Overview & Reviews
Audi's entry-level sedan and companion Avant wagon get a complete redesign for 2009. The new A4 is longer and wider, resulting in more interior room and cargo space. The optional Drive Select system allows the driver to customize steering, suspension and transmission settings, and a rearrangement of the front axle has yielded a less-nose-heavy weight distribution. New technology features include direct injection for both engines, adaptive cruise control, a blind-spot warning system and a revised version of Audi's MMI systems controller. The convertible A4, however, carries over from last year.
- Luxuriously appointed cabin, above-average passenger and cargo space, good ride and handling balance, widely available all-wheel drive.
- Not as quick as many rivals, controls can be fussy, convertible employs previous-generation platform.

One of the best wagons available - 2009 Audi A4
By rollwaveroll - February 18 - 7:12 pmI swapped a Tundra pickup for this wagon and love the car. Best combination of size, performance, and practicality on the market. Wonderful handling and when the turbo kicks in, breathtaking acceleration. Lots of features and techno gadgets even in the base model. As can be expected from Audi, top notch interior build although the gray metallic plastic around the instrument panel seems cheesy, why didnt they just use the aluminum trim like in the rest of the car. The radio controls take some getting used to and the steering wheel audio controls frustratingly dont let you scroll among preset stations only. This car is a looker and gets lots of attention, a top choice among wagons!

Update - 2009 Audi A4
By John - February 16 - 7:05 pmOriginal post- 09/28/08 Car remains a blast to drive- stereo remains a favorite, bi-xenon lights are worth extra money. Significant difference in driving in S mode and super fun on twisting roads. Car handles fantastic in winter (installed winter tires & with all wheel drive - go anywhere as along as snow drifts arent too high) Car is low - watch out for curbs & cement stops in parking places! Overall am very pleased with purchase after 4 1/2 months driving - you still want to go out just for the heck of it! What could be better - more horsepower (?), ride over bumps could be a bit smoother (but then youd lose the sports car feel). Just a great car!

A4 with Sport Package - 2009 Audi A4
By Craig - February 13 - 4:07 pmI got the A4 with Premium Plus, Nav and the Sport Package in Quartz Grey four months ago. The styling of the A5 caught my attention and when Audi applied it to the A4, it when to the top of my list. Beautiful interior with Aluminum Trim (not cheap plastic like my Chrysler) with plenty of leg room all around and the layout is excellent. The Engine has plenty of power and the brakes are amazing. The ride is a little stiff with the Sport Package and 18" low-profile summer tires, but it tracks around corners fast and flat. Sport seats hold you in place and are comfortable on long trips. Safest car Ive ever owned. Thanks to Edmunds for supplying loads of info towards my purchase.

Luxurious appointed interior/exterior - 2009 Audi A4
By Li7 - February 13 - 11:49 amI love this car, and it has been great. At 1200 miles it feels like a dream to drive... no issues. I get plenty of compliments and makes me feel happy to drive it. The engine has good giddy up in the low-speed range. Once youre higher up, engine feels like it struggles to move up, nevertheless its fast enough for me unless youre looking for a speeding ticket.

Excellent Ride - 2009 Audi A4
By Wdan - February 8 - 11:51 amWent from an 06 A4 2.0 Quattro to this. This is the 06 all grown up. The ride is tremendous and smooth. Very quiet in the cab which is great for blue-tooth calls. Handling is superb. Handles even better over 90 as all German cars should. Excellent off the line. Sport mode is stellar with the v6. Light package makes you feel like a rock star as you turn heads.

Best Car EVER! - 2009 Audi A4
By Nickkkkkkkkk - February 6 - 6:14 pmIn January I traded in my 2006 BMW 530i in for the 2009 Audi A4. It seems like it should compete with the 5, because of its roominess and standard features. This car is the perfect size and its more fun to drive than my BMW. Great value. I love my Audi!

Good car, but consumes oil - 2009 Audi A4
By scriptx - January 29 - 1:00 pmI love the car, it is quiet, low road noise. But, it burns oil. At 600 miles I have had to put in a half quart already. Furthermore, you would think for a car that burns so much oil, it would come with a dipstick, but, it does not. I wish I would have researched problems like this before buying. I do regret my decision now, oh, and for Audi, the current oil consumption is within their limits so, I drive with oil in my trunk at all times.

Hits The Mark - 2009 Audi A4
By PaigeLGOIT - January 26 - 12:56 pmIn the three years leading up to this car, I drove a Saab 9-3. And I admittedly enjoyed the car. But after driving the Audi A4, I cant imagine ever going back to another manufacturer. The handling is tight, the speed is quick and the ride is firm without being hard.

Love this car! - 2009 Audi A4
By RipLip - January 19 - 5:34 pmLove this car. Its fun to drive and has character. It may not be the fastest in its class, but it is fast enough. The interior design is excellent and the interior space is much more roomier than the older A4s. Personally, I think the exterior design is nicer than the 3 series and C class.

No More Corvettes - 2009 Audi A4
By NJLawyer - January 15 - 7:42 pmAfter two Corvettes, I decided I needed something more practical but still fun to drive. The Infiniti G37X was a little too small and too stiff and the 328xi a little too expensive. The A4 was just right. It handles well and accelerates nicely with the turbo 4. I dont think the V6 adds much more. It holds 4 people comfortably. I wouldnt go for 5 unless 3 are very small. The trunk is huge. The interior is handsome and the sound system is fine. This is my first experience with BlueTooth and its much better than OnStar.
