    Looking for the vehicle that deserves top ratings? This is it! From the fine tuned exhaust to silky smooth transmission to the beautifully ap- pointed interior, this A4 wraps around you with heart throbbing emotion just as it wraps around corners with ground hugging agility. Truly a balanced combi- nation of form, function and FUN!

  • 120 is achieveable - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    I have gone 120mph in this car twice wont do it again, though, my passengers in the car said the car didnt even feel like it was going that fast. overall the car is awesome, living in the east coast, Quattro is a must and the grip it provides is amazing on the road, other than that the car is a piece of art, I was looking at the 3 series before I got my A4 but, the a4 was the better value and better looking.

  • Only Time Will Tell. - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    I have only owned this car for about 4 1/2 months. And I love the cars design, material quality and control layout. Im very happy with the handeling and even the rather small engine. But there seems to be issues with the windows and rain sensor, there are a few plastic interior rattles that annoy me. The audio system is terrible (Symphony system). Im not disappointed,

  • Good/Fun Car! - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    I have owned Audi for just about a year now! I am the type of person to get over my cars within a year. So far, I am still loving it! It handles great! I love to drive it long distances, due to how comfortable it is. It was between the BMW 325 CI or this and I am so glad I choose this car!

  • Jetta Jettison - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    So I ditched the 08 Jetta. What a piece of junk compared to this car. This car handles better, sounds better, look better, and feels better. I lost a lot of money on the Jetta - I had two, thats right 2 2008 Jettas. They lacked everything this car has and I paid less for this used Ultrasport. I am thoroughly impressed.

  • Good car, expensive to keep - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    The A4 quattro is great however the cost to repair and keep the car is pretty expensive. The windshield wiper arms and control were replaced for 500+ dollars, 4000 dollars worth of repair after rear end collision, torque converter failure at 67000 miles, dead battery after 4 years (134 dollars non Audi battery) I liked the car in the beginning but it got costly to keep especially with premium gas at 4.30+/gal. Also the car was never the same after the accident.

  • MPG worries? - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    I had concerns since most reviews I found mention an average of about 21-25mpg. I have found that reasonable driving habits have given me a combined average of 32.1mpg on regular gas over the last 20,000 miles! Of course if you bought this car to really drive it you wont do so well, but I was so impressed with the design, quality and ride that I got it to enjoy those features (I drive about 30,000 miles per year and dont race, or even speed much). A buddy of mine who does have a lead foot gets about 21mpg on premium in his 2001 A4 2wd.

  • 2004 silver ultra sports 1.8T - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    When I first saw the car I loved it. Its fun to drive with an all wheel drive system, very comfortable and well built. The only bad thing that I had was the 2 weeks after I got the car the coil pack went out, which mean miss fire on one of the cylinders. Easy fix, and thats the only problem I have, since then its been a joy ride.

  • 3.0 L A4 FWD CVT - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    I have found my A4 to be an outstanding car. I have been very satisfied with the comfort, reliability, styling and road handling capabilities of the 3 liter FWD. I have to admit the 1st gear off the line in auto sometimes hesitates but a simple fix if you need the get into traffic acceleration is to switch to select manual. There is negligable drop in RPM when in auto at gear changes - if you can feel it-pure acceleration. Fuel ecomony is fine - if you dont dog it and cruise sensibly - below 65 - I have gotten 30 mpg on the highway - 20 in town. The non turbo 3 liter is a great engine.
