Foursome with three rubles

"A thousand cars sold per year" - just do not seem triumphant. For "the giant on the banks of the Volga," as does a polsmeny. But the Moscow office of Audi this thousand very happy because the new A4 is not only seriously changed the patience of dealer sales, surpassing the "big sister" A6, but quite noticeably "shocked" competitors - Mercedes C-Klasse and BMW 3-er. Moscow Audi dealers admit that they are very fond of the new "four." If only for the fact that in the history of Russian sales was the first model of the Audi, which buyers in large numbers began to write to the queue and waited for it to market long by the standards of autosales six months. Last spring, the car appeared on the streets of Moscow, and the public have appreciated how well the A4 "fit" design between the "troika" and "Six". Changed the rear doors, fenders, panel, trunk lid and lights. Range of engines and complete sets far from the "5000 options" proposed for the A6, and is comprised of five petrol engines and two diesel and three types of transmission: "mechanics", tiptronic automatic transmission and continuously variable "automatic" multitronic. For long-term test, we chose a three-liter car with the engine, tiptronic automatic transmission and drive quattro. The color is officially known as "green avocados." This was the logic: a powerful three-liter engine and automatic transmission of this type were first introduced to the "Quartet", and quattro - the best you can wish for himself for the winter (the car will be with us until the end of November). + / - A4 Standard equipment is very rich. Curtains Safety Sideguard, protecting side impact, the system of electronic stability control ESP with "assistant braking", separate climate controls for driver and front passenger, alloy wheels ... But our most powerful range of machine was quite a strange configuration, which we, alas, does not have discussed previously. Bright high-quality leather on the seats, ivory-colored upholstery, wood inserts and polished aluminum in a strange way to get on the seats manually adjustable (electricity only managed lumbar and lateral support.) Yet we have not found a friend on the same tests on-board computer. That is, it is present, but the "abbreviated version": a window between the speedometer and tachometer are displayed alternately diagnostics mode audio system, power-reserve of fuel and sea temperature. It may be that the factory decided that such "trifles" as average and instantaneous fuel consumption, car owner with a 3-liter engine does not care about? We, in turn, belatedly realized that all of the desired "little things" have to negotiate a complete set in advance - particularly for the seller is no hope. - Steering many expensive models Audi "default" put sport. Its main advantage - not prestigious logo, and convenience. But we again went to "civilian version", in which the rim seemed tonkovatym. But we'll see. In skilled hands, as they say, and nail glitters. + Disadvantages complete more than compensated for ergonomics salon: the place is not less than in many sedans above, in any case, the front (the rear has not had a chance to ride). + / - Audio Symphony - almost the highest in A4 complete 8 speaker Bose, subwoofer, CD-changer for 6 CDs boot on the front, an improved control algorithm. But somehow "lost" cover plate "under the tree," protects "the music" in the same A6 from prying views, and buttons to switch stations have to put quite masculine force. + / - Buttons are missing at the door locks. It's beautiful. And lock them inside only with the driver's seat of the central lock button. On the keychain remote control for opening unlocked cars, too, all the doors and trunk, which, in our opinion, not quite a precaution. However, they say, the algorithm of control can be configured so that the first time you open the driver's door only to be. Try. + But back back sofa fold all the way! In the space formed may well fit lying two adult human beings. Unless, of course, feel an urge. - The price range for accessories branded centers Audi threw in some shock. For the complete set of front floor mats in the shop in the north of the capital asked for $ 78. Exactly the same in the center cost $ 42. Guess where we bought them?
