wait, are we talking automatics here only? like tip vs CVT?

I'm talking about CVT.

Step on the gas past the kickdown point and if it revs to 5900 rpm and stays there it's a CVT.

In it's purest form, if you stomp on the pedal, a CVT should jump to the optimal power range and stay there until you let off the gas. I think Audi figured that people might not like/understand that behavior, so they programmed their CVT to behave a little more like a normal automatic (IE simulated gear changes). In reality, you and I know that there are no gears...

when I labor it back over the "mountian" (1000 feet doesn't really count IMO).

2004 A4 Avant 1.8T FWD CVT stock, no mods (it's brand new) and it's pretty good on gas too, and yes you cannot feel the gear changes,I still blame that for my speeding ticket.. If you floor the gas, it revs up to about 5000 and stays there.

1.8T is for chumps unless you chip that badboy. A jetta will smoke you too.

Stampchez

Just about anything will smoke any A4.
