Audi A4 2.0T: Long-term test update

Here is an update of Inside Line's long-term test with the Audi A4 2.0T. Seems like the Audi A4 found some new admirers.

After 16,000 miles of driving, we still can't stop talking about the 2005 Audi A4's turbocharged 2.0-liter engine.

The 200-horsepower four-cylinder is the strong and silent type, providing acceleration so smoothly and with so little effort that hitting high speeds is dangerously easy. "For some reason, everything becomes a starting line: the freeway on-ramp, waiting for a red light to turn, even stop signs," confessed Production Editor Caroline Pardilla in the logbook. "I just love the way I can launch to 60 mph in mere seconds without feeling or hearing a thing."

Director of Automotive Testing Dan Edmunds also enjoys the dynamics. "I really like the ride of this one: well damped but not too firm," he wrote. "That, combined with a shake-free body structure, produces a superb quality feel. I also appreciate the low-end grunt of the 2.0T engine. Turbo lag? What turbo lag?"
