The Cabriolet is now available with all-wheel drive, while all A4s now come standard with a tire-pressure monitoring system, revised steering wheels and two-stage airbags. The 1.8T models have been upgraded with 16-inch aluminum wheels and now offer a six-speed manual transmission as an option.

Pros:

  • Audi A4 Cabrio for the AGES - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    This car offers sleek styling and unbelievable handling even in snow. For a CONVERTIBLE the 2004 Cabrio is quiet with the top up or down. Interior has all the features you`d expect to find in a more expensive car including Satellite Radio, & Navagation system in case you get lost driving to Palm Springs or the Yosemite Park or anywhere else on this planet. This car will get you their in style and comfort. This is one convertible that wants to be driven in both sun or snow without the hint of a reservation

  • After all these years... still fun - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    OK. Had this car 5 years now and wanted to add some perspective to all these reviews. First, car is great and works very well. No major issues while under warranty. A few little things here and there -- warm up when cold is rough and car rattles a bit, cup holder finally bit the dust in dash and will never come out again. (Partly its own fault and partly my anger out of its complete uselessness). Low water light for window washer comes on for no reason. Out of warranty had to have some vacuum hose work done for $700. Overall the car is still great but with all the little nits and nags you would expect with any car after 5 years and 70k miles. Roof great and no leaks!

  • best wagon we ever owned - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    We had a Passat Wagon but this outhandles it over all. Quality , ride and handling are superb, 17 inch wheels and sport package make this wagon fun to drive. This is our second Audi we have an 2003 A-4 sedan , this one is better handling than the sedan. Harper Audi in Knoxville was a great dealership to work with. Iwould buy again from them.

  • A blast to drive but VERY pricey to fix! - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    This is an amazing car to drive. It handles like a dream on both dry roads and ice packed roads. The interior is beautiful and very functional. You will definitely get some head turns with this car. I would, however, anyone who is considering buying this car to reconsider. The car is extremely expensive to fix and seems to have more problems than the average car. I have taken amazing car of the car but unfortunately it has not returned the favor. In the past 6 months I have put approximately $4500 into the car. I dont know how much longer I can keep it up. I would highly recommend looking at a Toyota convertible.

  • Best car ever - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    This car is better than any other. Has awesome stereo lots of bass sounds great. Has lots of power from a 1.8 t. Great sport suspension rides as if the car was riding on rails, love the smooth shifting. Really beats any other car. Great gas mileage, comfortable to drive over 1200 miles.

  • Excellent - 2004 Audi A4

    I love this car. Its sporty, yet has enough room to carry stuff and people. I recommend it to everyone.

  • 5 years of A4 3.0 AWD - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    Excellent car overall. The original tires Pirrelli 4 season are problems. Had side wall bubbles on all 4. Car has been to the garage only for maintenance and to replace the headlight washer cover which fell off twice. 85,000 miles so far. Also problem with wheels, they tend to hit the curbs when parallel parking due to the curve of the wheel they stick out from the tire. They get scrapped easily. Everything else is awesome, Id buy another.

  • 500 miles so far.. - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    .. and I LOVE it. I was going to get the TSX, until I drove the quattro. Im about halfway through the break-in period, so Im still trying to treat it gently. But its so hard to restrain myself. I do not find the car to be at all underpowered (having most of the torque at 1950+ rpm helps). The ride is firm on the highway, but not punishing around town. Its super quiet. And the fit-and-finish inside and out is incredible, even in the trunk. Now Im crossing my fingers my first Audi will be a reliable one.

  • BMW 330Ci to A4 - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    Needed a four door - look at BMW 330i which seem to be over price by $6,000 for the same features BMW - Steer was more boosted and sharper turn in, brakes seem to be firmer. Audi more comfortable Better finish and through my usual corners as fast and sure footed Will be doing track time this summmer - so will see what lap times are. Winter driving in the rain (Seattle) a real plus. Gas milage down by 3 mpg - due to Quattro

  • Better than BMW - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    I have now driven this car for a year and have found absolutely nothing that I didnt love about it. A frind of mine has the BMW 325i and it is nowhere close to the Audi in form or function.
