2009 Audi A4 in Torrance, California
The 2009 Audi A4 Earns High Credentials for its Hair-Pin Turn Performance, Spacious Interior, and Loads of Great Interior Features
The 2009 Audi A4 is the epitomy of cool. It comes with loads of sophisticated, dynamic performance features that really give it a race-track feel. Plus, the interior is more evolved, luxurious, and roomy than ever. Audis may be less well known then their foreign-made counterparts, but U.S. News Rankings and Reviews says, "The top of the upscale midsize class is crowded with excellent cars, but buyers would be foolish not to give this one a look." There are two available engine sizes, the 211 horsepower 2.0 liter and the 3.2 liter 265 hp.
The interior of the Audi A4 goes beyond the call of duty when it comes to supporting the driver. The Detroit News says, "There's room to breathe like a yoga instructor in this sedan. Audi also puts the driver first when it comes to the cockpit." You'll enjoy stylish accents like aluminum decorative inlays and leather seating surfaces. You'll also be able to relax behind the four-spoke leather steering wheel with multifunction control that provides easy access to audio, volume, radio stations, CD tracks, navigation voice prompts, telephone dialing, and the voice control system. Seating features include 8-way power front seats with four-way power lumbar adjustment and lockable head restraints. There are three adjustable head restraints for the rear outer seats. The interior also includes features such as electronic cruise control with coast, resume, and acceleration features as well as MMI (Multi-Media Interface). The Multi-Media Interface includes a 6.5-inch color monitor and is located in the upper part of the center console in easy view.
The performance features on the 2009 Audi A4 make it the most popular kid on the track. For instance every A4 includes Dynamic Shift Program, which, according to Audi's website; "reduces the driver’s workload, particularly in stop-and-go traffic. DSP independently selects the optimum driving range. The transmission automatically recognizes the vehicle’s driving characteristics and adapts its shift strategy to the prevailing conditions. DSP-controlled transmissions are also very easy to maintain and, for example, do not need transmission oil changes." It's easy to understand why U.S. News Rankings and Reviews would comment, "On the track, it still offers handling close to what is usually found only on dedicated sports cars." Other great performance features include five-link front suspension with upper and lower control arms; a stabilizer bar; and separate coil springs/shock absorbers (gas-charged), fully-independent trapezoidal-link rear suspension with a stabilizer bar; and separate coil springs/shock absorbers (gas-charged), servotronic vehicle speed-sensitive power steering, an Audi valve lift system, 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, and a fully galvanized steel unibody with multi-step anti-corrosion protection.
A picture says a thousand words, and reviewers have their own opinions but you can't really take in the new A4 without seeing it in person. Similarly Edmunds comments, "Pictures are a poor indicator of the new A4's styling... The 2009 Audi A4 also looks expensive, with taut shut lines and neat details like LED running lights." When you step onto the lot at Pacific Audi be sure to check out exterior features like front fog lights, a glass sunroof, and heated and power adjustable exterior mirrors.
The 2009 Audi A4 belies its sporty appeal with a whole host of safety features that put it right up there with other family friendly sedans. In fact, it earned perfect scores in government safety crash tests. The fleet of airbags includes sideguard airbag supplemental restraints (for protecting the head area of front and rear vehicle occupants in certain types of impacts), and front-side and window full-size airbags (for driver and front passenger with two stage activation). Every trim comes standard with daytime running lights for better visibility, Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) in the rear seats, a tire pressure monitoring system, and an anti-lock brake system with power assist Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD); hydraulic Brake Assist; and disc-wiping. The height adjustable safety belts include head restraints, belt-force limiters, and belt tensioners. You'll also have peace of mind knowing that the A4 includes reflectors in the rear of all doors, an electromechanical parking brake, an Audi backguard system, and a power central locking system (with a safety unlock feature if an airbag deploys).
