2.7tdi is the best one out off the a4 range because its rapid acceleration to 100 is a whooping 7.7sec and it wastes only 6.6l per 100kms
the best thing is its affordable only about 3000 dollars more than the 2.0t which also goes 7.7sec but wastes more than the 2.7tdi
that the reason i like the 2.7tdi the most
that’s only me opinion all the new a4 are wonderful car.
i rate the new a4′s 4/5
the new BMW 3 serious made a huge mistake its UGLY

this is a bit off topic, but Volvo especially V70 and XC70 offers much greater value for money. Audi… em…, too expensive for what it offers. My mum loves A4, only because it looks better than a Volvo but she ended up buying a Lexus.

Option pricing is a strange animal.

In a Volvo (such as a XC70), the Dynaudio stereo upgrade is AU$930 but in the UK, it is 1000 pounds for the same thing.
I can’t work that out !

Really all options are overpriced…

Chucky, no chance that the options are going to be cheap. Mond you I would have no problem paying $1500 for a 14 speaker B&O stereo upgrade…

The text seems to indicate that a lot of the features are actually standard – they aren’t ! The PDF of prices/options can be downloaded at a certain wheelsmag site.

Wow, look at all those options! $1,600 for metallic paint; where do they get off? A Passat only costs an extra $990 with metallic paint. Sat Nav is $5,000 versus $2,500 on the Passat. Electric front seats with memory are $4,000 versus $1,500 on the Passat. The B&O sound system on the A4 is only $1,500 versus the $2,000 Dynaudio system on the Passat, but thats probably because the Dynaudio is a better sound system.

This is just pure price gouging.

Passat, jetta, skoda, 6 new euro, all offer better value at the bottom end, and pretty well kitted for less than 50k (passat some more depending on motor). Too expensive to option up and come resale

A4 1.8TFSI $50,900
Octavia 1.8TFSI $30,990
Ignoring perceived badge value it would be interesting for CA to do a comparison.

I honestly wouldn’t waste the money, I’d take the Passat, or a Mazda 6 over this. Saw it at the Motorshow and although I can’t speak in terms of driving experience, nothing in my opinion made me desire or want this car.
If I were to spend this much money it would be on the BMW 3-series, Merc C-Class or the Lexus IS.

the new A4 looks great, but don’t the Germans know how to charge for options. Could you imagine Holden putting Xenon headlights as an option on an Omega for $2100? How much extra do they cost to manufacture over the standard lights? $10? $100? $300?
