The new A4 is the automotive personification of user-friendliness. It may not quite match the eager intensity of a 3-series BMW—the Quattro\'s curb weights damp the zeal of the 2.0-liter turbo motor—but it\'s far from boring. More important, here\'s a car that will compensate for all sorts of driver errors without complaint or excessive stability-control intrusion—and in total comfort. For the guy who indulges his inner racer for about 10 minutes every other month, the A4 is a friend indeed." W5 v# T0 ^# e3 n' b

This is a sweet ride. I love the 2.0-liter direct-injection engine—it\'s the most refined and linear turbo four I\'ve ever revved—and it\'s a pleasure to row through the six-speed. The interior is typical Audi, which is to say, clean, stylish, and of high quality. The A4\'s fresh design is handsome, incorporating Audi\'s big grille better than on the A6 or A8. All in all, I find very little not to like in this car. Unfortunately, that \"very little\" is the big price, which, at $35,995, is almost 10 grand more than a well-equipped Subaru Legacy 2.5GT or the upcoming VW GLI, a \"Jetta GTI\" that also gets the 2.0T. For 30 large as tested, the A4 would be a no-brainer. At 36K, however, the A4 transfers that title to the GLI.

This new A4 2.0T, powered by the latest VW direct-injection turbo four, is just as quick as the old V-6-powered A4. That\'s incredible, given that the new version weighs 3660 pounds—within 40 pounds of the V-6—and gets about a third better fuel economy. Not surprisingly, this performance makes the A4 feel light on its tires, a sensation that is helped by the minimal weight and size increases over the previous A4. As a result, rear-seat room remains tight, but the A4 hasn\'t lost the nimble responsiveness that I\'ve loved over the years. Coupled with the great new styling—I never much liked the old car\'s droopy butt—this A4 is a terrific upgrade: w+ ^4 ~$ Q3 X# w% Y! y J. j
