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.

  Aluminum trim is my favorite. The car launches and handles like its on rails. Get the Bose!

  Would do it again..despite roof problems - 2004 Audi A4
  By kc - February 22 - 8:32 pm

  I wanted a fast fun car for a reasonable price and got it. Had serious issues with the convertible top not working and it took SIX WEEKS during the Indian Summer for the dealer to fix it (more of an issue of the dealers inability to fix a problem properly). Other than that issue, everything else has been great with the car. I have the sports package which Id forget if I did it all over again (too many potholes and bumpy roads in the metropolitan area). At the end of the day, I do have to say that I still love this car.

  The most fun Luxury Entry Sports Sedan - 2005 Audi A4
  By rferni - February 20 - 12:51 am

  Having driven all of the competitors, the Audi A4 2.0T Quattro was by far my easiest choice to date. Awesome driving dynamics and comfort combined make it the most fun to drive. Shes been through 100 Mph, 100 mile non-stop drives at 107F and a 70 Mph drive through a raging mid-west blizzard -- couldnt tell the difference. Combine this with top-notch reliability -- never had a single issue with her in a year now.

  Great auto - 2003 Audi A4
  By awags38 - February 13 - 10:00 am

  Puttting the top down on this car is a breeze. The handling even though only a front wheel drive is like driving a real sports car. Transmission is so smooth it really is a fantastic automobile.

  I leased the Audi A4 2.0T CVT with premium package and I was amazed by the powerful engine, fuel economy and interior quality. It is fun to drive and a very good looking car.

  Good Car - 2003 Audi A4
  By thomasg - February 7 - 10:00 am

  It is very reliable and low maintenance. The interior and exterior design is fabulous. Im a little disapointed by the performance (when in automatic mode). Theres a slight hesitation when trying to accelerate (esp. from a standstill). The tiptronic aleviates all of these performance problems at the cost of remembering to shift gear.
