In 1996 it was obvious to anyone that with the A4 line not only Audi had saved themselves from falling into an abyss, but also secured its place right at the top of the list. And they haven’t stopped impressing us since with the line up of beautiful designs and luxury interiors.

The new 2005 Audi A4 1.8 T quattro w/Tiptronic has been given a complete facelift. With its new aggressive grille and clean lines it now looks much sharper and cooler. Audi has never failed to impress with the interior design and the A4 is yet another example of it.

Everything is done to the perfection, decorated with only top-class materials, soft and pleasant to the touch, and aluminium and wood trims with the clear intention to impress. The 2005 Audi A4 1.8 T quattro w/Tiptronic is a pure pleasure to be in. Multifunctional steering wheel and a six-disk CD changer come as standard.

The driver’s seat adjusts practically in every way and has a four-position memory for the perfect driving position. And there is an extensive list of options you can choose from should you wish to personalise your A4. Some of the controls might take a while to figure out and get used to, but the overall impression is great.

Under the hood of this A4 is the 1.8T, a 170-horsepower turbocharged inline four engine. It powers all four wheels through the six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. The A4 is superbly balanced and even though it is a bit heavier than its predecessors it is still one of the best cars in the luxury entry in terms of handling.

Steering response is crisp and precise. The ride feels firm without being stiff. The cabin is pleasantly quiet with the road and wind noises well filtered.

The conclusion: the new 2005 Audi A4 1.8 T quattro w/Tiptronic is a fun and satisfying drive. A bit pricey but with its new beautiful looks and the technology to match it has all the rights to be.
