2003 Audi A4 1.8T Avant quattro - Roomy and Zoomy
The A4 sedan was redesigned last year much to the satisfaction of Audi fans. It was a tough job after all. The previous generation A4 was such a strong seller, as much to do with its attractive styling as with its quality built, performance-oriented package that the Ingolstadt automaker couldn't afford to offend.
The new A4 Avant adds to the A4 1.8T quattro sedan's character, literally. It adds about 50 kg (110 lbs) in curb weight, 408 L (14.4 cu ft) of cargo space and $1,450 to the bottom line. More importantly it adds more utility to the Audi lineup.
Audis in general are wonderfully civilized cars, with best-in-class interior materials and superb fit and finish. The A4 Avant follows this pattern with an extremely comfortable and well appointed cabin. The seats are first rate, firm but supportive in all the right places plus heated with no less than six temperature levels - another best-in-class feature.
