2009 Audi A4 in Torrance, California
The 2009 Audi A4 is an Enthusiast Up-Scale Sedan that Has Plenty to Offer Buyers Who Want a Mix of Fun, Classy, and Safe
The 2009 Audi A4 is an upscale midsize sedan that can change its attitude depending on the driver's preference. Whether you want a road-ripping, turn swiping sports car with plenty of thrust, or a luxurious, accomodating commuter, the 2009 Audi A4 will fit your desire. Reviewers applauded its sophisticated, dynamic performance features, roomier cabin, and modern technology package. There are two engine types; the 211 hp 2.0 liter, and the 265 hp 3.2 liter.
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 for the 2009 Audi make the competition tuck their tails in and limp away. "The new model has a planted, sportier stance and holds the road with a new sense of confidence and enthusiasm," says Motor Trend. One of the defining characteristics of the A4 is DSP (Dynamic Shift Program) which reduces driving effort, especially in stop-and-go traffic by independently selecting the best driving range. The transmission automatically detects the vehicles driving patterns and adapts its shift strategy to compensate. This type of transmission is also easy to maintain because it doesn't require a transmission oil change. Other sporty performance features include fully-independent trapezoidal-link rear suspension with a stabilizer bar and separate coil springs/shock absorbers (gas-charged), five-link front suspension with upper and lower control arms; a stabilizer bar; and separate coil springs/shock absorbers (gas-charged), a fully galvanized steel unibody with multi-step anti-corrosion protection, servotronic vehicle speed-sensitive power steering, an Audi valve lift system, and 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. No wonder U.S News Rankings and Reviews commented, "On the track, it still offers handling close to what is usually found only on dedicated sports cars."
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).
