Testing an A4Q vs the 330i sort of tips the results in the BMW's favor.
Also C&D needs to post their data so readers can compare and make conclusions of their own...these subjective, anecdotal comparisons are rather worthless.

Have you ever driven the 3.0 CVT. If not do so and then talk about performance. The CVT has performance numbers (0-60) equal to the 6spd Quattro. You might be suprised by how neutral the new suspension is, even without the Quattro. Anyway the CVT is anything but a slushbox. I have driven both (and the Tip) and it is truly a tossup as to how much I need the AWD in Tulsa, OK. That and the fact I could actually GET a 3.0CVT configured the way I want it where the 6spd I might be lucky to get it by June... (and I am not saying what year)

that is why the audi would beat it. The CVT is impressive technolgy. I have a A4 FWD and quattro is better when it comes to out and out performance.

I love Audis. I used to own a 98 1.8t. Why is it impossible for some people to like cars other than the brand that they own? I love Audis and BMWs. Quattro is great, but RWD is so much more fun. I got a good set of snows (Winter Sport SPs). My car handled the little snow that we had in North Jersey nicely. I'm a hard-core Quattro lover, but my 330i's traction is much better than I thought it would be, in rain and in snow. I considered the S4, but that body style is starting to get a little long in the tooth. And besides, coming from a 1.8t I needed a change.
Oh yeah, what's up with Audi's Navigation system? Europe gets the big screen but Americans don't. I guess Audi thinks that they are saving lives. Audi needs to get with the program.<ul><li><a href="http://members.bellatlantic.net/vze28g3k/public_html/welcome.html">My 330I</a></li></ul>
