Great online magazine for those who don't know Winding Road
Reviews are fairly consistent and honest. Unlike other magazines where they're all over the place from one review to another and sometimes wonder how much they're paid to say nothing negative about the cars.

Yeah, I always look for things that show the reviewers know nothing about Audi's.
<A HREF="http://reviews.cnet.com/sedan/2007-audi-a4-2/4505-10865_7-32031755.html" target="_blank">CNET.com's A4 2.0TQ Tiptronic review</A> is a good example:
"Although the A4 doesn't have as much acceleration hesitation as the Audi Q7 we reviewed previously, it's still there. Stomping the accelerator from a stop does not deliver wheel-spinning power."
No ****, Sherlock. Man, I have trouble peeling out in my 6 speed. Peeling out in any 200hp, AWD is rather difficult. It would have been more appropriate to state that going WOT from a standstill in wet conditions produces hardly any wheelspin, unlike similarly powered FWD and RWD counterparts.
About the lack of power coming out of a corner:
"We attribute this hesitation to some overzealous programming of the traction control, which is designed to keep the tires in contact with the pavement."
How about the fact that you're driving an auto?
"The steering wheel controls the best part of the A4, the handling."
LOL.
