Article Abstract:
The key to Audi's success with the A4 is its five-valve-per-cylinder technology. A 20 percent gain in valve area boosts horsepower from 172 to 190 at 6000 rpm, and torque goes to 207 from 184 pound-feet. Great handling and a nice accessories package contribute to the A4's success.

The Saab 900 is now available with an array of accessories, including a $435 exhaust system for more power and $275 carbon fiber trim. But foot placement and clutch operation are awkward, and body shudder and flex are significant. Price as tested is a hefty $44,214.

Article Abstract:
A new option on the 1997 Honda Prelude is a four-speed transmission that combines manual and automatic operation. The feature works well during a slow commute, but in overall performance it does not match a five-speed transmission.
