New A4

[gribbo91]

I had my A6 in at Huddersfield on Monday. Went to pick it up with Mrs G to be and she had a look round at the new A4 and Q7 and hated them. She said the A4 looked like a Merc and the Q7 looks like a Jeep. I quite fancied the A4 next time as its a bit friendly on the pocket and looks quite smart. But would have to spec it up to have same equipment as my A6. Looks like another A6 for me. She did pick out an RS6 Avant in the showroom as our next car

I specced up the A4 and it was pricey once you add the options. The A6 avant 2.0tdi quattro has great discount (10K) at the moment but my wife thinks it's too big. It's her car so she needs to choose it-looking like it might be an S3 SB.

With Discounts and all the rest the A6 has to be the best value for money Audi of the Range

I like it, although the (presumably base-spec) interior looks a bit sparse. Is the standard MMI screen any better than the A3 (i.e. icons don't look pixellated from 2 feet away)?

The DIS does look a bit naff in a 1980s Ford "here's a big slab of blank plastic for the option you were too tight to pay for" kind of way, but I believe colour DIS and full virtual cockpit are both options.

Hello, sorry I have to disagree with some of the comments, the basic DIS looks good in person and the MMI screen is high quality resolution.
However, I agree about the Audi Sound System, it seem to be crap compared to the same system I had in 2009 Audi A4.

Apart from a few niggles (Sound System and door rattle) I absolutely love the car. It feels light years ahead of the B8 SE Technik I had.

I have the basic S Line 2.0 190 TDI in Daytona Grey, I got a cancelled order which meant I couldn't add some of the extra's I wanted but did get a £5k contribution, so overall I'm very happy.

The ride is much better, even with the S Line suspension and 19" wheels, external sound is at a minimum and I'm getting about 55mpg combined.

I've seen some complaints about the standard screen, but I have no problem with it, it's high resolution and Apple Car Play looks fantastic on it (a big selling point for me), though I would agree that it would be better if it folded away. The dash is all very nicely set out, plenty of touch sensitive physical buttons that look very classy. The Sport seats are apparently much comfier than the previous model (so a friend tells me), which was something I was worried about and I don't even miss the full leather seats (much warmer on a morning!)

Really glad I went for the S Line, it looks gorgeous, and having seen my first SE B9 on the road this morning, I'm very glad I did. Additionally, the SE I originally spec'd up, after adding the extras I wanted, cost more than the S Line and still lacked some options!

Sorry for waffling, hopefully some of that helps!
