Audi A4 2013 review
By Neil Dowling · 15 Apr 2013
What was Audi thinking when it jammed an anaesthetised gearbox into one of the market's best prestige mid-size cars, its latest A4? Crossing a busy intersection with this gearbox - a CVT than Audi calls Multitronic - asleep under your right foot is one of the scariest manoeuvres I've done in 35 years of car testing.

Audi A4 2.0 TFSI Quattro 2013 review
By Nick Dalton · 14 Mar 2013
Audi was really the first to bring all-wheel drive quattro systems to their cars, wagons and SUVs, with others following suit, particularly Subaru. The first quattros soon dominated world rallying and the all-paw systems were quickly adopted by other manufacturers.Today Audi and Subaru are among the few offering a wide range of all-wheel drive vehicles in their ranges from small cars through to large SUVs. While the A4 is also offered in front drive, it is a better car with the quattro.VALUESales of the A4 are up 30 per cent this year but still behind the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and BMW's 3-Series. It's a good start to 2013 after sales fell 11.6 per cent last year.The A4 was updated last year with the review car, the 2.0 TFSI quattro coming with satellite-navigation, Xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights, keyless entry and push start button, electric front seats and 18-inch alloy wheels.Other goodies are front and rear parking sensors, 10-speaker sound system, automatic lights and wipers, cruise control, electric front seats, power windows, mirrors and steering, leather upholstery and steering wheel, Bluetooth and climate airconditioning.Options on the car included very expensive metallic paint ($1650) and a $5800 S-Line sports package with sports suspension and front seats, special alcantara fabric and five-spoke alloy wheels. On the road it is $78,973 as tested.TECHNOLOGYThe 2.0 TFSI quattro is the pick of the range. Audi lopped a nice $8000 off this variant and, while the engine is unchanged, its 155kW/350Nm outputs were hardly an issue.For the extra outlay over the base model you get the rear-biased quattro all-wheel-drive system and, as good as Audi's front-drive system is, the four-wheel-drive set-up feels safer, with tenacious levels of grip when the going gets trickier.The turbocharged engine is a gem and the double clutch gearbox is a delight except at low speeds. The quattro should return 8.8L per 100km. I saw 10.3 in a mix of spirited driving, highway cruising and around town.All A4s are now fitted with an electro-mechanical steering system that cuts fuel use by a claimed 0.3 litres per 100km. While the improvements to economy are great, the steering is still too light at lower speeds around town.Also on board is is the good S tronic dual-clutch automatic, which is much better than the "multitronic'' CVT, always revving to the redline in sport mode and changing down when braking hard into a corner.But there are still moments of hesitation at low speeds, particularly when reversing out of angle parks and the fear the car will slide into the kerb until the transmission engages.DESIGNThe A4 is a handsome and contemporary sedan with subtle changes inside, including new headlights with LED daytime running lamps incorporated in the design.Up front, the A4 is roomy and the driving position comfortable, but it's tighter in the rear seats for tall people, although about standard for the segment. Boot space is voluminous.SAFETYOn the safety front it's packed with passive and active systems, including eight airbags, stability, traction and various braking electronic devices, ABS brakes, an electronic parking brake and tilt and reach adjusting steering wheels.DRIVINGOn the open road it's better, with more weight and artificial feedback dialled in, while levels of grip from the surefooted quattro drivetrains proving confidence-inspiring on twisting and soaked roads such as the Kuranda and Rex ranges. It sits flat on the road.On my favourite piece of tarmac between Walkamin and Oaky Creek Farms the Audi quattro was fantastic and I was able to string together a series of the bends well, with plenty of grip and grin. In fact, the chassis could do with more power. Bring on the S4.The suspension is pliant, and road noise is subdued on most surfaces except coarse bitumen. Engine noise is low as is wind roar.VERDICTThe Audi 2.0 TFSI quattro is a nice all-round package offering sportiness, luxury and practicality. It can be driven hard and be a lot of fun or a pleasant cruiser. At just under $80K as tested it's a competent and quality package.Audi A4 2.0 TFSI quattroPrice: from $64,500Warranty:  3 years/unlimited kmService interval: 12 months/15,000kmEngine: 2.0-litre 4-cyl turbo, 155kW/350NmTransmission:  7 speed double clutch auto, AWDThirst: 7.0L/100km, 159g/km CO2Dimensions: 4.70m (L), 1.82m (W), 1.42m (H)
