[A4] Well, moving on...

[Dan DiBiase]

That's something I noticed the first time I pulled into my driveway, which has an irritating lip of about 3 inches higher than street level (don't know why mine is the only one on the street like that)... Compared to my (admittedly old!) '95 Jetta, the A4 felt like it was carved from a solid piece of steel! The rigidity is really noticeable. The trade-off is weight, I guess, but it's worth it, in my mind.

Not to mention their solid structure. The B5 chassis is pretty rigid, but after driving a few Jettas and Golf/GTi's, I wish ours is a little stiffer.
