2004 Audi A4 1.8T review from Malaysia
"A quality premium car"
General comments?
The build quality of this car is astounding. The tight shut-lines and perfect paint exudes almost perfect visual quality.
The same quality carries on into the interior with no cheap plastics to be found anywhere, unlike some other premium marques.
The Multitronic gearbox is a marvel to drive, especially in hilly areas. It is uncanny how the car chooses the perfect ratios when descending a hill without you doing anything. Audi's CVT does not exhibit any of the rubber banding effect found on other belt based CVTs.
Ride is on the firm side, but not at all uncomfortable.
