Default Trade Is250 To 2009 Audia4

Hi there,
I have been a active reading member quite some time now.
I bought a 2007 IS250 in august 2007. I have always admired AUDI'S, and i like there "No nonsense" looks and performence. Audi is coming out with all new A4 for 2009, and i am thinking of trading my IS for this. Share your opinions and also check out this link and let me know how's it http://microsites.audi.com/a4microsite/html/popup.html

Dang the is a sweet A4. Definitely worth the trade. I love the LED's in the front, reminds me of the Aston Vantage.

Maybe I will even trade in my 07 IS250 for it!

i voted no... I have never liked the over all styling of Audi's. I detailed a Audi S6 today with the V10 Gallardo engine and i was not impressed at all. Audi has never done it for me. Plus the A4 is a chick car, well at least i have never met a dude with one. Save some money!!!!

So is that 250 your driving bub, there's 3 250's on my block all driven by chicks...

Audi's are nice cars, the LED's in the head lights look retarded. Tons of aftermarket. It's your money, do what you want to do. Why do you need approval from this crowd???

The new A4 is nice, but I'm definitely looking forward to the upcoming twin-turbo S4.

Well, let's talk about function.

What will the A4 provide that the IS250 does not have, other than "being newer"? What does the IS lack for you? (and don't be pursuaded by what other people think [like if the 250 is not powerful enough, or the A4 is a girl's car, or whatever]; think about what is best for you...)

I like Audis too, but never took the plunge to actually own one. The big reason is reliability. The mechanical and electrical problems begin after 4 years. If you're leasing it then it's not an issue. It'll be under warranty and you get no charge scheduled maintenance. If you plan to own then you need to consider this. I chose Lexus over the Germans because of excellent customer service and reliability.

haha, "the audi is a chick car" thats comical because 90% of the IS250's i see are driven by women. On another note, if you are looking for quattro, better suspension, at the expense of maintenance and weight distribution (I'm sorry but the near 60/40 split on most audis is atrocious) then go for it. I think the new A4 is a looker, especially since it got raped with s5 styling (a good thing) and they are definitely fun cars to drive.

Besides the LED's what else is special about it? I don't think that it looks better than a current model 250. Definately not an upgrade.. maybe if you just leased a 250 then it might make sense.

I personally do not like the LED on the headlight. It just looks like a cheap aftermarket upgrade and am I alone on this or does the LED looks like a french mustache?

The concept A4 looked a lot better too because it had a coupe shape and line. It was smoother and a bit more slick from the middle to the back. The production car is a bit more boxier in comparison, then again it may just be me.

audi is more of a chick or homosexual car.... not saying it is but it has been refered to it in the past... not so much anymore... Well audi has many problems... from the very simple to the complicated... and its fwd which sucks! ... if u trade it in u will be in for a big disappointment... if anything get a BMW instead... better reliability too than the audi...

If you plan to change cars before the warranty expires, then it's ok....but if you plan to keep the car for long....I think the IS will cost much less for maintenance.....
