has anybody else had the pleasure of driving the new 05 A4. i was having my passenger side heated autodimming mirror reploaced (under warranty) and the dealer gave me the pleasure of take a beautiful black 2005 A4 1.8T quattro but this one was manual which i don't normally drive but thats what made it that much cooler. i would say more but since i still feel my pulse racing and the realization that i should have gotten my first speeding ticket but somehow charmed or bsed my way out of it (actually its probably cause i was two lights away from the dealer and they beleived me when i said i was just returning it) anyway it was quite an experience but i wish i had been able to test its handled more aggressively but i just had to quench that need for speed. they were alittle annoyed cause i got brake dust all over the wheels its chronic i guess, too bad.

 

I just bought one and had the clutch fail within 2,000 miles. Now I question the reliability of the car. I bought it to ski at Mammoth. Now???

 

any more info on it? sorry to hear about the clutch, that really sucks

 

I havent been lucky enough to drive the new 05s but i have seen them. I drove by the dealership coming back from school and saw the new 05s arrive so i pulled over to take a look. i dont liek the new look at all, i hate hwo the front grill is so big. i donno i am dissapointed by the new look so i went over to the rs6 and drooled over that in the showroom
