I suspect, unfortunately, that I'm about to enter into a dealer/car owner standoff. I feel a distinct handling (steering) problem .... and they don't. My A4 (FWD) 1.8T is, unfortunately, one of the strangest handling automobiles I've ever owned. Admittedly, I haven't been through a string of exotic automoblles, but in my mind, there are a few basic things any car should do, without resorting to aftermarket or sports handling packages:
a. a car should travel down the highway in a reasonably straight fashion, until such time as the driver moves the wheel left or right, causinig said car to change it's path. Not the case with this A4, which since new has attempted to carve it's own path, with constant input required from the driver.
b. a car should not feel, act like, behave like a small speed boat crossing the wake of a larger boat. My A4 does just that, If the road surface is the least bit sunken due to heavy truck traffic, common on asphalt surfaces, the A4 initially wants to remain in the track(s). Attempting to switch lanes under power (2nd or 3rd gear - passing for example) it fairly leaps from the grooves toward the passing lane, seemingly adding even more steering angle on its own Rather unnerving, requiring the driver (me) to analyse the road surface prior to making a passing manuever, and usually having to prepare to correct for the A4's 'autopilot' characteristics. The feeling is one of having rubber tie rods. Not my concept of what the culmination of several years of FWD and AWD design should be.

If not repairable (by the dealer, ( not by me throwing $$$$ into new suspension components) this little sweetheart is going on the block.
