Audi driving experience program

wanna325i · 09-22-2008, 03:13 PM

Past Sunday we went to Audi driving experience program, where you can test the New Audi A4 on Miami Homestead speedway where they race Indy500 or Nascar. We were 10 min late and the driving school has began which held in a classroom. They talk about the New A4 and its technology. Then we spilt in 2 group. Group A will be driving on the track frist and Group B will start driving in Auto-X couse which have BMW 328xi,MB C300 4-matic and Lexus IS250AWD.

Once we arrived the track they taught us how to find your right driving position. Then we got send to the track in group of 4. I had so much fun driving on the track. Also we experience a system called( Audi driver select) which you can adjust your suspension/ streeting and engine response.

After that we went over to the auto-x couse which it is low speed but with alot turn.

This is how I will rate them. Performance ONLY

Last--MB C300 4Matic- Slow streeting/ slow engine response and way too soft suspension. Brake padel feel suck.

Third-Lexus IS250 AWD- Too little streeting feel. Power kinda of soft. Weak lower RPM response.

Second- BMW 328xi- There is delay on gas padel.

First- Audi A4 3.2- Just little light on streeting side. Wonder how will 2.0T perform.

Last...Me sitting in R8..LOL

And my gf driving on track

Nice pics and write-up. Were you in "DS" mode in the 328?

Cloud9blue · 09-22-2008, 07:13 PM

not a fair comparison, since 3.2 is the top of the A4 lineup. they should have used 335i

I asked them why not 335xi. The answer is the price and truth is 335i/xi would go head to head with S5..

Wow they compared 3.2 audi with sport packages to the base bmw/lexus/benz nonsports. Pretty funny, the A4 3.2 is the same price range as a 335xi for the most part.
