Well, so far I have put 400 miles on my 2009 2.0T Prestige and there are a few things I don't like,

1. The auto folding exterior mirrors is absent. This is one of the things I used quite often on my 2002 a4. Narrow garage.
2. The passenger front seat has power adjustment, but there is no adjustable lumbar support like there is on the driver seat.
3. The auto wipers do not "reset" or shut off when the vehicle is shut off. Once they are activated, they stay on until you move the lever into the "off" position. This could be a REAL problem if my wife goes to the car wash after forgetting to turn them off. My 2008 BMW x5's auto wipers reset each time you shut off the ignition and must be turned on again when needed to prevent this.
4. The onboard bluetooth is not fully compatible with most popular LG phones including the Voyager. Acording to the Audi website, the list of compatible LG phones is very short. Every feature works with mine except it will not dial any phone numbers that begin with # or *. This is a problem when trying to unblock my blocked number. If you dial the number from the phone, the car takes over OK, but this sorta defeats the whole purpose of having the bluetooth. I have a Motorola E815 thats about 2 years old and its fully compatible.

Other than these items, the car is incredible. Handles with ease, and the Lane assist works great!

 

Just got my 2.0T Premiere Plus! 330 miles so far!

 

The ONLY things I dont like are:

No LEDS in the tail lights. Big oversight on Audi's part IMO, i guess they reserved them for the S/RS versions .

MMI Ipod interface will not show unicode track names (Such as russian in my case, only shows boxes). Hoping the system can be hacked by loading in European control software (Rented B8 Audi in EU and it was able to display track names in russian without any issues).

 

Fairly short list. I think we can thank the weak dollar for the missing features.

 

Probably not too much to say yet, as there are not that many cars on the road yet, give it a month or two and the compaints for all things increase, cars, electronics etc...just the nature of the web. It is human nature to hear more negative by far then positive things....too bad, still waiting about another week for my new A4 to arrive...

 

Incredible car had ours for 3 weeks now. Way better than the 06 model. I agree some minor things are missing like the mirror issue but size and driving performance much better. Car was much smoother across th power band and rear seats are now uable. Also like the media center design. Wife loves it much beeter than 06.

 

The ONLY thing I dont like about the 2009 A4 is that they made AVANT of it cause it looks ugly :P

2009 A4 as sedan look HOT! Avant.. no thanks..

my 2 cents

 

Saw the avant. It looked not as good so I agree. But inside its awesome.

 

My only dislike was that fact that my dealer didn't have any iPod cables for the 09 model. The dealer still has no idea when they might get these cables in. All in all its a pretty minor issue that is easily overshadowed by how fun this car is to drive.

 

Anybody go for the Piano Black inlays? Im beginning to think im the only one!






Ive also got a complaint. 1000 miles and the driver seat leather is sagging already. I weight 13stone and I only put weight on this when I get out of the car.
