TO THE POINT What’s New? The 2005.5 A4 gets the massive grille, new and more powerful engines, added features, freshened styling, upgraded underpinnings.
Selling Points: Available quattro all-wheel drive and 17-inch alloys, standard traction and stability control systems and a four-year/50,000-mile free scheduled maintenance.
Deal Breakers: Unrefined turbo engine, low-quality leather, schizophrenic transmission, and a hefty price tag
Our Advice: Buy it for looks, free maintenance, and quattro capability. Otherwise, consider the 2006 VW Passat.
