Default Read a UK mag's comparo on the 2002 A4 1.8, 2002 bmw 325i, MB 240, a sport version of the Ford

Mondeo (keep in mind that they tested the non-quattro 1.8T) RESULTS:

-BMW and Audi are ahead of the rest by far in all aspects
-MB and the Ford have alot of catching up to do compared to the bimmer and Audi
-BMW has a better engine and chassis (50/50 wieght distribution) than the Audi
-Audi has better build quality, styling, amenities, and desireability. handling/performance is about equal to the bimmer.
-Audi comes up on top as #1 in the lot. BMW #2, I forgot about the order of the other 2 b/c I didn't really pay attention to them.

this was only a 1.8T without quattro that beat the pack...add quattro to the Audi and it'll blow the rest away....looking to see a comparo of the 3.0 to the 330i or 330ci, mb c-320, IS300, and X-type....next month hopefully

Default Autoworld Auto(something) can't remember b/c i've never seen this magazine before

it was the only copy on the rack at barnes and noble....the cover has the bimmer in the front with the other 3 cars in the background with a heading that said something like "which one is the best 3 series?" I guess from now on we can say "Which one is the best A4?" since the A4 won the comparo.
