[QUOTE="fabianyee, post: 297977, member: 6"] Test drove the new A4 1.8 TFSI yesterday at the Glenmarie Audi 'Hangar'... Initial impression was that the steering was very light at parking pace but felt loaded up during my drive... Does it have variable power steering?? The drive itself: It can withstand my hard cornering and later braking U-turn without much understeer.. which is pretty OK for a FWD luxury saloon. The suspension can be set for Comfort, Dynamic or Auto.. It can get a bit bumpy at Dynamic... Engine has enuf grunt for occasional spirited drive, very little noticeable lag. This is also attributed to the CVT gearbbox holding onto the optimum torque while the speed builds up. different from a conventional autobox. I can't compare to a E90 as I can't recall much of the experience behind the wheels of an E90 to compare with the A4. So go for a drive and see if it's a worthy contender for the E90... BTW, the engine in the B8 A4 is still place in front of the front axle.... Will post up some photos later. But it looks like it's placed a little further back compared to the B7 A4 (the prev gen A4) [/QUOTE]
