Propulsion and Performance

Each 2011 Audi A4 is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 211 horsepower and a generous 258 lb-ft of torque. Premium and Premium Plus Sedan trim levels come standard as the 2.0T Front withdrew, saying it has front wheel drive and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). All profiles can be taken as 2.0T Quattro, indicating four-wheel drive and either a standard six-speed manual or an optional eight-speed automatic transmission. The front is only available with automatic transmission and Quattro.

We have yet to test an A4 with the new eight-speed automatic, but the old six-speed unit has contributed to a decent life time of 6.5 seconds 00-60. Fuel economy EPA-estimated before the 2.0T has attracted the highway is 22 mpg city/30 mpg and 25 mpg combined - very cheap for a luxury sedan. The 2.0T quattro reaches an impressive yet 21/29/24 21/31/25 estimated and automatic with manual.

Security

The 2011 Audi A4 comes standard with antilock brakes, traction and stability control, front airbags and side curtain airbags. Side airbags, rear seats are optional on the Premium Plus and Prestige, while anti-blind spot warning is optional on the Prestige. Also available is an "active braking guard" feature that is part of the option of adaptive cruise control in the Prestige. If an imminent collision is detected, the system warns the driver and brakes for stopping power in the first place.

In crash tests of the new government more difficult by the year 2011, the A4 received an overall rating of four stars out of five possible four stars for frontal impacts and five-star general side collision protection. The Insurance Institute crash tests for Highway Safety, the A4 received a perfect score of "good" in frontal crash tests, both offset and side and was without the optional rear seat airbags.

In the braking test, Sport package A4 Avant stopped 60 mph surprisingly short 103 meters - about the same as the 911 sedan without Quattro Sport package A4 stopped on average, but still acceptable 123 meters.

Interior Design and Special Features

The interior of the 2010 A4 is one of the best in its class. The surfaces are smooth and textured as well, whereas the rule prevails over the leather upholstery of the leather-like vinyl on the base model BMW and Benz. Controls most functions of information and entertainment (called MMI) are in an ideal position near the shifter for models with navigation system, but no cars were in the MMI navigation panel, which is a much less practice. Car navigation is also equipped for the latest improved version of the MMI. Other controls are intuitive and generally well designed A4, despite having access to some functions can be an exercise in frustration. Establishment of something as simple as the fan speed, for example, is a two-step process.

12 cubic feet in the trunk is of medium size sedan, so it is useful to look forward, offering 17.3 cubic feet. Fold the front seat down and has 51 cubic feet: a useful amount, if less than average for a car on the elegant Audi rear.

Driving Impressions

For 2011, Audi A4 handling is neutral and safe, especially when equipped with all-wheel drive. It becomes downright sporty when you add the sport package, although the ride quality suffers (especially with 19-inch wheels).

The turbocharged four-cylinder engine is a mixed bag. It gives the acceleration A4 competitive class, but it does not sound as refined as a six-cylinder, and send some off-side of the vibration in the steering wheel.

Note also the optional Audi Drive Select system, which lets the driver choose between three driving modes for managing compliance efforts and response capacity of the transmission - or enjoy the custom settings through fourth "individual "mode. It's an interesting idea, but a bit pricey, and the evidence found that it creates more problems than solutions. Most buyers should look for standard A4 suspension calibration, transmission direction and perfectly adequate.
