Audi A4 2.0T Quattro Tiptronic
Peter Frey- Test Drive Guy


     You don't tend to think of cars as time machines, but the top-of-the-line Audi A4 we used for the video test drive made me feel thirty years younger the instant I sat in the racing-style bucket seat and grabbed the fat racing-style steering wheel.

     Granted, this was no ordinary A4, which is an ideal daily driver with a good dose of Germanic character and impressive mechanical credentials.  They all come with, at minimum, a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, Quattro all-wheel drive, power glass sunroof, good seats and a good audio system with satellite radio.  Not a bad basis on which to start building… and build you can.

     The 2014 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro Tiptronic, an excellent car in itself, provides a splendid foundation for building something extraordinary.  Order it with the S-Line package, Prestige Option, Sport Package and Black Optic Package and you have get a time machine with wheels -- a car that makes you feel younger as you drive.
 



 

Audi A6 3.0T Tiptronic Supercharged
Peter Frey- Test Drive Guy

    Our test car was a was a 3.0T Quattro Tiptronic Supercharged, equipped with the long list of gear that makes up the Prestige option, including air-conditioned seats and a great Bose audio system.

    It also had the sport package, as well as the "Innovation" and "Driver Assistance' options, a suite of technology that included infra-red night vision, heads-up display, blind spot warning, back-up camera and a 'birds-eye-view' camera that combines cameras under each rear-view mirror with some computer technology to give you a startling view of the car as seen from directly above.  Takes a little getting used to, but it turns parallel parking from an art into a precision science.

   The overall package, combined with an elegant, European-feel interior, is an absolutely ideal blend of style, performance and driving enjoyment. And once you master all the on-board technology, you actually begin to feel some affection for them, as though they are some sort of electronic friend that's always there to help and watch out for you.  And given how complicated the world is these days; we can all use a friend like that.

 



  
 

Braman Audi Featured in Magazine

AUDI AMERICA PRAISES BRAMAN TECH CLINIC

   Audi has nationally acknowledged Service Manager Jeff Galla and the entire Audi team for Braman Audi's quarterly Technology Clinic. In the magazine "Top Service" (Spring Edition 2013), a full two pages were devoted to recognizing Braman Audi's staff for "reaching out to owners before they had a chance to become frustrated with the advanced technology of their Audi."
 
   The magazine continues to further explain how well Braman Audi worked with customers to make sure the clinic would specifically address any challenges that owners were having. "The event was a unique learning experience for Braman's customers. Many guests were unaware of the advanced features their Audi vehicles offer."  Great job to everyone who helped out and made this event possible!


  

 




               

 






Braman Audi Tech Clinic Observations From the Driver's Seat
Peter Frey / The Test Drive Guy

Jeff Galla Audi service manager had an idea to develop a regularly-scheduled group event, bring all the customers back to the showroom and have specially-trained sales people 'technologists' they're called give them additional training and answer specific questions.


"The event was a great success, so much so that we're going to have to start scheduling them more often to keep the groups small enough to fit in the cars," said service manager Jeff Galla. The idea for the Tech Clinic took six months to develop and was designed to both provide education for the customers so they can enjoy their cars more and to help develop human relationships between customers and the sales and service representatives at Braman Motorcars.

From the customer responses the event was a success and Braman Audi plans to search for new ways to provide the best possible automotive experience for our customers.





  

 
Braman Audi Hosts Ironman 3 Premier
Ironman 3 premiers a day earlier with Braman.

   Braman Audi loves to spoil our customers. When we had the opportunity to host a showing of the all new Iron Man 3 movie before it comes out, we took it. 160 of our customers were invited to watch the movie the day before it came out at Cobb Theaters in Downtown at the Gardens. Of course complimentary popcorn and soft drinks were provided to fully capture the movie experience.

   Braman customers had the opportunity to walk down the red carpet and take their picture in front of the hollywood style step-and-repeat. Of course the movie was a big hit and everyone loved watching Tony Starks E-Tron R8 in action. 

    The Event was topped off with a display of the 2014 Audi R8 V10 in front of the movie theater. Being apart of the Braman family has its perks and this event was just one of them.

Players take to challenging course in Jupiter

Jupiter, FL
May 17, 2012

Rain, thunder, & lightening is how Thursday morning started at The Bear's Club in Jupiter, Fl. There was uncertainty if the Braman Audi Quattro Cup Golf Tournament was going to happen.

Luckily by the 9am shotgun, the clouds kept to themselves and the rain stopped. A total of 56 brave players drove out to their assigned holes to compete in what would be a great game of golf. Of course the Quattro Cup would not be complete without an equally fine display of luxury Audi cars. The Audi R8 , A8 , A7 , A5 , and Q5  were on display for golfers to take a peek at.

As for the course itself, The Bear's Club is not one for beginners. It was conceived to offer members and their guests a world-class golf experience and is one of Americas top 100 golf communities. Braman Audi Customers and friends could not pass up this opportunity to play in such a great tournament at such a prestigious golf course.

Plus, there was the added enticement of a trip to Peb ble Beach for the Palm Beach qualifiers. Congratulations go out to Tom Denning and Peter Cermola for winning the Braman Audi Quattro Cup.

After talking with the winners they explained that it was very challenging because of how technical the golf course was and they are very lucky to have won.
