2009 Audi A4

The 2009 Audi A4 is a luxury sedan highlighting performance, style, and practicality all wrapped up in one. Being in the very successful A4 range by Audi, the 2009 model offers comfort and technology in a rather aggressive handling.

Exterior and Dimensions
The 2009 Audi A4’s exterior design is sleekly dynamic, sharp lines, active grille, and headlamps that are simply distinctive. The A4 is produced in Brilliant Black and Ibis White, and its body simply exudes elegance and sportiness at the same time. The car’s body is compact, yet spacious enough for maneuvering within cities as well as on long distances. It comes at just over 185.2 inches in length and 71.9 inches in width, making it possible to scrape off while still offering a low center of gravity for handling with 5.0 inches of ground clearance.

Engine and Performance
And beneath that classic coupe shape lies a healthy complement of a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 engine. With this arrangement, the car puts down 211 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, so it will neither be heard nor seen as it glides around corners or performs high-speed highway driving. A direct fuel injection system makes this one of the fuel economy bandits, standing with a combined fuel economy of 23 MPG. It is given better grip and stability by the Audi signature Quattro all-wheel-drive system, hence the A4 is a wonderful performer in all weathers.

Transmission
The A4 comes with a 7-speed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The power delivery is silky smooth. It feels very smooth to drive, but driving enthusiasts may miss the feel of proper transmissions. That being said, the automatic gearbox does a superb job in fitting the car’s luxury alignment while ensuring comfortability.

Comfort and Interior
The Audi A4 has a decadent interior full of quality both in material and cabin space. It is partially very convenient with standard leather seats, complete with dual-zone automatic climate control, to ensure comfort no matter the weather on your commute. Also, it can seat five inside, legroom and headroom in both rows in addition to a 12.4 cubic feet of trunk space-above-average for this class of sedan.

Infotainment and Instrumentation
Audi has fitted the A4 with an intuitive infotainment package comprising a 6.5-inch display, USB ports, an auxiliary input, and CD player. The sound system is sharp with speakers placed at both fronts and rears. Even though it is not the most advanced, it is user-friendly and carries its share of features that keep drivers entertained and informed about road conditions.

Safety
However, Audi was always keen to the safety features in its models. The 2009 A4 model, not an exception to this practice, is a complete SUV with many safety features such as ABS and Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD), traction control, and multi-airbag. ISOFIX child seat anchors, anti-theft alarm system and vehicle stability control were also in that model. That is why it is a good car for family purposes or single driving, too.

Steering/Handling
The rack-and-pinion steering system is sharp and sensitive; the A4 drives nicely in heavy traffic, and the climb up a backroad is not worrisome. It has pleasing steering feedback to an otherwise more stimulating drive for those who enjoy that feel of the road way down through the tires.

Conclusion
This 2009 Audi A4 is a phenomenal luxury sedan choice where performance is near perfection, comfort, and the highest level of technology. With an impressive safety record, effective engine, and sublime design, the A4 remains one of those solid choices for a premium vehicle that really scores high in terms of form and function.
