Overview & Reviews
The Audi A4 holds the distinction of having single-handedly revived the Audi brand. Launched in the mid-'90s, the compact A4 quickly became a favorite among luxury car buyers thanks to its beautifully finished cabin, sharp handling and available Quattro all-wheel drive. Although the A4 has offered these core characteristics from day one, it has become increasingly polished and high-tech with each successive generation. No matter which year you're looking at, the A4 promises both engaging performance and suave style inside and out.
The sedan body style has been a constant for the Audi A4, but depending on the vintage, you may also find wagon and convertible variants. Turbocharged four-cylinder power is typically found under the hood, yielding both reasonably spirited acceleration and satisfactory fuel economy. In road tests, we've consistently praised the A4's refined character, with more recent plaudits going to its spacious backseat, which has adequate room for full-size adults.

Wonderful, but be good with a wrench - 1998 Audi A4
By Woll - February 4 - 8:20 amI bought mine used three years ago. I have had many cars but this one was great, terrific pick up, quattro snow traction, excellent ride over all surfaces. I say "was" because it was destroyed in rear-end accident last week. This is not a car you want brought to the dealer w/no warranty! Ever. You must plan on repairing items yourself or finding a local guy. If you can do that, the car is affordable, if not, dont buy it or buy a newer one. Mine has been somewhat reliable, but the engine is particularly trouble prone. I have personally done the following: replaced all camshaft seals (tricky), timing belt, front main seals, wheel bearings, oil pan.

Audi Quattro 1.8 - 2003 Audi A4
By Audi - February 2 - 4:49 pmI purchased my Audi brand new and had to replace the fuel pump twice. Once at 28,000 miles (under warranty) and just recently at 57,000 miles (out of warranty, a $500 repair). Other than that the car has been very reliable and fun to drive. With the Quattro all wheel drive it is very easy to get around in the snow.

Great Car - 1997 Audi A4
By Josh - January 21 - 10:54 pmGreat car, suspension is fantastic, although the exterior is ok. It can be easily spiced up a bit by adding an RS4 body kit. They will then look fantastic. Outstanding car for the miles that are on mine, 101000.

Fun to drive, always gets me home! - 1998 Audi A4
By TT3 - January 21 - 5:20 pmI bought this A4 new in 98 and the weak points Ive found are wheel bearings and the lower door trim moldings. The engine is as sweet as the day I bought it! Driving with Q is the only way Ill drive from now on, it never fails me. I treat my cars well and find they in turn treat me well. I have replaced two wheel bearings in the 165,000 miles Ive driven, did them myself. One wheel has been replaced but that was my fault and I just replaced my 3rd door trim molding, seems Audi got cheap making these. All in all Id give this car a solid "9". It drives in ANY weather and has better traction no matter what the conditions. Im just about to order a 2007 A4 if that tells you anything.

Damn Good Car - 2003 Audi A4
By Aram Aram - January 20 - 10:00 amIve had my dolphin grey for about 8 months and have 23000 miles on it already. Every mile is a pleasure to drive. I have premium and sport package, the car is great. I wish it had a few more horsepower though.

I had to find SOMETHING wrong... - 2006 Audi A4
By at165db - January 14 - 9:24 pm...but the only thing that comes to mind is the shark fin antenna. I love the layout of the interior, the steering wheel controls, the clutch is great, I got the sports suspension and its fine for everyday use, but when I go to the mountains, it really shines! Ive never had a car with dimming side view mirrors, and Ive got to say, that feature works so well. As for how the car drives, Ive been driving my car for 8 months now, and recently drove a friends civic. Its crazy how spoiled you be come when you drive an audi. The car behaves SO much better at 80 mph on the freeways than something like a honda. In short, I love everything about this car.

what a car! - 2003 Audi A4
By rbconnell - January 14 - 2:00 ammy audi A4 1.8T Cabriolet is one of the most fun cars ive ever owned. long trips are no problem, as the car just takes care of the road, and the interior appointments make sitting for a few hours pass in no time. terrific seats! economically, it is a great value, and the milage is pretty good, too. the audi is quick and civilized, and turns heads like nobodys business. buy one and have a blast!

The ultimate in design and engineering. - 2002 Audi A4
By Parquenord - January 12 - 10:00 amI originally went to an Audi dealer to drive a TT and decided that it was not enough of a step up in size and comfort from my 99 Miata to justify a switch. I drove the A4 and was hooked. Two days later I picked up my Amulet Red 1.8T, 5 Speed with Sport Package, Sunroof, Xenon Lights & Bose Stereo. I am totally infatuated with my car! It is as sporty and as much fun to drive as the TT. The 5 speed shifts with ease, and with the exception of a slight turbo lag, I couldnt ask for more power. The fit and finish on this car is nearly flawless. Handling and performance could not be better. I have never been this enthusiastic about a car. It is precision "German Engineering" at its best!

Civilized Drivers Car - 1998 Audi A4
By audi driver - January 10 - 7:09 pmPerfect balance between comfort and sport. Whether you are just running errands or just out for a relaxing enthusiastic drive, its a pleasure to drive. Everything is right where you want it in the interior. Great sounding stereo and Quattro handles awesome on wet/snowy roads. Plus, when you get into your 1998 Audi next to someone getting into a 2001 Honda(and you paid less than them), you cant but think "sucker"
