dossier. The fact that the successor of very successful model Audi 80 will be called Aya, became known in the fall of 1993. By this time the works on the machine, which were being lasted are more than five years, already approached their completion, pereydya into the stage of finishing tests and adjustment of production equipment. Only, the curtain of a strict secrecy remained around what 192, appearance of automobile, since it became the basis of the firm design of production Audi for the next years. But numerous espionage photographs and figures of concrete reported nothing, because they often contradicted each other. As it will be explained more lately, were not confirmed rumors about the fact that the body of machine will be made from aluminum.
Thus continued up to September 1994- GO, when "living" series models officially appeared before the automobile press. In native Germany into sale Aya it entered, until only with the body sedan, during November, and specialist appears only for following yr, on the exhibition in Bologna. It will pass entirely a little time, and Audi A4 Avant will divide with Porsche 911 Carrera 4 national prize of Germany in the region of industrial design in 1996. Generally yr 1996-1 became for the model triumphal: then Emanuel' pyrro at the the plant Aya quattro became the champion of German body superiority STW, Frank bil it conquered in British VTSS, and under the curtain itself, during November, machine occupied the third place in the competition the automobile of 1997. Conveyor continued to work on the total power - for example, with the plan in 1995 in their 250 000 machines were released more than 290 by 000, whereas the millionth mark Aya it overcame during December 1998- GO. In the past February into sale entered the renovated automobile, which differs from the previous version in terms of bumpers, by radiator grill, by backing lamps and by lens head optics. But days Aya are considered - the production of the model of the second generation any minute now will begin. Audi A4 Originally was positioned on the market as automobile for the energetic drivers. Eight main engines and all-wheel-drive modification with the shortened to one centimeter wheel base - this yet not all. Is let out also the "charged" modification S4 with the 30- valve motor V6 with a power of 265 hp, and well-off auto-epicures can order unique R with the 380- strong cursor. Without going into the technicalities of machine, let us lead the only and eloquent parameter - boundary into 200 km/h R it subjugates for 17.7.
We will be introduced to the most modest "four", armed by base 1.6- liter motor - until recently automobile in this assembly in view of a number of the special features of Russian legislation was most attractive for the buyer.

Outside. Aya and flag A8 left to the scene into one and the same yr with the interruption into several months and became for ingol'shtadtsev of their kind transition stage from sufficiently thinned models 80 and 100 to the creations in the style of "indastrial" - A' the second generation, TT and newest A2. In Aya A' more general how can seem - they, for the company with the the present Volkswagen Passat, they are built on one platform.
"four" distinguish the restrained, solid design "without the varigated pattern", that faster being suitable for sedan of business- class; however, this goods more greatly is oriented to the clientele of average age, and relative to young buyers draw other entirely features. Them- that for sure will arrive on the soul the high waist line, and the inflated sidewalls of body, which contribute the notes of sportivnosti, and strong, rounded "parrot". It turns out that on Aya no one to drive is dishonorable. At least, designers Audi tried to the glory so that we thus could say.

Inside. Laconicism, adherence to style and quality - here three principles, on which rested the engineers with the design of salon. Assume that in finishing of interior not the most expensive materials are used, then the details made from them leave the sensation of quality and soundness and absolutely they do not discord with the general idea of machine. And, most important, there is no sensation, that somewhere or on by something they attempted to save.
Perhaps, main minus of automobile be worth naming the insufficient comfort of rear passengers. However, no one of the compatriot- classmates - either BMW E36 or Mercedes- benzo W202, by separately spacious salon brag they cannot. Rather better the matter proceeds in Opel Vectra B and Volkswagen Passat B4, but, you will agree, they relate to somewhat different social layer. Thus, to be moved three together on the rear seat Aya actually only not far and not long, 191 and even if from behind go two, then to sit by them at the people by increase hearth 190 cm is not very convenient - to nowhere place feet. Yes even ceiling continually aims to enter into the contact with the heads, so that remains to be comforted by sliding head rests and container, disguised under the elbow-rest.
However, let us change seats forward. Here here situation is entirely different. And spaces much, and rigid seats themselves, whose entire charm fac you evaluate only in the distant trips, possess the broad bands of adjustment lengthwise and along the height; plus to everything, they are equipped with preheating. One observation - the knob, which changes the angle of the slope of back is located very inconveniently, but, true, to use it it is necessary only rarely.
Control and lever of gearbox is simply ideal. In general, the steering column is regulated on the height, but are moved they in this case on barely. According to firm diagram, to Aya three podrulevykh switches - with the right, "glassing-clean" (moreover sprayers are included by separate toggle switch), everything is understandable, and the pair of leftists is organized as follows: that that pokoroche, answers for the regimes of head light, and more authentic - for the turn indicators. Treadle knot is strongly displaced to the right, well also that is provided the area for leisure of left foot.
Instrument panel with the large dials of tachometer and speedometer is read to five marks. Speedometer Aya is equipped with the very practical nonlinear scale: after the mark "100" of division are compressed and in this order follow to "260". Odometer and hours are executed on the liquid crystals, and their window visually is combined with the located symmetrically to the right display of on-board computer.
Conditioner with the completely knob control - accurately the same, what we saw on AE and A' the first generation. There are in it their pluses and minuses: from one side, the clarity of information and simplicity in the rotation, with another - low arrangement, because of what for the work with it it is necessary to be distracted from the road. But here sliding glass-holder is placed at the very honorable place, in the upper part of the central console (two additional such necessities for the Americans, yes not simple, but with the catchs, they are located between the front seats).
In spite of the presence of two pillows of safety, the designers of "four" left by it glove box. Certainly, valuable it did not come out - wide, but shallow; however, as worthy compensation for the inconveniences serve capacious pockets in the doors even two shelves for the papers and any trifle under the steering column. The electric drives of front glass and external mirrors, the spring-opposed handrails above the door apertures and mirrors in the visors under the movable shutters in the machine of this class and this model appear by by themselves itself being understood. But here is tender the raspberry-colored illumination of the buttons of the illumination of salon - actually stylish element. The volume of baggage hold is equal to 440 liters, what is index not by most put outting themselves. But if we accumulate the back of the rear seat, and it is removed only wholly, that its capacity grows to 720 liters. The button of the lock of baggage carrier is hidden in the protrusion under the indentification tag, that, in principle, must safeguard your hands from the contact with mud the shutting occurs into two stages: first you pull for the knob, fastened from the back side of cover, and then it is necessary to lean on it palm, so that risk nevertheless remains to be soiled, although it is reduced to the minimum. Boot-lid is thrown open degrees to one hundred, opening to looks the cargo hold, stopped up between the coming out wheel niches. To the right in it there is a groove under the "associated goods", and backup hides itself under coating of floor, you will notice, full-scale that in our time it becomes rarity.

V motion. Because of the narrow counters of body, field of view from the place of driver in Aya excellent, and left mirror with the variable curvature decreases the so-called "blind" zone.
Motor develops on the bottoms torque not bad for its working volume. We move and immediately note the transparency of the work of the drive of cohesion. So obediently machine answers to the pedal displacement of gas, but revives engine only to 3500-4000 revolutions and gaily it twists itself up to 6500. Considerable pleasure delivered the clearness of gearshift, although the extent of movements was biggish. There are no claims to the brakes - anti-blanking system, and that is activated nenavyazchivo and it is practical 192 and it is unnoticeable.
There are hints to the fact that Audi A4 more greatly loves operational space, than urban throng. With her entire bright controllability with scanty insufficient povorachivayemost'yu and skill as to templet to draw trajectory, to machine now and then, especially in the sharp turns, does not be sufficient reactive usi f87 Leah on the control. But machine behaves excellently on the route - all indications automobile carries out as dzhinn from the Arab fairy tale, its reactions are distinct and forecast. There is in automobile such, is at first glance, insignificant feature, as the well perceptible zero position of "baranka" - but how due to this calmer on the soul during the motion at the high speed!
After reading the previous paragraph, you will be able to draw some conclusions apropos of the characteristics of suspension and in many respects you will prove to be right. Check. Thus, suspension Audi A4 is sufficiently rigid, confidently is managed manage the insignificant unevennesses, including by transverse, and not making possible for body to swing on the gently sloping waves. Accordingly, it distinctly reacts to the defects of coating average value, to say nothing of large pits, and meticulously "reads" road profile at the average speeds.
For which automobile one should praise in the separate order, so this for the isolation from it is noise and vibrations. The sound of engine is prevailed only on the high revolutions, but loud or obtrusive it you will in no way name separately. But that about the vibrations... practically there are not.

Resume. If we sum up the sum from an image- economic point of view, then it will sound then: Audi A4 1.6 - the cheapest sedan from the production of prestige German stamps. But it is possible also thus: respectable automobile for the active drivers. This present Audi with the longitudinal arrangement of power unit, studied by controllability and neskuchnym motor; the machine, with which when it is desired to easily find common language machine, to the equal degree agile in the city and steady on the route. And not this already poor capital investment, since for the acceptable money you obtain the sufficiently slowly being depreciated automobile of the collecting popularity model. Selection - after you.
