Audi A4 (body B7) has established itself as a reliable, a comfortable car, which practically does not break, if it is not specifically "kill". This is evidenced by statistics collected by us.
At first - a few strokes to the portrait A4. Serious disadvantages in the cabin of the car is almost impossible to find. ergonomics of Audi not satisfactory. I especially want to emphasize the high quality of finishing materials. Tactile sensations delivered to the driver and passengers a lot of positive emotions, because not for nothing from the Audi has a special unit, is engaged in the research of finishing materials and the creation of anti-allergic plastic.
А теперь – о недостатках. If the driver exceeds the growth 180 cm, then he will certainly want to push the seat back as far as. In this case, the space for the rear passengers are left. Squeeze on the rear sofa can only a small child. it, perhaps, only minus the A4 saloon, More carp to nothing is impossible.
Now about engines. В Украине в основном широко представлены бензиновые моторы, old and time-tested 1.8T, modernized two-liter "aspirated" , It is the weakest of all the family (on the previous family had a problem and quickly wear out thin rings) and he also, but with the turbine 2.0T. But 2.0 more economical. In addition, when power 131 l. with. It allows you to save on taxes. therefore 2.0T, With its arsenal of 200 to 220 forces (depending on the configuration of car), and "chipuemy" to 270 horses , quite confidently accelerates the A4 far 200 kmh. Two-liter engines are famous for their appetite for oil, especially at high speeds. Oil consumption reaches 0,6 l thousand km.
I emphasize - it is typical even for new cars. Diesel versions have not been able to gain popularity in our country.
A few words about the transmission: mechanics can be a 5-speed or 6-speed. But due to the violent development of automatic transmissions to meet modern A4 with the manual is not so easy.
The most common are the classic "machines". A well proven over the years "tiptronic", which are equipped cars drive qwattro, and "multitronik", which is equipped with front-wheel drive cars. If the first set for Audi since 1995 of the year (now he has 7 speeds), the "multitronik" (aka CVT, CVT) established since the late 90-ies of the last century. In this case, almost all the owners of the first cars with a variator already faced their repair.
I do not want to say, CVT that is bad and not reliable transmission, it kills the driver, do not want to take into account the features of the device such boxes. Infinitely box is not designed for racing with traffic lights, He does not like to yank away: too sudden starts, such as braking and rapid acceleration again.
A4 suspension rather strong. Usually, on 80 thousands fail of the front stabilizer. Kill the leverage is virtually impossible, if you do not do it on purpose! One day I flew to A4 in a ditch at a speed of more than 80 km / h - it hits a left thrust, and leverage remained intact.
