I'll stick with my S4, but that's pretty cool.

It is strange because I am finding I really don’t miss a manual in any car I drive that has an automated transmission and I say automated for a reason since the transmission in the A4 is a dct. |

The three cars that I have kept the longest, all over four yeas, were the 00 A4 2.8, the 06 Cayman S and the 10 A4 2.0T. I put a combined 90k miles on the two a4's.
The a4's may not be enthusiast machines eliciting passion, but rather than trying to guess/perceive my past emotions, if I look at the facts; how many sheer miles and years I got out of them, I see that their pragmatic appeal - in manual form. There is nothing wrong in how they shift. Longer than either the 04 s4 avant v8 or the 14 s4 3.0t... |
