From the archive: The former underachiever is now a worthy BMW 320i rival.

From the April 1981 issue of Car and Driver.The Audi 4000 has just been rescued from the depths of underachiever status—and not a moment too soon. For two years now, Audi has tinkered along on the development of a front-drive rival for the BMW 320i, with less than competitive results.

Using the same basic suspension design as GM's X-cars , Audi does an unquestiona­bly superior job matching spring and shock rates to give an epoxy performance through the switchiest of switchbacks and an overall feeling of complete confidence in the 5+5's roadability. Unfortunately, this very same suspension tune acts as a simultaneous inter­preter between highway tar strips and the driver's tailbone. The packaging of any 4000 has never been a bone of contention.
