Ingolstadt.

Dimensions (edit) Audi A4 sedan are: length - 4703 mm, width - 1826 mm, height - 1426 mm, base - 2808 mm.

Interior - interior filling and trim

The interior of the Audi A4 B8 is distinguished by its ergonomics, functionality, the highest quality materials used and the level of equipment. The decoration uses leather, wood, aluminum. Inside the cabin - the kingdom of luxury, as befits a premium car. The architecture of the torpedo, turning into a high tunnel, is monumental. The seats will suit even the most fastidious driver.

It is comfortable to sit in the front and on the second row and, what is important, it is not tiring on a long journey. To list all the bells and whistles present in the great-granddaughter of the "barrel" - it makes no sense, all that the soul desires.

Specifications

The installed Audi A4 engine can be one of the following options:

• the car is equipped with five petrol engines (1.8 TFSI for 120 hp or 160 hp, 2.0 TFSI for 180 hp or 211 hp, 3.2 FSI for 265 hp)
• and six diesel engines (3.0 TDI with 240 hp, 2.7 TDI with 190 hp, 2.0 TDI, depending on the settings, from 120 hp to 170 hp).

It can be equipped with a choice of one of three gearboxes: 6-speed manual gearbox or automatic gearbox (tiptronic), continuously variable variator (multitronic). The Audi A4 is available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive - quattro. The front suspension is five-link independent with a stabilizer, the rear is independent with a carrier beam and trapezoidal levers.

Price Audi A4 B8 in 2012

In Russia, the cost of the Audi A4 in the old body starts from 1,114,000 rubles for a car with a 1.8 TFSI engine with 120 hp. with mechanics, and rises to 1,892,900 rubles for a complete set with 3.0 TDI, 240 hp. with an S-tronik machine gun. Adding options will significantly raise the price of A4.
Advantages of the Audi A4 B8: classic design, refined handling, a huge selection of engines and trim levels.
Cons: high price, expensive options, demanding on fuel quality and maintenance.

The fourth generation of the Audi A4 began to be produced in 2008, and finished in 2015, while in 2011 the model was restyled. A4 2007-2015 was produced in two bodies Sedan (Sedan) and Station wagon (Avant). The range of power units of the B8 body is very wide: these are petrol 1.8TFSI (120, 160, 170hp), 2.0TFSI (180, 211, 225hp) 3.0TFSI (272hp) and 3.2FSI ( 265 l / force); and turbo diesel: 2.0TDI with different power settings (120, 143, 150, 170, 177, 190hp) 2.7TDI (190hp) and 3.0TDI (204, 240, 245hp).

The restyling of 2011 changed not only the interior of the cabin (the dashboard and center console were modified), the appearance (the design of the bumpers, radiator grilles changed slightly, headlights with trapezoidal LED running lights appeared), but also the line of engines changed. The 3.2FSI (CALA) engine dropped out of production, it was replaced by 3.0TFSI (CMUA, CRED). Also, instead of 1.8TFSI (CDHB) - 160 hp. and 250Nm of torque, they began to install an engine of the same volume, but with 170hp. (CAHA) and 320Nm of torque. The fuel consumption of all gasoline engines has decreased by 7-8%, to a greater extent this is the merit of the Start / Stop system and the appearance of an electromechanical power steering, which was not on the dorestyle. The line of diesel engines also underwent changes with the advent of restyling: There were 2 new turbodiesels with volumes of 2.0 liters. - 136 and 163 hp Instead of the top-end 2.0TDI with 170hp. and 350Nm of torque, came 2.0TDI with 177hp. and 380Nm. At the same time, the diesel turbo engines 1.8 - 120hp remained unchanged. and 2.0 - 143hp. Also in the lineup there are V6 turbodiesels with 204 and 245 horsepower. In addition, the changes in 2011 also affected the suspension - shifted the attachment points of the rear arms and reconfigured the shock absorbers.

Specifications Audi A4 B8

The model has not as many motors in the lineup as previous generations, but nevertheless there are enough of them and there are plenty to choose from. In total, there are 6 power units in the line, these are 4 gasoline and 2 diesel, let's talk about all in more detail.

The gearboxes are offered completely different, there are 6-speed mechanics, variators, as well as a 7-speed S-Tronic robot. The drive of a car can also be different, there are front-wheel drive versions, and there are versions with the quattro all-wheel drive system.

In terms of reliability, all motors have it, and in particular, previous versions have it, so if you want to buy a used old version, you can safely take a car with a mileage of 200,000 kilometers. In terms of speed, even the first generation engines have the characteristics that budget class cars now have, while the first generation used is cheaper than a new budget class car.

Price Audi A4 B8

As for the cost, the situation is as follows, the models are offered on the secondary market at completely different prices. Sellers are asking from 800,000 rubles and reach 2 million rubles.

Recall Audi A4 1.8 TFSI (Audi A4) 2010

It's time to write a review about your Audi A4. Both good and bad have accumulated. What is more, good or bad, I have not yet understood. I became the owner about six months ago. Before that, I drove a Renault Megan 2, Extreme 2 grade. I can't say anything bad about the renoshka, moreover, if it weren't for the case, I wouldn't even change it for an Audi. And it turned out like this: a friend was leaving on a long business trip to another country, and there was nowhere to put the car. In the end, I got it. At that time, there was a run of 50400km. Car in the back of B8, black, pre-styling, December 2010. 1.8 turbo 160 l / s, variator. The car was operated carefully, everything was done on time. He himself was a repeated witness.

Outwardly, the car is 5 points, with running lights-cilia looks very predatory. The interior is also not bad: solid plastic, everything is fitted exactly, no cracks and distortions. But! With the plastic in the area where the headlights are turned on, the Ingolstadt have messed up great. There is no such shitty and squeaky plastic even in Logan)) This is probably so that life does not seem like honey.

Strengths:

• Big black car with a predatory squint of headlights
• Excellent assertive acceleration

Weaknesses:

• • Eats butter
  • Regular gasoline - 98
  • High sensitivity to fuel
  • The high cost of maintenance at the office. dealer

Recall Audi A4 Avant 1.8 TFSI (Audi A4) 2014

Good afternoon! All with the past holidays and the ongoing weekend!

Once again, I noted for myself that the best car is the first one. You start comparing all other cars, looking for and often finding little things to find fault with. So it is with Audi.

Audi A4 avant. We have been together for almost 5 months and 6500 km. There have never been runs of more than 20 tkm per year on my cars, and in this case, apparently, it will not work anymore either. But I hope that this car will stay with me for more than 2 years. This is at least facilitated by the current euro rate .. But let's not talk about the sore point. By the way, it turned out that I added rubles quite well - in August, Audi cost me 1.25 million. I don't think that I would have had enough financial sense to buy a #European in time and skim the cream off by the end of the year.

Strengths:

• Dynamics
• Build quality

Weaknesses:

• Insurance price
• Wipers and everything connected with them

The car is simply gorgeous, especially, in my opinion, for a girl (a combination of a variator and a 1.8l turbo engine) - the car in drive mode goes very smoothly, starting from the start and without spinning, it calmly picks up the desired speed (moreover, quite quickly, if you press on the pedal harder). In sport mode, the character of the car changes dramatically, the variator ceases to pretend to be a broom: emitting a "normal" automatic machine, very briskly turns the revs and switches to an overdrive in the region of 6000 rpm. But at the same time, everything is very stable and economical! I would like to say a separate word about the accelerator pedal - it has 2 steps, it is not felt right away, but having driven the car for a while you begin to notice that the car starts to pick up speed much faster, when passing a certain degree of pressing the pedal (about 50-60% ).

It also proved itself very well in winter, front-wheel drive holds the road well (I drove a spiked hackapelite 8). There is something to compare with —mercedes clc 180, the back has its own life and at a speed of 100 km / h it became scary on the Moscow Ring Road ...

In general, I am very pleased with the car, it makes me happy every day))

Strengths:

• The car is assembled very high quality
• Noise isolation is excellent
• Economy is also very, very

Weaknesses:

• Of course, the only thing the car lacks is a quattro ...

Recall Audi A4 1.8 TFSI (Audi A4) 2013

Audi A4, 2013 Bought new in Moscow.

We bought this car for my wife after they had been using the new Mini Cooper Countryman for a year. They took Minik to trade-in and took this beauty away, paying 200 thousand rubles.

Why did we do this? Because Countryman was not for us. We liked him very much, but it lasted no more than 2 months. Everything about him was fun, perky, unusual! Unfortunately, we could not get used to this miracle. The suspension is rigid, there is relatively little space, and the controls are not ergonomic. Although, again, the car is very positive. But it is better to be touched by her from the outside than to own. By the way, on the road, Cooper was not taken seriously, he was periodically cut off and not allowed to pass.

Strengths:

• Manufacturability and prestige of the brand

Weaknesses:

• Soft rear shock absorbers
• Poor basic fabric interior

Review Audi A4 2.0 TFSI quattro (Audi A4) 2012

I own a car Audi A4. I'll start with why the choice fell on this particular device:

1. We live in the Russian Federation - to improve safety (and just to enjoy driving in winter - especially in quattro, but more on that later), four-wheel drive is needed.

2. Automatic transmission, before that there was a Mashka 6 machine: a hatch body, a volume of 2.5 liters, a power of 170 hp, a manual transmission - the machine was good and practical, in the maximum configuration, but I wanted more and at the time of the sale of the machine at all I did not want to "enter the winter on the front wheel drive" and poke around on the mechanics in traffic jams around the city.

Strengths:

Pros of the car:

• 2.0 TFSI engine - the engine "ate" 1.5 liters of oil for almost 10,000 km (with an active driving mode) - this is very little, pulls from the bottom, there is no turbo lag, the torque is 350 Nm, for a gasoline engine it is worthy, of course, not 700 Nm, like a diesel Range, but audyushka enough for the eyes
• S-tronic - I understand that the mileage is small, but there are no complaints today, the drawback is noted above. Pros - "shoots gears like a machine gun", the gearshift speed is fast, the two clutches do their job. Works at a high level in various driving modes. Understands the driver perfectly. S-tronic's instant reaction to the operation of the gas pedal. 3 operating modes: drive, sport, mechanics. Drive mode is enough for me. In sport mode - the blood boils in the veins from the drive, the car provokes a super active driving style
• Engineering - that's why everyone loves the Germans, points 1 + 2 (engine and s-tronis) do not just work, they give pleasure to the driver, the Japanese and other amphibians in terms of engineering to work, work and work again
• Steering wheel - minimal effort for steering turns "at zero", with active driving the steering wheel becomes heavier - the car feels perfect
• "Shumka", grade 5

Weaknesses:

Cons of the car:

• During operation in the summer, these are 18 disks and tires, as I wrote above, the car becomes stiff. The wheel of Pirelli Centurino 245/40 struck, in Samara I found only 1 cylinder, the cost of 11,000 rubles is not a cheap pleasure (yes, the officials "made me happy" "they gave a price tag of 21,000 rubles for the factory wheel, the delivery time is 5 days").
• Little space for rear passengers, little space in the trunk (the car is suitable for singles or for a small family)
• Gasoline consumption 15 liters per 100 km. (city operation)
• The engine stalls when the driver's door is opened - this option is "embedded" in the car, for safety reasons
• Personally, the smell inside the car suits me, but my wife complains that the interior smells unpleasantly of leather seats
• The ground clearance is 165, but this is not enough (you can't go off-road, you need to drive carefully on country roads), I think for me the diesel Q5 in the future will solve the problem with the low clearance of A4

Review of Audi A4 2.0 TFSI (Audi A4) 2012

I welcome everyone! I will not describe how I chose the car and what the choice was made from, I will briefly describe the car, which choice fell on and which one was purchased.

I waited for a car for 3.5 months from Germany, I ordered it from a dealer, a car for a promotion, 2 s-line packages were a gift, in general, everything turned out 1700, added a couple of little things, for a promotion 1650. I barely waited, the months went like years! I am completely satisfied with the car, I need to eat everything, the dynamics of the car is awesome, in sport mode the car picks up so much that you start to think that these are not 4 pots, but all 6, well 6.5 to a hundred declared, I think it's true.

The build quality is excellent, the finish is impeccable, the ergonomics are all convenient, everything is comfortable, the dashboard is very nra, so I'm bastard in the evening. With four-wheel drive, the buzz in winter, I go wherever I want and when I want, high ground clearance, I climb the curbs calmly. The size of the car suits, not cramped, even at first I felt like in business class.

Strengths:

• Appearance
• Dynamics
• Build quality
• Large ground clearance
• Four-wheel drive

Weaknesses:

• Prices for audi and additional options!

Review Audi A4 1.8 TFSI (Audi A4) 2012

The car was bought in St. Petersburg in the summer of 2012 at the Audi Center Petersburg. There is nothing special to say, a good salon, polite managers, everything that needs to be told and shown. Test Drive was not ordered, the car was bought for me (for a girl), this is my first own car, so there is nothing to compare with. We also watched the Toyota Camry - I liked it very much, the Mazda 6 - there was no new then, but which it was, it seemed certainly not for a million rubles, for which it was sold. But it’s probably in the Eurosib showroom, the managers don’t care about anyone, the sample car is clearly not the most popular configuration, all shabby, etc., in general, they had a better opinion of Mazda. And we looked at Opel Insignia - everything is fine, but the gloomy manager said that we can buy a car only of Russian assembly, but I would like something "imported"))) I don't like the design of a Mercedes of class C, in my opinion it loses to Audi, BMW 3 -ka pushed back with a rear-wheel drive, Russian production and the cost of Casco. Accordingly, I chose Audi for its beautiful (personally my opinion, many may disagree) appearance, high ground clearance, front-wheel drive (I mean that for me the front is better than the rear, not full), inexpensive hull insurance and a discount in the cabin from a friend who recently bought an A6 from them.

We waited for the typewriter for almost 4 months, it arrived in the fall. Arrived on Perelli tires. Of the options ordered electrically folding mirrors, front parking sensors, 17 wheels and keyless entry. We wanted to order a tire pressure sensor, but the manager convinced me, said honestly that an unnecessary option on 17 wheels, they are not very low-profile, and if suddenly something, it will be noticeable, the sensor is not needed for this. The mirrors were set up so that when they were closed, they fold themselves, no need to press any buttons, I also did not regret the wheels, they look much more spectacular than size 16. Keyless access is very convenient, I didn't even expect it! You can open the door with a touch of your hand, start the car by pressing a button, the key is always in the bag.

Strengths:

• Appearance
• NOT REAR DRIVE
• Low fuel consumption
• Inexpensive Casco

Review of Audi A4 1.6 (Audi A4) 2008

I own a new Mercedes S-200K for about a year. In general, I am satisfied with the car, although there are some complaints about ergonomics and comfort. I left a review here earlier. But since I change cars every year, I studied the information on the new Audi A-4 with interest. I did not consider the A-6, since I do not see the need for city driving to have a car about 5 meters long. Yes, and a quick change of model is to be (as well as the E-class and BMW 5 series). The day before yesterday I conducted a test drive of the new A-4 2.0 liter, turbodiesel, on the machine. Outwardly, the car looks, of course, very nice. And the size for the city is very suitable. Not small and not very large (4.70 length, 1.82 width in my opinion).

Inside, everything is done with high quality and soundly. Although the combined seat upholstery was not pleasant. And the Russified display can be obtained only on request as an option. But I would not say that A-4 is fundamentally better. Not at all. And in terms of comfort and driving performance, I concluded that Mercedes is clearly better. When driving the new A-4, the diesel engine is heard quite clearly. Especially when accelerating hard. Engine pickup is good, takes from the bottom, accelerates well.

The steering wheel seemed a little empty. The manager says it gets heavier at speed, but there was nowhere to experience it. The suspension is balanced, but unnecessarily stiff. On irregularities and bumps, it shakes perceptibly. The machine is controlled easily, the machine works adequately, the devices are read normally. Overall, the car is good. But still, objectively and impartially evaluating these 2 brands, I would give preference to Mercedes. The price of cars is comparable in these configurations (about 1.5 million rubles). And despite all the efforts of the manager, he refused to buy a new A-4.

Review of Audi A4 2.6 (Audi A4) 1971

Machine A4 (S4) 1996 onwards with a 2.6 liter V6 engine. Drove from Germany in the fall of 2006 with a mileage of 180,000.

I chose her for practical reasons:

• Medium-sized passenger car;
• Front-wheel drive (actual in winter);
• The best anticorrosive body among competitors;
• The best interior materials among competitors;
• Service availability;
• Selection of spare parts in stock (original and non-original);
• etc.

I didn’t see so many advantages in any brand.

Engine 2.6 was chosen deliberately. The car is not bulky. I think this is the optimal motor for him. Power is 150 HP, thrust is 210 Nm, there are no turbines, there is no huge heap of valves and camshafts. From my experience of one and a half years of operation, I can say that the real consumption of gasoline is as follows:

I bought my swallow (A4 1.8T) in September 2006 after I got off the B4 Audyuhi (it was not killed). As expected, it was replaced: timing belt with a roller, belts, fluids, oils - about 12,000 rubles. with spare parts. Prepared to wait for breakdowns, before that there were basins (07, 08, 09), Audi does not count, just from old memory.

Skated 9,000 km, changed the oil, put xenon. I wanted to take a set of front suspension arms - 8000 rubles, then changed my mind and did the right thing. For 40,000 runs, only ONE has been changed! upper arm (1700r), although I often collect the curb in traffic jams. And let the spiteful critics not lie about the weak suspension, it is a tribute to handling (like on rails).

The turbine is a THING! At revs from 3000 to 6000, you can overtake 3-liter "crocodiles" and not only. In the salon for 150 you can whisper. I went to St. Petersburg (7.5 hours, and then stood near Klin at night), to Samara (10 hours) - for pleasure (if not for the sellers of striped sticks - $ 100).

Strengths:

• Appearance (timeless design)
• Prestige of the brand
• Noise isolation at height
• Everything for people
• Maintainability

Weaknesses:

• No leather interior and no four-wheel drive

Review of Audi A4 (Audi A4) 2002

AUDI A4 1.6 2002 (the penultimate model) was intended for his beloved wife, bought in 2003 in the fall, left for more than a year, so there is something to tell. I myself go to the 2002 TOYOTA CUMRI. Before that I went to AUDI B4 1.6 1996, my wife and, frankly, I just fell in love with this car, which consisted of some advantages, probably a lot has already been written about, so we will not repeat ourselves (if someone has only 3000-4000 dollars ., buy without thinking). It's about A4.

In this regard, the choice of the brand simply did not stand as soon as a suitable option appeared (2002, warranty, mileage 33000 km; mileage is accurate, because this car was bought in the same store as a new one and its whole history before our eyes, I advise many people to buy whenever possible car from the same dealers where it was bought new, it's all real). During the year, the mileage was another 30,000 km, the car drove every day in winter and summer. No matter what they say, the design is just cool, even the new model loses. Driving performance is excellent, AUDI is not just a car, you get pleasure from the drive itself, on weekends I liked to take AUDIUHU just to ride for pleasure, and this is with a 1.6 engine, more on that later.

ESP, ABS, KLIMA brakes were installed only once and the settings did not change throughout the year, music, soundproofing of the cabin, instruments - everything is great, thought out, beautiful, modern, what is the lighting of the instruments ... just class. On the road, the higher the speed, the better, the car is rooted to the spot. We drove it across Ukraine and just got there when the AIM was disbanded, the Kiev-Odessa highway is just class, so it drove all the way at a speed of 170-180 km / h, the car behaved just fine, the Germans know a lot about this. There is not much space in the back, but quite enough for people up to 190 cm in height. The motor is very economical, but rather weak for the city, it is necessary to get under way in traffic jams from the first gear skillfully, therefore I advise the 2.0l engine.

Strengths:

• Design
• Driving performance
• Ergonomics of water places

Weaknesses:

• Unreliability in expensive little things

Review of Audi A4 (Audi A4) 1998

I got a foreign car in the fall of 2004. For a long time I could not decide on the brand and model. At that time, he had 10,000 American rubles, and he planned to meet this framework. What kind of cars I didn’t see, I climbed the markets for 3 months, trying to find “my” car. Golf seemed cramped (before that I drove a GAZ 3110), and the trunk is far from the most roomy, for a long time I looked closely at the BMW 3 Series, but after one trip in a friend's car (BMW 320i) on our Moscow roads, I said NO to myself! No, the car itself is great, but the ground clearance ... Delightfully striking 2 times with the belly of the "speed bumps" (and this with 2 passengers in the cabin) decided that this car was not for me.

Opel Vectra and several Japanese were also on the list of contenders. I climbed all these cars up and down, but for some reason I always found something that did not suit me - either the gearshift knob was inconveniently located, the range of steering and seat adjustments did not allow me to comfortably sit in the driver’s seat, I also found many other insignificant ones with my the point of view of the cons. For a long time I did not pay attention to Audi, for some reason I thought that they were very expensive both in price and in service. But then I decided to take a closer look at this brand as well. I opened a newspaper and immediately came across a suitable ad - for $ 11,000 they offered A4 1.6 1998 with climate control, e-mail. glasses and mirrors, alarms, multilocks and a fairly tolerable radio tape recorder with a CD changer, an amplifier and a subwoofer. I went to look.

I got into this car and realized - this is IT. Here's what I've been looking for! I realized that I no longer need anything but A4. The quality of the interior is excellent, the seat is comfortable, all controls are in place and at hand. The back sofa seemed very comfortable, but only for 2, the three of us are frankly cramped on it. I don't know what came over me, but I decided to buy this particular car. Neither minor defects in the body, nor the mileage of 152,000, nor the fact that the car drove through Moscow all its life, nor even the fact that it was immediately clear that I would have to change the rear struts and the left steering rod, did not stop me. I just wanted exactly Audi and that day. After long trades, the price was dropped to $ 10,300. In general, by the evening of that day, a new inhabitant appeared in my garage. Now I understand that I was in a hurry and for the same money it would have been possible to find a better typewriter, but I do not regret what I have done. Immediately replaced the timing belt, candles (640 rubles), oil and steering rod (1900 rubles). I didn’t change counters due to lack of free cash. I also had to splurge on a set of winter tires (12,000 rubles).

Convenience of location and boarding of the driver and passengers. A driver of any height, even in a small AUDI A4, feels at ease and does not rest against the ceiling or knees against the dashboard. The seats have several adjustment angles, which undoubtedly disposes of peace of mind when driving such a car. The high-quality interior materials are admired and satisfied even after years. Well thought out arrangement of instruments, buttons, intuitive and accessible arrangement of control levers. Nothing superfluous, everything is only necessary so much that you do not notice the presence of this or that option, its presence seems natural and inalienable. The shape of the body, aerodynamics, sound insulation, which are quite important for the driver when traveling long distances, are approved by the body shape.

The car is made for the driver and passengers, and I do not argue that cars of other brands have no worse characteristics and some models accelerate 1.2 seconds faster, have a more powerful engine, but it seems to me that this is not so important. When traveling on our roads, stability and controllability are important, and this cannot be taken away from the AUDI A4. The power of a 2-liter or 1.8T engine is enough to easily accelerate the car. The combination of a well-designed suspension arm and front-wheel drive gives excellent stability at high speeds. The cross-country ability of these cars is almost like that of SUVs, the main thing is not to sit on the "belly", but the "front end" will stretch from everywhere. These cars are not afraid of snow, mud, or forest off-road. Here is such a wonderful car of the Audi A4 model.

Strengths:

• Front-wheel drive
• Moderately powerful engine
• Convenient location of control systems and wide adjustment possibilities for the driver

Weaknesses:
