Test Drives:
1998 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro
|
|
This compact entry-level luxury sedan was very enjoyable to drive. The Quattro system
makes it a very popular car in Canada during the winter months. Although the car is
compact in dimension, it was surprisingly roomy inside, for the front two occupants.
Rear seat accommodations are not good at all. The V6 engine is not overly powerful or
quick at low RPMs but for a car of its size, the engine is well matched. The interior fit &
finish are excellent with no rattles for a car with 90,000kms. The 5-speed manual
provided an abundance of fun as I zipped through suburban Winnipeg roads. On the
down side, the seats offer little back or thigh support. My initial impression of the car
was a better looking Volkswagen. Upon driving it, I realized that the Audi is much more
than an expensive Jetta. Audi has come a long, long way!
