Re: Hell's also more expensive...
I just happened to spec out a 325xi pretty much exactly the same as the 2.0T quattro manual I just bought, about $2000 higher MSRP, and $100 a month higher lease payment.... Nothing like having your cake and eating it too...

Re: Hell freezes
100% agree there list, left my 330XI at dealership after I discovered the electronics would never allow the ABS to be turned off.
I want to drive my car, not have a computer do the driving for me.... so glad I got the V6 Audi over the 330 XI

Re: FYI: It only won because this was an AWD test. The focus was obviously on Quattro.
And?
2WD is not an option here, unless you only want a summer car, hence the Porsche. But to be honest I like the A4 so much, may sell other car and get S4 for all year.
I wanted to see a AWD sport sedan compare for a long time. Every review is 4WD vs 2WD.
4WD will always be "alittle" slower in these tests, due to weight.

Come ON...
2WD *IS* an option in northern. Don't get hooked on an urban legend. AWD is just for slightly more convenience. I prefer my cars 2WD for a few good reasons, thank you.

Re: Come ON...
Really?
I think you don't live in the North, or you never drove a quattro.
I had a 06 passet for 1 week, well my car was in shop (rear bumper got hit), and couldn't stand it.
Every since my first Quattro (1986), I have never own a 2WD car again (well in Canada).
Past AWD's include Eagles Talons, WRX, and various small trucks. All great cars, even so I am glad to be able to afford a Audi again ")
**Snowed 15CM since 9 this morning, come over with a 2WD and get up my driveway
