Test drive Audi A4 B7 2004 - 2007 Sedan

Mono or turbo?

The variator on version 2.0 works more efficiently than mechanics: even the declared city fuel consumption with it below. However, the algorithm of work at the time of touching did not seem successful
An exemplary interior, high -quality design, modern engines, excellent running properties. The current four Audi is a successful and successful car with experience, and the 2.0 TFSI Quattro version seems to be the most balanced of all. It is powerful enough to fill each trip with a drive and make it possible to feel the advantages of a constant all -wheel drive, but also restrained so that fuel consumption remains within reasonable limits. Her clearance is sufficient to calmly on our roads, and she behaves great at high speeds. QUATTRO is not too easy and lightning speed, but reliably and tasty is controlled, and a full -wheel drive machine is balanced with that share of insufficient rotation, which provides comfortable stability, but does not deprive the pleasure of the bends. Transmission clear mechanics or Tiptronic automatic. A traditional unit with a sports regime and the possibility of manual switching. Together, a good combination of properties for a single car for all cases of active life and all seasons.
On our test was a car, trimmed like an forced version of the A4 DTM Edition. The main advantage of this performance is the luxurious front seats Recaro. The only thing Audi inferior to other participants in the dough is the expanse in the rear seats: it is cramped.
 
A two -liter (130 l. During its debut, this advanced, from an engineering point of view, conquered most experts. The variator very effectively uses the capabilities of a modest engine when you need to give out maximum acceleration or maintain constant speed on the highway. However, the moment of touching from the place is blurred. If one of the wheels in a small hole, engine speed will grow until the car jumps forward. The traction control also does not leave the impression of the connection of the gas pedal with acceleration: all reactions are blurred, as on a ship with a machine telegraph. Today you can give examples of much better work of variators.
 
But the performance of the salon brings nothing but joy. Even in budget versions, you receive in A4 the famous interior decoration, which meets the standards of car class above, and lined with thin skin, perfectly ergonomic steering wheel.
In turns, the car falls on the front outer wheel, the suspension allows significant rolls that cause delays and ambiguity in the adoption of the maneuver. Inadequate rotation is pronounced, and the variator reduces the effectiveness of helping the cutting and dumping of gas: the four cannot be recognized. Of course, it cannot be said that the car goes dangerously or badly. He is gaining a mandatory minimum of today's standards of active security, but you expect more from Audi.
 
Four car with a longitudinally located engine: initially compiled as an all -wheel drive with the Torsen inter -Eose differential. Her true face is quattro. The constructive potential of the car is extremely high: it makes it possible to feel RS4, capable of playing 420 horses. The modest modification was offered only by high -class interior, surroundings, and a glorious name.
Tiptronic automaton in 2.0 TFSI classics of the genre. Sports mode and manual selection of programs. This machine can be ordered with mechanics an exemplary interior, high -quality design ... Further, the paths of two Audi diverge
Full -wheel drive reduces the volume of the tank and the size of your account, but its value is greater than the price. The front -wheel drive machine is completely different: more rolls and delays. Worse controllability
The two -liter monopoly four of our test is not the very beginning of the line. You can buy 1.6 l 102 l. With. For $ 33,000.
 
2.0 TFSI Quattro in our test was represented by a car executed in the same interior decoration and equipment, as well as the forced version of the Audi A4 DTM Edition. We did not have an engine dispersed to 220 liters. With. And six -speed mechanics, but there were luxurious front seats Recaro.
 
In the interior of the inserts for carbon, and a combination of leather and alcantara on the steering wheel. Outside of the bumper with small gills. Also, carbonate in appearance, a spoiler on the lid of the trunk and the lip of the front bumper, stylized as a racing splitter. He did not bring much joy in the city, because to ruin him about the curb of one second, but everything else is pleasant additions.
 
3.2 Quattro did not participate in our test. Such a machine with a 255-horsepower engine costs from 65 thousand dollars and is responsible for the very top of the Audi A4 line. However, this is not the end of the song: further S4 and RS4.
   
 
   

Audi A4 front overhang is almost the genetic code of this machine. Otherwise with the longitudinal location of the engine and front or constant full drive
Audi pride subject and ergonomics of the driver's seat. Steering wheel maximum convenience and pleasure
Multitronic variator on Audi. The selector is familiar with automatic machines, the transmission is very effective, but not the most convenient
The interior is the pride of the current Audi. Most charms are available on modest versions
The external differences of different versions of Audi A4 are sometimes elusive. The washer comes with xenon
The rear seats are beautifully decorated and finished, but there are few places for passengers
In manual mode of switching the imaginary steps of the variator, 7 possible gears are displayed on the panel
Audi is an excellent baggage carrier: large volume, correct shape and convenient access. All at the highest level
