Default 2009 Audi A4, Slow Off The Line?
Hey Guys,

I just got a 2009 Audi A4 FrontTrack and I am loving it!!! I have noticed it is a little slow off the line. I step on the gas and it takes a good second for it to respond.

Is this normal?

Default Where are you located? I thought dealers only had quattro's...
that's what I was told but it's been over two months that I've had my car...either way my 07 A4 had the CVT transmission and I felt the same lag, I guess you just get used to it.

I don't remember this lag when test-driving the 08 CVT.

Default Same issue with my 07 Frontrak CVT
Thats why for my 09 I got quattro. CVT just had too many issues for me. Plus after a year I started getting numb to the car never ever ever shifting!
btw, frontraks just starting showing up...
