Default Audi A4 Quattro picked 1st place in cars under 25K

Car and driver did a nice little article on the value, fit and finish and handling of the A4 Quattro compared to a few others cars around the same price. Audi 1.8T's are hard hit with the lack of power issue. What they don't let their readers know is that for $250 - $600 anyone can chip their A4 very easily.Chipping besides being the best bargan for a performance upgrade on an A4 (in my estimation), transforms the car into one that will eat up and spit out most 6cyl cars that cost a whole lot more.Something most of us would agree to I think.

Default I can modify the BMW or Saab just as easily, too. the compare stock. Face it, in stock form it need more power. Aftermarket might be diffent, but stock is what the compare.

Default But power is the second easiest thing to modify

...after wheels and tires. The other qualities, that they found more important, are harder to get through modifications.<p>You are right that it is down on power in stock form, but I would still prefer it. If you want power get a Z28, it has 285 HP at the wheels. That is only an extreme example to highlight a point.<p>Todd W
