WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
A state-of-the-art front or four-wheel drive chassis; elegant, well-proportioned looks, superb build-quality and, so far, good reliability.一名美国最尖端战线或四轮驱动底盘;高雅、善意的比重看,精湛的建造质量,到目前为止,可靠性好. The diesels are remarkably economical, the petrol 1.6s a bit on the slow side and the 1.8 turbos understated motorway flyers.柴油还真节约、汽油1.6s就有点缓慢和180高速公路传单turbos低估. Add in the warranty cover which will still apply to most examples you'll find and these cars are an intelligent buy as well as a desirable one.加上在保修范围,则仍适用于多数实例中,你就会发现,这些车买智能以及可取.
Equipment levels are relatively high (for a German vehicle at least) and you'll find that most cars have the superior SE spec.装备水平比较高(至少对德国车),你就会发现,大部分车都优于硒光谱. An A4 can be optioned even further though, so don't be surprised to find air-conditioning, leather trim, remote central locking and rear electric windows in many cars.正确选择一个能更进一步的A4虽然如此,不难空调、皮革修剪、中央锁、电动窗后方偏僻许多汽车.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
You won't find an A4 for less than about £2,500 and that will be an early 1.6 saloon - not the most desirable model.你不会找一个A4规定少于2500英镑左右,而将于6月1日球馆早日不是最理想的模式. The 1.8 is a better bet as you get the economy but performance is much better.180打赌你得到一个更好的经济表现,但有更好. An N-reg 1.8 SE should be around £3,400 and a base model about £200 less.一个氮再生八月一日硒应该示范基地和3400英镑左右约200英镑以下.
N-reg cars can be both saloons and Avants.氮可再生车都发廊、avants.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
You'll do well to find anything notable here.您找到什么好显这里. Check the service books, especially with Quattros and/or diesels as repairs will be frighteningly expensive if there's major transmission or turbocharger trouble that the warranty doesn't cover.检查服务书籍尤其quattros和/或柴油作为修理将有恐吓昂贵的大型涡轮增压器故障,发射或保修范围不包括. Corrosion is simply not an issue with Audis and another reason why resale values are high.腐蚀根本不是一个问题与奥迪、转售价值高的另一个原因.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on an M-reg A4 1.8 with air con) A clutch assembly kit will be around £185 and a exhaust system (without catalyst) could be about £225.(大约基于米的A41.8空气再生行骗)离合器装配套和185英镑左右将排气系统(无催化剂)能约225英镑. An alternator should be close to £100 and a radiator around £130.一个发电机应接近100英镑和130英镑左右的散热器.

ON THE ROAD 在路上
A car that finally has the measure of a BMW 3 series and certainly of any Mercedes.车子终于有了一个衡量,当然任何三号系列宝马奔驰. Wet or dry, the chassis grips like glue, inspiring confidence with its steering sensitivity and elastic ability to change direction even after you've committed yourself to another course.潮湿或干燥,就像胶水正视底盘、启发信心有能力与督导敏感性和弹性,甚至改变方向后的另一个你自己犯下场.
It helps, too, that the driving position is also almost faultless, thanks to a low-set dashboard and a height and reach-adjustable steering wheel, banishing the feeling you got in previous Audis that you were sitting at the bottom of a pit.它有助于,这种主动地位也几乎无可挑剔,由于低载、仪表板、高达可调方向盘放逐的感觉你说你在以往奥迪坐在坑底部.
OVERALL 总体
If you haven't considered a used A4 before, you're likely to find the lines to be very obviously Audi-esque, but you can't deny that the car has a determined stance.如果你还没有考虑用A4规定之前,你会发现线路是非常明显奥迪-esque,但你不能否认有车的坚定立场. The Ingolstadt-based company has produced stylish models before of course, but many of them have proved to be dynamically disappointing.塔特奥迪的一家公司制作模型之前当然有气派,但不少已被证明是动态失望. This one sets the record straight.一本集的纪录. A quality product which is deservedly changing Audi's fortunes in the UK and offering the used buyer a second chance to own a great car.产品质量是当之无愧改变奥迪的财富,在英国的使用,并提供第二次机会给自己买了一大轿车.
