C230K vs A4 2.0 Turbo SFI
I am thinking to upgrade my wife's Accord 2.4 165hp iVTEC with
C230K or A4 2.0 Turbo SFI. They both give output ~200hp and about the same price here in HK.
Anyone test drive both and what do you suggest?
BTW, is the 2005 A4 a brand new model or it is just a facelift ?
(The C230K is surely a facelift)
Thanks for suggestions

The 'new' A4 is a mild facelift...two new engines, front/rear design change, changed instrument cluster, changed steeringwheel, minor redesign of the handbrake area (for the good)
its really a 2005.5 model.
From all reviews, the new 'A4' is a hit! Definitely a good competitor for the c230ss

The article I read said it was all new. I think it was AutoWeek I read that in. I could be wrong. To me it looks like the whole body was changed, but you would no more about what was changed living with an Audi everday.
edit: Now that I looked at some more pictures, I can see it is a more of a facelift then of a complete redesign.
