Here is a write-up about a first drive by Autoweek in the new, B8 Audi A4.
Autoweek clearly mentions, like Autocar, that Audi has created a hugely improved A4 due to massive improvements in four distinct areas
First the exterior looks more sporting than the current A4. The 12 LED lights really attract attention to the car and help people identify the car as an Audi, day or night. New aggressive rims make the car feel much sportier than the B7 version.
Second the interior is a huge improvement over the B7 A4. For those of you that are wondering how Audi could improve on an already class leading interior, well the answer is they took the interior from the A6 and A5 and placed it into the A4. The interior has typical first-rate Audi materials, ergonomics, feel and layout.
Third the car has grown by 6 inches in length. This makes the interior much larger than the current A4 and occupants will clearly notice the difference in size, especially rear passengers who often complained about the small leg and headroom in the B7 A4.
Lastly, Audi's number one goal in designing the new A4 was to improve the dynamics of the car. They hit the mark, dead on with this new B8 version. The car has much better ride quality, is more balanced, has a huge resistance to understeer and is just a better driver's car than the car it replaces.
Looks like another review confirms that Audi has created a spectacular car with the new A4 and the future looks even brighter for a brand on the move.
