Three Audi A4s, three different power trains.

You could immediately hear the fury of exhaust notes these cars made a mile away before you get to see them. The leader of the pack was a special blue wrapped, naturally aspirated V6 3.2L FSI Quattro variant. Acting as sidekicks were two other A4 variants in murdered black and glorious white - a 1.8T FSI S-Line and a 2.0T FSI S-Tronic Quattro respectively - all tuned to unlock their engines' potential. 

Upon arrival, the trio quickly formed up behind our all-ready cam car to capture the first runs under an overcast morning sky. As we fired away the shots, it was inherent to us why the A4 continues to be one of the more popular executive sedans in the market, especially in the used car market. 

Thanks to its bold styling and clean lines, the A4 still look timeless today despite being close to a decade old. It could also be the fact that the B6 A4 was the brainchild of Peter Schreyer way back two generations ago at Audi that has kept this design influence going strong. The A4 has the ability to blend spirited driving performance with passenger comfort at a reasonable price. This combination of factors is probably her recipe of success.



This is the reason why this A4 is so good looking. We usually don't approve of sticking a big ass GT wing on a 4-door sedan but the owner took a gamble and it pays off handsomely, literally. 

The machine is German but the heart is JDM. You can tell by the number of decals shouting Japan which the owner has stuck to the car. 

The owner of this bewitching red Audi A1 Sportback is a fan of lush greens and heritage roads. Well, actually most city dwellers like you and me do. Who wouldn't? Having face the concrete jungle for most of our waking times, we long for that little escape into the wild to get back in touch with mother nature.

The striking Misano red supermini took to the B-roads gladly, much to delight of the owner. The premium 1.0 litre A1 Sportback is a surprising little car. Despite being a 3-cylinder (Audi's first), the engine doesn't sound nor drive like one, thanks to a small turbocharger and direct injection technology. It is adequately fast, nippy and hugs dearly to the tarmac whenever we push it round the corners. Some say it's built to rival a Mini Cooper but in reality, they are two very different cars in terms of drive and styling.

Overall, the A1 Sportback is a very fashionable looking car, and there are no doubts on the equipment and interior luxury trims. With the downsizing of the engine capacity, it is definitely a car built for lower running costs and taxes for the smart urbanites.
