Default Noob here!

Hi everyone I have a 2006 c230 and I just recently noticed the Audi A4 and with some aftermarket wheels it looks amazing . I have some questions though-

How reliable is a newer A4 2005+?

Another reason I want one is because its AWD and should be faster than my c230?

How fast can you actually make these things?

Are they safe?

Are there a lot of aftermarket parts out there for them?

Answers to these questions will be greatly appreciated .[align=left] [/align]

Hi everyone I have a 2006 c230 and I just recently noticed the Audi A4 and with some aftermarket wheels it looks amazing . I have some questions though-

How reliable is a newer A4 2005+? The newer engines aren't prone to the sludge problems like the older ones.

Another reason I want one is because its AWD and should be faster than my c230? As far as speed, it would be close because they are within 100lbs of each other for weight, and the A4 has about 20ft/lbs more torque (2.0T.) If you were getting the 3.0 engine, it's about 40ft/lbs more and 20hp more.

How fast can you actually make these things? Faster than anyone actually needs to go!

Are they safe? Hella yes!

Are there a lot of aftermarket parts out there for them? Not as many as on the older ones (B5 and B6) but it's a fast growing market

Answers to these questions will be greatly appreciated .[align=left] [/align]

Test drive it and welcome to the club! We Audi drivers are so much cooler than Mercedes drivers, anyway!
