Interior Design and Special Features
Among the luxury sedans are entry-level Audi A4 Cab 2012 is considered one of the best in its class. The interior is spartan design gives an air of gravity adults, while high-quality materials, send a message of sophisticated refinement. The use of leather as standard equipment also gives Audi an advantage over their competitors BMW and Mercedes that uses vinyl leatherette.
Most of the MMI infotainment functions are conveniently located around the gear lever, on models equipped with navigation system, but cars without navigation, the MMI on the dashboard, which is much less convenient and user friendly. Navigation-equipped vehicles also get the newer and improved GUI. A4 Other controls are generally intuitive and beautiful, but access to certain features can be an exercise in frustration. Adjusting something as simple as the fan speed, for example, is a two-step process.
12 cubic feet in the trunk is of medium size sedan, so it is useful to look forward, offering 17.3 cubic feet. Fold the front seat down and has 51 cubic feet: a useful amount, if less than average for a car raked rear window of Audi.
Driving Impressions
The 2012 Audi A4 treatment is neutral and safe, especially when the car is equipped with four-wheel drive. Drivers with a penchant for performance is probably the athleticism of all sports added to your taste, but ride quality suffers (especially in combination with 19-inch wheels).
The turbocharged four-cylinder offers a faster competitive class, but lacks the refinement of a six-cylinder engine, the transmission of vibration through the steering wheel unpleasant.
Note also the optional Audi Drive Select system, which lets the driver choose between three driving modes for managing compliance efforts and response capacity of the transmission - or enjoy the custom settings through fourth "individual "mode. It's an interesting idea, but a bit pricey, and the evidence found that it creates more problems than solutions. Most buyers should look for standard A4 suspension calibration, transmission direction and perfectly adequate.
