Leather / Heated Seating 6-CD Changer Sunroof ?2005 Audi A4 Quattro WAULC68E55A122438 Sedan 4D 1.8L I4 EFI ALL WHEEL DRIVE Vehicle Overview Volkswagen's luxury division redesigned its compact, entry-level A4 sedan and A4 Avant wagon during the 2005 model year, giving them larger engines and a fresh front-end look. Each body style comes in 2.0T form with a turbocharged four-cylinder or in 3.2 guise with a V-6. The previous versions of the car, 1.8T or 3.0 (so named for the smaller engines), are also being sold as 2005 models, and the Cabriolet (convertible) version is still based on the previous design. (Skip to details on the: A4 Cabriolet | redesigned A4 sedan and Avant wagon ) Since 2002, the A4 has offered an innovative, multitronic continuously variable transmission. For 2003, the A4 sedan and A4 Avant got a standard six-speed-manual transmission and a tire-pressure monitor. Sedans and Cabriolets are available with FrontTrak front-wheel drive or quattro all-wheel drive. The Avant wagon comes only with quattro all-wheel drive. Optional assistance with General Motors' OnStar communication system has been dropped for 2005, and the available xenon high-intensity-discharge headlamps now are dual-beam type. A Special Edition Package includes a rear spoiler, 17-inch cast-alloy wheels and other step-up items. Exterior Some styling themes on Audi's top-selling A4 were adapted from the company's round-profile TT sport coupe and midsize A6, but the A4 is more angular at the rear. A trapezoidal-link independent rear suspension is installed. Each body style has a double grille, a triple-tube headlight module, a contoured tail and chrome exhaust pipes. Standard tires are 16-inchers, but 17-inch tires can be installed. Xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights, a sunroof and a Parktronic rear parking-assistance system are available. Interior Sedan and wagon models seat five people and have four-way power lumbar support. The seat cushions have prominent bolsters. Standard equipment includes automatic dual-zone air conditioning and an Immobilizer II anti-theft system. Audi Telematics by OnStar is optional. Audi's navigation system, which works without a video map, is available. Under the Hood A 170-horsepower, turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder powers all 1.8T models. An aluminum 220-hp, 3.0-liter V-6 is installed in 3.0 editions. A five- or six-speed manual may be installed, depending on the model. The CVT is available only in models equipped with FrontTrak, but sedans and wagons with quattro all-wheel drive can have a five-speed Tiptronic automatic that permits manual selection of simulated gears. Safety Standard curtain-type airbags deploy from above the side windows in the A4 sedan and Avant. Side-impact airbags for front occupants are standard in all models, and rear-seat side-impact airbags are optional. An Electronic Stabilization Program incorporates Brake Assist. All seat belts have pretensioners, and LATCH child-safety seat tethers are installed. Driving Impressions Audi's A4 series has a lot to offer, but the highlight is its available multitronic CVT. Operating so subtly that the driver is hardly aware of its presence, the CVT does everything an automatic transmission promises but without any gear changes. Passing response is excellent, and most drivers should quickly get used to the lack of actual shifting. With its gearshift flicking easily between ratios and mating to clutch action, a manual-shift A4 is also enjoyable, but the lever's position may not please everyone. The turbocharged four-cylinder responds eagerly but is a little noisier than the V-6. Handling prowess is the strong point. The A4 joyfully tackles twisting roads, taking every turn in stride. Ride comfort is satisfying due to a nicely absorbent suspension, but passengers can be jostled a bit when the pavement gets harsh. The A4 is snug inside, but the seats are outstanding.
