Besides awd, what is different about the a4 1.8t from the jetta 1.8t? Also if you guys could tell meopinions on whyAudi is better than BMW 3 series or MBZ C class that would be awesome. Thanks.</P>

Go test drive and look inside
each car for difference. Then drive
around town. The biggest deal maker is
that EVERYONE ELSE owns a bmr or mbz.

A Jetta shares the same platform with the Golf (the A platform), while the A4 and the Passat are sitting on the B platform (hence the B5 and B6) so the ONLY similar component between a Jetta and the A4 is the 1.8T

now, whether BMW, MB or Audi is better is everyones personal preference. MB has the best luxury, but it doesnt come with stickshift at all. Audi has the quattro, can be sporty, and it has some luxuries. Same for BMW except that it comes standart with RWD, as opposed to Audi's FWD, which is more sporty and BMW has more power with the inline V6 which is also an extremely smooth and well engineered engine.<edited><editID>Firestarter1984</editID><editDate>38052.8255555556</editDate></edited>

If I didn't need a car that handled nice in the winter.. I'd get a BMW 3 series coupe. Since Audi offers the best rated AWD system and I live in Central Iowa... the A4 is a healthy choice for myself.</P>


As for the MBZ.. I cannot afford one of dem!</P><edited><editID>ArkAngl</editID><editDate>38053.5851157407</editDate></edited>
