Correct and fast

The recent restyling of the car added charm and emotion. Past A4 was strict and impartial, like a robot. The new poetry, even as some have. In front slanted headlights and a powerful corporate "shield" for example. Or a ruby ??tail lights, imitating the Italian style. And in light sidewalls, which are received after the restyling proshtampovki stylish, too. Beautiful kit S-line, including caps on the bumpers and sills, and door moldings, gives the car a truly sporting spirit. And even frivolous blue color is not able to isportit.No our main A4 poetry still not outside, but inside - under the hood, where there is a new 2-liter turbocharged engine with direct fuel injection - FSI. The Audi is very proud of this technology yet, and because she was a baptism of fire in that avtosporte.Tak A4 2,0 ??T FSI - an example of civic sports sedan. 200 forces, the torque motor responsive all-wheel drive, a 17-inch wheels. But the suspension is standard. It is a pity also that, in conjunction with the motor running six-step "automatic" tiptronic. My preference - "pen." Well, or, in extreme cases, extra-fast DSG. Incidentally, the first option available to buyers, and the second, unfortunately, in A4 format will have to forget. But as compensation we get adjusted to the petals paddle-sport tiptronic (for he has a special ability to work, used to powerful versions of the A4, as well as S4) and the opportunity to feel behind the wheel of the car. But not in Formula 1, and R8 prototype of the "Le Mans". He, too, Audi, he also has FSI. I hope you have enough imagination? Me it was not necessary. By happy coincidence test A4 was launched as soon ended pokatushki on Range Rover, and, sitting in a compact, 200-strong big comfortable sedan after the English "boat", I very quickly imbued his first zadorom.No once again noted perfectionist interior. Neither give nor take a smaller version of the flagship A8. The same stylistic devices, the same aura of impeccable quality. Ideal plastic, perfect fit each and every detail. And emphasized modesty - no pathos, but the mass of dignity. Chairs keep the rider is not only a good profile, but the suede surface. Light-gray fleecy rugs look like pre-winter depressing, but as comfortable in the A4! Ergonomics has not caused problems, and visibility is good. These are, today's model from Ingolstadt, all trying to be idealnymi.Kazhdy time I'm Audi, I work captivates the electrical power, which generates great feedback, depending on the speed. In the parking lot steering wheel can turn the little finger, and at a speed of cake, filled with the weight, allowing the most accurate drive. Another undoubted advantage - no steps to force during high-speed rotation. In addition, the steering wheel on the A4 2,0 ??T FSI pleasant to the touch, with a true cross-section chosen. And it is three-spoke, which corresponds to the spirit of sports car. Gearshift paddles to the right place, get used to not hold the car brakes nuzhno.Chut slightly increasing the pace. When the green light, let go of the brake pedal, and then give full throttle. Ryknuv engine, A4 leaps forward. It's a pity - under the wheels of bare asphalt, and rubber spikes, however, the pleasure of energetic acceleration does not diminish. And sorry, that is not audible whistling turbine - the engine roars, without betraying its prisutstviya.Dvigatel elastic. Pronounced pick-up there, but dead turbo-bottoms too. Lucky at the outset and up to the cutoff, showing excellent traction after about 4000 rpm. If you are in sport mode automatic transmission, or simply as an accelerator pedal pushed in, "machine" will hang on to the last selected program - switches, only reaching maximum speed. To its credit, tiptronic should be noted that it does its job quickly and without delay. One of the passengers even suggested that the box - DSG. This is not sports-minded praise "automaton", which faithfully serves the four rings on many models? Can the standard suspension to cope with the dynamic potential of turbo A4? The answer is affirmative. Of course, I would like slightly smaller rolls, and a large, but we must remember that this is not S, but only the S-line, and running setup involves mostly "domestic" car use. Comfort, however, kept pace with the elasticity. Energy-intensive suspension and "punch" it can only be tried. But at higher speeds A4 famously tosses riders. True, it happens on really big drops in the road profile. In fairness, I note that the buildup does not occur. In general, neploho.Virazhi - elements of quattro. A A4 2,0 ??T FSI - especially with his desire to make the understeer in excess. He just looks like non-aggressive and restrained, while setting the chassis - this is a provocateur! Try to enter the turn faster and a little throttle, steering wheel dovernuv. Rear axle immediately echoing slip at the front and the car begins to execute a smooth, well controlled at any stage of the demolition. On the outside of the car slides all the wheels, slightly throwing the stern, a skid can easily be adjusted while driving. "Smooth" motor allows you to drag the car to glide gas with minimal effort. Clinging to the road all the wheels, Audi bullet flies out of turn. Behavior schooled, correct. Do not forget that the basis for quattro A4 - an old friend, limited-slip differential Torsen, intelligently allocates time on a country road took osyam.Na casual sparring with the obviously more powerful rival - Impreza WRX STi. In the high-speed corridor from 150 to 200 km / h A4 equally fought with his rival, almost no lag. The advanced aerodynamics of the enemy and the approximate ratios in its gearbox is likely to limit its maximum speed, while the A4 in a modest body kit without any problems permeated the air flow. At the same music played, the cabin was quiet - a strong "racing" noise, which seemed to be expected, otsutstvoval.Na example of this competition is clearly visible difference between a "sports-civic" cars and "generalists" such as A4 2,0 ??T FSI . Last good as on every day, and as a vehicle for prohvatit. It is true that multi-item and costs a little more. But for the extra pleasure made to pay. By the way, about pleasure. Inside, in addition to delivering separate climate control, xenon headlights swivel, Bose sound system and CD-changer for 6 CDs (plus one in the player), powered chairs, etc. Clearly, there are moments that do not lift the mood. For example, the need to call in only on proven refueling (FSI experience in operating in Russian conditions, while still being formed) and fill it the 98th fuel. And to call in frequently - the average consumption of 20 l/100 km tank capacity for a long time not hvataet.A4 ulterior motive is the leader of Russian sales in D segment models of the big German three. It is no accident in the streets flashed so many restyled versions of this machine. This is a very balanced and correct, fast and technologically car. By the way, very soon in sale will be Audi A4 DTM Edition with 220-horsepower engine and other chassis settings - more hot version of the A4 2,0 ??T FSI. We will try to keep her acquaintance.
