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.

  Fantastic! - 2009 Audi A4
  By Melissa - April 18 - 11:24 pm

  Ive had my A4 Premium Plus for about 6 months and Im still completely in love with it. It is always so much fun to drive especially around turns on the parkway. Best car Ive ever owned, my old Mercedes does not even compare to this car. It hasnt failed me yet. Not to mention, heads turn when I drive down the street, the cars gorgeous!

  Fun to Drive, Smooth Ride! - 2009 Audi A4
  By sla-ny - April 17 - 7:57 am

  Previously owned two 6-cylinder Jaguar X-Types. The Audi A4 ride is fantastic the 4-cylinder Quattro engine is very powerful. Tiptronic manual shift is fun (but dangerous-- must be careful to avoid speeding ticket)! This vehicle is beautiful, roomy, and hugs the road. Because its low to the ground you have to be careful when parking, so the front end isnt damaged by concrete barriers.

  Lovely drive, a hit @ home - 2009 Audi A4
  By Rohit - April 12 - 11:00 am

  Looked at the Infiniti G37 and BMW 3 series before settling on the Audi A4. Owned an A6 over 10 years ago, and wasnt sure if we wed buy another Audi, but the A4 has bested all my expectations in the little time Ive had it. Didnt need AWD as we have a SUV at home, so I got the FWD with Sport package in Premium Plus trim. Car drives beautifully, hugs the road esp on turns, sounds great, and the LEDs turn heads for sure. The MMI is very easy to learn and the AMI and Bluetooth work like a breeze. The extended length also comes in handy. The next few years will tell me how much theyve improved the Reliability but so far so good.

  A4 2.0l TDI 8 speed auto - 2009 Audi A4
  By big kev - April 2 - 8:21 am

  Weve got the diesels and I bought one 3 weeks ago and traded my 2007 BMW 328i. It looks great, the interior is beautiful and the ride is nice and comfortable without being too sloppy. The BMW was my first and last - the ride was horrible. This is as powerful, the auto changes cannot be felt, even in sport mode unless you really look for it - Im old and like smooth! There is no perfection but this car is excellent in every way. The diesel engine does clatter but you cant really hear it from inside except when you accelerate and then its only a bit of noise - like noisy tappets on an old car. Great.

  Great Car for the money - 2009 Audi A4
  By huntm2000 - March 14 - 12:45 pm

  I am a 7-time BMW owner and was hesitant to compare the new Audi A4 to a 2009 BMW 3 series, but was surprisingly pleased with the build quality, performance, and amenities you get in the Premium Plus package and decided to go with a new 2009 A4 vs the BMW 328xi. I have only owned my new Audi A4 for a few days now, but am very pleased with the build quality, ride, and performance of this car. Anyone is the premium sport sedan market should take a serious look at the A4 before making a decision.

  This is my 2nd Audi.. - 2009 Audi A4
  By KarlS - March 12 - 5:09 pm

  ...A4, previously owned 2007 2.0T Q sport/Sline/Ti. Current car (2.0TQ prem+ w/sport pkg) is what I was hoping for when I 1st purchased an Audi, slightly better performance than before, much better handling, much improved seats (highly recommend sport pkg option). Feels like an adults vehicle. Complaints: only re plastic dash piece (hope for aftermarket cure soon) & wish it still had a full size spare - minor stuff really. Very anxious to see how this is chipped, 2007 was a big difference, 2009 promises to be better. Bottom line, I love driving this car... so does my wife.

  Best of the Bst - 2009 Audi A4
  By Medfather - March 10 - 8:00 pm

  After owning BMWs and Mercedes (2 lemons in a row), this is my 1st Audi. It is awesome! Very comfortable, wonderful variable steering, great electronics. I am impressed by the 4 cylinder turbo quick acceleration, especially when down shift to the "S" mode (passed 5 cars on 2 lane country road-WOW!). We take it on the Interstate every weekend while our BMW 330 sits in the garage. Gas mileage is 24 around town and 27-30 on highway, depending on how I drive. The 2009 A-4 surpasses my expectations.

  Love It - 2009 Audi A4
  By pj - March 8 - 4:36 pm

  I bought this car as a gift for my wife, a blue quattro convertible. For once I hit an out of the park home run. She loves this car and I do too. Its fun to drive, beautiful on the inside and outside, and gives us no trouble at all.

  Quirks you should know - 2009 Audi A4
  By Boston - February 27 - 10:59 pm

  Ive had the car for about 5000 miles so far, and probably would not buy it again. Theres much I truly love about the car but the commuting ride quality on worn roads is very harsh, especially here in New England roads where the car is useful in snow. Since delivery car has real vibration 70 - 80 MPH. Ive seen others talk about this, and dealer has not resolved. I plan to take it to an independent tire spot. Speedometer seemed high, and reads about 4-5% higher than actual speed when calibrated with GPS. 77 MPH shows as 80 or 81. Racking up extra miles if you leased! Car is good from stop lights, but 2.0T feels underpowered with highway onramps, etc. Requires "S" mode and a heavy foot.

  Love it! - 2009 Audi A4
  By JC - February 27 - 6:30 pm

  I like almost everything about my new Audi A4. The one negative thing is that the rims get dirty every time I drive it, even if its around the corner. Someone mentioned that it might be the brakes.
