A4 2.0T quattro beats 6 rivals in Road&Track AWD Sedan Comparo.

In the latest issue of Road & Track Magazine (March 2006), the A4 2.0T S-line is pitted against the BMW 325xi, Infiniti G35x, Lexus IS250 AWD, Mazda Mazdaspeed6, Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT spec.B and the Volvo S40 T-5 AWD.

The comparision is an interesting read, not just because the Audi bests the field.

Final scoring came down in this order:

1. Audi A4 2.0T S-line
2. Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT spec.B
3. BMW 325xi
4. Lexus IS250 AWD
5. Mazda MAZDASPEED6
6. Infiniti G35x
7. Volvo S40 T-5 AWD

To find out more, you'll have to check out pp. 66-79 of the March 2006 issue of Road & Track Magazine.

Re: A4 2.0T quattro beats 6 rivals in Road&Track AWD Sedan Comparo.

No, the same problem again. It is not the S40 that can be compared to all these cars. It's the S60...
BTW, cudos to Audi. But i can't forget that test... BMW x-drive winning over Quattro...
