I agree with this, but, if you have drive select and switch it to dynamic.. well, nobody can tell me that doesn't make the drive a hell of a lot funner.

At least this way you can switch it off and go back to enjoying a sweet smooth ride after that moment of pure exhilaration.

 

I've got the a4 with sport pack and 6 speed transmission. Yes, the drive is much more fun than the basic A4 and most cars but you can't tell me that you don't feel the "weight" of the car due to its large size. It's quite noticeable.

 

If you have kids...take them out for a test rise first. It was the clincher for me my little one got sick within minutes in the bimmer...

 

I'd say: if you have kids, the A4 has a lot more room..

My son doesn't get sick in the A4. He even said once : "Daddy, why are we driving sideways?" during some spirited driving in the snow..

 

the more i drive the audi, the more i wonder about little nuances that pop up.

I've always noticed a little bit of steering shake while I drive, especially when accelerating from stop. When i drive over a bump, i can feel it in the steering wheel very lightly. I don't been wobbly as if the wheels were not balances but more just road feedback as if i were playing ps3 with a steering that has vibration in it. is that normal with all you folks you have a B8 A4?

 

what size wheels do you have OH9EH4?

the 18s on mine are stiffer so it does transmit some road irregularities

 

i have 17s and hankook ipikes winters. i've been running them for about 3 months now so can't remember what my all seasons were like. 17" with goodyear eagles (standard on the 09 A4).

 

oh man i was driving down box grove today to the longos. anyone who lives in that area and drives an audi i highly recommend that short 2 minute stretch between steeles and highways 7. the roads is newly paved and nice turns with little to no traffic. i through it into triptronic and had a blast!

 

Hankook ipikes are very impressive. I have them on my other car and I'm most likely going ot get them for the A4 as well.
