A42FAST

Hello All,
I need a piece of advice from you..
I have drive tested both cars and they feel the same on the road altough A4 (CVT tranny) seemed faster from a stand still.Most reviews point the fact that BMW is a better car than A4 in most respects.I would lean more toward A4 because the interior is appointed with more luxury features that BMW 325.
Is A4 a better buy with respect to quality/price?
Your advice is appreciated.

KR's A4

Consider that the BMW body will look old sooner than the A4

unless you want the 60/40 split rather then the 25% per wheel.

wasnt sure if you were looking for awd or not.

but if i were to choose between a front wheel and rear wheel on non winter roads. id take rear wheel; however i would never be in that predicament because ill never buy anything except quattro in this price range.

I test drove the 1.8T quattro and the 325xi last year, and it wasn't a hard decision for me. The 325 engine did not impress me, but the $5k higher price certainly did.

The 325 is a fine car, but for less money the A4 gives you a better interior, better awd, and essentially the same power. I liked the A4's handling better, but I did not test drive a 325 with sport suspension. I've heard it's much less impressive than the 330, that there's a big difference between the two models.
