Hi, I just placed an order for a 09 A4, with the Tech and Nav package, but i was wondering if the 09 models get the 3G MMI and if not is it upgradable ?

Just wondering if you had a chance to test drive the car before placing your order and what your impressions were?

MrMani

Yeah i got the chance to test drive a 2.0T. right now we have an A6 2005, G35 2005, 335i 2008 and let me put it this day, its not as fast as 335i but its fast enough to satisfy a person who likes to push the gas time to time, its not so much in the luxury class of A6, but its sport and way more luxury than C-Class, Infiniti,3-Series, and its not completely as sport car as G35 but because of the design it puts it head to head with it IMO.

The car(steering) isn't as rough as other semi sport cars, comparing with BMW, its a lot smoother and easier for steering

The deal i got was:
$857.00/mo for 45 month lease $2300 on the delivery day. 2.0T Prem + Tech + Nav + B&O package. they included the Audi care, Tinting the windows and Mats for free.

over all I am happy with audi service since its our third audi from this dealership. way better than infiniti and so close to BMW but not completely(missing some side services they offer for free)

So far, I'm happy with my purchase.

Congratulations on your purchase and thanks so much for the information! Sounds like you have been able to experience some of the competing cars in the same class as the A4 (such as the G35 and BMW 335i) and settled on the Audi in the end. I think it was a great choice (although since you already have a G35 and BMW 335i, I guess it wasn't a very difficult choice to make).

I think the new A4 is a great car and it was interesting for me hear how you thought it compared to the BMW.

How was the B&O sound system?
Also, is it true that the MMI controller is located on the central dash unless you get the Nav package in which case it is located behind the gear shift and in front of the arm rest?

MrMani

Thanks,
well one thing i didnt get to play around with was the B&O, to be honest because of the color choice and package, the only car available had B&O so.. kind of had to get it.

but about the controls its otherway around if you get the nav system its in the middle and if you dont it would be on the dash.

Hey MrMani, I have a '09 A4 Avant with Tech/NAV/B&O etc. and NAV is not the 3G with 3D NAV and overlays etc. The first Audi to have this will be the Q5. It will not be upgradeable (easily) since the hardware (video processor) to run the 3G has been upgraded.
