This Year's Model Updates:

The Audi A4 has a few new powertrain options this year for the V6. Specifically, the V6 can now be equipped with a six-speed manual on all-wheel-drive sedans and wagons. The V6 can also be ordered this year for a front-drive A4 sedan with the continuously variable transmission (CVT). The only other significant change this year is the "S-line" name for the sport package.

Pros:
  • Sharp handling
  • Available all-wheel drive
  • Generous maintenance program.
  • Classy, well-constructed interiors
  • Precise steering
Cons:
  • Engines short on low-end torque, tight backseat.

  • 2006 A4 2.0T - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    Pleasurable drive, superior standard engine, a great deal compared to a BMW 325i, and in addition it gets better fuel economy (25 city/ 32 highway) than a 3-series. What more could you ask for?

  • BMW Guy Loves A4 - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    Last 2 cars were BMWs. The 528i was so elegant, but I saw my service advisor more than I saw my wife. The 330ci was awesome, but pricey. Looked at the new 325 which drives great but the interior & exterior design left me cold. Checked out the 2005 Audi A4 1.8T which was noisy and underpowered and was so pleasantly surprised when the new 2.0T came out. The 2.0T together with the 6 speed tiptronic is awesome. It is MUCH less expensive to lease than the 325, as much fun to drive, and you get more features like quattro and Bose. The black on black looks sharp and is very comfortable. The tiptronic is smooth and powerful. The car is fast and handles beautifully.

  • All around value - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    I had a 98 Passat with the 1.8T. After putting 165K miles on that car I knew the 2.0T would be a winner. I wasnt wrong. For all around handling, interior comfort, looks, luggage space and performance, you would be hard pressed to find a better value. The car is glued to the road and handles slippery weather. I chose this car based on these factors: MPG, all wheel drive, golf club fit sideways in trunk, safety, handling, fun, looks. No other AWD car has the balance of these and the price of the A4.

  • My A4 - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    I had been looking at the A4 for 2 years before I made my first purchase. It has been an overall positive experience and I highly recommend the vehicle to any consumer.

  • Great for Wisconsin weather - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    This car is great for driving in snow and very snappy weaving through busy traffic. I cant wait to try the S4.

  • Better than BMW - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    I have a 2006 BMW 530i with manual and sports suspension. Lots of zip. My wife has an A4 with 2.0 turbo and automatic. Truth be told, I take her car on the weekend whenever I can. Handling is about as good as the BMW and I find the BMW more fun to drive. I prefer the interior and exterior styling more and the AWD is better in bad weather. Interior is a tad smaller but for the two of us the car is purrfect. My next car will be an Audi - probably with a 6 cylinder. Overall, the Audi is more.

  • Powerful Compact Sedan - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    First Audi, have to say its been great thus far. Test drove both 3.2 and 2.0T, felt 2.0T had more of a kick at start off. Great fuel economy, and excellent overall build. MMI lacks ability to play MP3s, and does not have external audio plug for iPod/accessories. Rear seat lacks room, but this is a compact sedan. 6MT is decent, clutch has too much distance, lacks the short sport like feeling.

  • Best car ever owned - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    I previously owned an audi but this one takes the cake. I downgraded to a 2003 GTI 20th AE and owned that for 6 months, then realized I really didnt want FWD. I went from AWD to FWD and now back to AWD and I will never go back to anything less. The fact that my car is a lot faster than before and rides better than the VW and not to mention looks 100x better. The A4 is a great car for anyone looking for a luxury and sporty vehicle. I am still smiling everytime I drive my car, and you will too.

  • Audi has Finally Impressed Me - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    After test driving much of the competition, I test drove the Audi A4 Quattro and never looked back. The handling, interior luxury, and overall experience is unmatched by any of the others. While it may not have the name brand appeal of BMW/Mercedes, It is twice the car none-the-less. Audi = Attention to Detail!!! Audi just needs to Market more. Never even seen a commercial.

  • Mixed Review - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    This is the second Audi purchased by my family. The first, an Audi A6 had major brake problems at 20k. We recently purchased a 2006 A4 with a S- Line package. It does have a nice look and ride but we have had major problems with it since the purchase. It has been in and out of the shop for several months with constant rattles, speakers not working, and a major problem with the front end. The car will randomly lock up when turning corners and there is a constant rattle from the the wheel being turned. This is a major dissapointment, because the vehicle is fun to drive and does perform well in poor driving conditions.
