Audi A4 1.8T Quattro (Manual)
November 23rd, 2008 · No Comments
One of our favorite sedans, the Audi A4 was thoroughly reworked three years ago, and its looks and major components haven’t been tampered with since then, which is okay with us. But in a recent comparison test against an Acura TSX, a Subaru Legacy 2.5GT, and a Volvo S40 T5, the A4 1.8T came in fourth because of its aging engineering. Nevertheless, we liked the S4 performance model introduced last year enough to include it on our 10Best list (see Sports and GT Cars). The rest of this sedan’s mechanical family includes Audi’s 170-hp, four-cylinder 1.8T engine and a 220-hp, 3.0-liter V-6. Four different gearboxes are offered, either standard or optional: a five-speed manual, a six-speed manual, a five-speed Tiptronic automatic, and Audi’s smooth, continuously variable transmission. There are only minor changes in equipment options for 2005.

The manual is structured so that it can be used for reference. For this reason, it should be kept in the car for ready access. Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that country’s applicable safety and exhaust emission requirements. In some cases it may be difficult or impossible to comply with these requirements. Modifications to the emission control system(s) may render your Volvo not certifiable for legal operation in the U.S., Canada and other countries.
