It certainly doesn't have the same power and feel as the 328i,
but "anemic" is a bit strong!  If you want the A4 to move, you
do need to get the revs up a bit, but the car moves!  At least,
I'm having a blast in mine.  And while 7.9 sec 0-60 times may not
leave the car's paint back at the starting line, it's by no
means slow.

Lastly, and most importantly, with a domain of "alaska.net",
I can't believe you'd even bother test driving something that
doesn't have Quattro!!!
