Tenerife, Canary Islands - Audi has conquered our gig, which serves as a base for the new A4. Of course, the management of Audi would like to become a model worthy competitor to the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz CLK320. Style, space and durability - the main qualities of this exceptionally well-made model. The car would look even more striking if the interior was lined with not a black and cream leather. But then it would have had to suffer because of spots of rain, because of divorce from the particles of soot, in such an abundance of flying from the exhaust pipes of old trucks and buses. Sometimes it seems that for them to introduce a rule exhaust "the square root of a Euro." Exterior and interior finishes are not like other cars. TT round air vents, regrouped equipment, excellent seats with adjustable backs, and even a long list of standard equipment - automatic climate control, multifunction steering wheel, the group switch that can manage all the side windows simultaneously.

Dynamically, there is little difference between an ordinary roof, fixed roof. Version of M-6 engine has a top speed of 100 km / h in 7.8 seconds, top speed - 232 km / h. Stability when you move - perfect, in spite of the proposed drive system on the front axle.
