Test drove both A4 2.0L TDi & the 320d.
Exhilirating experience. WOW. Never knew life could throw such situations where one wants one with the heart & one with the head & the Accountant, tries leading you another way
My impressions : A4 1.8T.
Spirited performer, needless to say a more silent car, trim level - S line, great handler. Can do everything the Diesel can but for the obvious difference is petrol & Diesel behaviour
A4 2.0 TDi..
Exhilirating in sport mode, noisy engine, phenomenal perfomance, excellent handling to boot. Good ride quality, very good brakeing, silky smooth gear shifts, ran out of road at 160 kmph . Well apointed interior with motorized sunroof, S Line specs, good Bose audio (just needs a subwoofer) All electric seat adjustments for the front, rain sensing wipers & light senseing headlamps. All & all a great package with aggressive yet not brutish looks, full size spare tyre alloy mounted :-) Almost getting a 4L discount
BMW 320d
Little more leg room than the Audi A4. Firmer steering. Engine not as noisy as the A4, good braking, Decent Audio, Smooth as silk tranny. Electric seat adjustments upfront with memory on the Driver Side. Interior not as stylish as the S Line Speced A4. Rain sensing wiper & light sensing headlamps. No sunroof. Great car at a higher price. Getting no discount of 1L after today :-(
Experts pls advice. Are the run flats on the BMW a disadvantage ??
Anything I missed ...
Cheers
