Because the 2009 Audi A4 is new on the market, there is no crash-test data available from either the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). TheCarConnection.com will update this review when data becomes available.
The 2009 Audi A4 does have an exhaustive list of standard safety equipment. Cars.com says that list includes “six standard airbags,” as does Motor Trend, which notes that side airbags for the rear seats are “optional.”
Other standard safety features on the 2009 Audi A4 include anti-lock brakes, stability control, traction control, and LATCH child-seat hooks.
Safety options include the quattro all-wheel-drive system and, Cars.com reports, “Audi Side Assist, which informs the driver when another vehicle is next to the A4, and a backup camera.” TheCarConnection.com notes that the Audi A4’s rear seat also has headrests for all three passengers.
Conclusion
The 2009 Audi A4 has extensive safety features, but hasn’t been tested yet.

2009 audi review

I've just turned my first 1000 miles on my 2009 A4 3.2 quattro. The factory 0-60 est. of 6.3 sec is an understatement. It is no doubt under 6.0. My '05 TT 225hp is rated at 6.3 sec and this is much quicker. The new longer wheelbase gives the A4 a luxury "E-class" feel with a sportier command. I test drove this car (July'08) at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma and compared it against the BMW-3, MBZ C-class and Lexus-IS. None come close to the feel of the Audi. I prefer to drive this car as a daily driver over ANY other car and I own Audi's, VW's, Porsche and MBZ.
Don't know about yours, but I LOVE mine!

I took delivery of my new 2009 Audi A4 1.8T exactly a week ago today. Not only is it a total head-turner, the performance has eclipsed the previous model. Biased is probably an understatement - this is my 6th Audi - but this is a truly awesome vehicle. Much quicker, holds the road with confidence, and the hesitation experienced with the previous model has been eliminated. Even with the increase in horsepower and torque, my first tank of gas averaged 30.9 mpg!
With Bluetooth and an intuitive cockpit, the hands-free media experiences couldn't be easier.
The longer wheelbase smooths out the ride, and the roomier interior is a joy for extra passengers.
And don't you just love the LED running lights?
My only complaint so far: I use a Blackberry which syncs with Outlook. Since I have 600+ contacts, they won't download so that they can be accessed solely through the car instead of dialed from the handset.
Wish the performance was a little stronger

Sounds like a great new audi a4, but performance wise it doesnt seem like it can compete with some of the makes.
