Passat
If anyone was wondering why the Passat was so much cheaper than the A4 Cheack out the rear suspension. It is completely different than the A4's. No coil overs there. It's got a cheasy purple lit dash also. If the A4 weren't made I still wouldn't buy a Passat. I don't think it's attractive at all.

Re: Passat
Gus, <p>The Passat front-wheel-drive models have the same solid-beam axle rear suspension as the front-wheel-drive Audi A4s. <p>The Quattro system on the A4 necessitates an independant rear suspension. Likewise, the Passat Syncro (AWD) has the exact same rear suspension as the Audi A4 Quattro. <p>-jamie<p><ul><li><a href="http://www.vwvortex.com">www.vwvortex.com</a></li></ul>

how do you figure?
Not trying to start anything here, but I think the A4 has proven itself to be a very good car. There are a few cars with problems, but not enough, IMO to classify it as troublesome. You'd be very mistaken if you thought the Passat would be a better built car than the A4. Both share many, many of the same components ( all the same major components), and both are very well assembled cars and have few problems. <p>Charles<br>

As Jamie stated below...
...the Passat and A4 share the same drivelines, and also the same suspension components. You must have been looking at a FWD Passat and comparing it to the A4 with quattro. I do agree on the purple dash. Someone must have been dreaming of Barney when they thought that one up!<p>Charles<br>

Re: Hello idiot
Have you ever thought that this board is where people come as a "knowledge" base for their A4? This board represents a small portion of A4 owners (probably less than .02%). I've owned Acuras and Hondas that I've posted problems or questions on their respective board. Why don't you go to an Audi dealerships service department and talk to the A4 owners there... from my experience they all love their cars and the only time the car is in the shop is for routine maintenance.
