Audi Driving Experience 2008 Dallas

Update: I had to cut this video short because the staff caught me filming with one hand and driving with the other, and told me I would be kicked out if I did it again.

Audi's program to have drivers experience the new 2009 Audi A4 Sedan quattro.

I participated in the Two-Hour Introductory Program, and this program has you drive on two courses.

One is an autocross course where you test drive several other similar-class vehicles to the Audi A4 Sedan quattro. The other cars were all all-wheel drive models with similar specs:
BMW 328xi
Lexus IS250 AWD
Mercedes-Benz C300 4MATIC

On the other course, they teach you the basics of braking and hitting the apexes following the out-in-out form.

It's not an S4...it's an A4.

You're absolutely right! I mistakenly put S4 in the video too. My apologies. I'm correcting in the description.

how do u like those cars?

[kendelux]

After test driving the cars in the autocross course, they asked us our opinions about the cars. It was unanimous that the Mercedes-Benz C300 was the worst.

The best praises went to the Audi S4 quattro and the BMW 328xi. Both equally balanced sportiness, performance, and luxuriousness.

I personally liked the S4's drive feeling and interior more over the 328xi.

The new B8 chassis A4 handles much more neutrally/comfortably than old Audi's and most AWD sedans. Overall - the "rear-drive" (not the xi) BMW is still the sportiest - but in my personal experience - the A4 is the best "all around" vehicle of the bunch.

Why do you think Mercedes C300 was the worst? Is it because of the traction control that can't be turned off?

[Shaft979]

I agree the Mercedes was the worst, and the Audi was great. I really liked the Lexus though. Since I typically don't take 90deg turns at 50mph and get yelled at by the traction control.

I thought the BMW interior looked like an 88 honda accord.
