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.

Winner - A4 Carbiolet - 2005 Audi A4
By JPouchet - May 26 - 6:59 pmAfter examining all of the top marquees the Audi A4 was the big winner for topless driving. IMHO it represents the best performance, style, quality, and value for topless luxury/performance driving in the four- seat category. And our dealer treated us like royalty when others thought the A4 1.8T price level was not worth their effort. If you are considering topless driving give the A4 a serious look. Test with & w/o sport suspension. Not for everyone but great for me. Love the handling, lighting, interior, and wonderful aesthetics. Top is awesome and down 90% of the time.

Great Car - 2005 Audi A4
By taxman - May 23 - 10:50 pmI now have three months of experience with this car and find no faults. Interior is great. Exterior is great. Mechanicals and dynamics are outstanding. Bose and XM sattelite sound system is excellent. Zero defects at delivery. High gas mileage on my one long trip - nearly 30mpg at 75-80mph. Welcome step up from a 2001.5 GLX, 5MT VW Passat that I thought was going to be hard to beat.

New 2.0T Engine is Fantastic! - 2005 Audi A4
By Jeff - May 23 - 5:22 pmIve had this car for two weeks and love it more and more every day. The 2.0T FSI is just an amazing engine - far more powerful and smooth than the previous 1.8T. Even with the Avant/Quattro/Auto set-up, this car hauls butt! Good gas miliage too. This engine is a true revelation. Audi upgraded the A4 suspension (S4 parts) and has finally matched bimmer in ride and handling. The rest of the car is beautifully built and feels solid as a rock. Audi interiors are, in MHO, the best in the industry. This car is tops in the entry lux/sport sedan catagory, and with Avant funtionality, it combines the best of sporty/SUV/compact attributes all into one catagory.

Great All Around Sedan - 2005 Audi A4
By a4qt25 - May 22 - 10:32 pmWent with the Ultrasport model in Brilliant Red. The paint along with the quality of materials is flawless. 18" wheels, bodykit, and performance suspension are great. Car not as fast as an S4 but it handles great and gets excellent gas mileage. Interior is perfect.

Most fun car a corner has ever seen!! - 2003 Audi A4
By quattropit - May 21 - 11:06 pmMy AUDI has changed the way I view other vehicles. Ive had many vehicles, Ive also worked in a number of collision centers, so Ive been in and test driven many different vehicles. The A4 is easy to drive, the cock-pit controls are easy to understand and operate, and the steering feels as if its extensions of your hands holding to the road. Power is precise with a large torque power-band, less down-shifting and more go pedal. The car feels firmly planted in all aspects of driving, cruising down the highway to ripping around a high-way on-ramp. Ive personally put other high-end car drivers to shame with my A4 1.8T quattro, most of which had I6s or V6s. Im always leading, never following!

over the long haul - 2005 Audi A4
By a4cabowner - May 20 - 3:45 pmThe car is as fun to drive today as it was in Nov 02 when I purchased the car. I took a chance with a new model but it has worked out well. The cabin is a drivers cabin, and with all the safety features I feel safe even with the top down cruising on challenging roads. As other reviewers have noted the ride is choppy going over speed bumps at slow speeds but other than that the car does not disappoint and provides me with an excellent experience.

Wonderful Car - 2005 Audi A4
By gary - May 20 - 9:41 amDelivered in flawless condition. Routine maintainance only through 1st 10000 miles. Quiet interior. Manual transmission with 1.8 provides plenty of power. Have bashed rear bumper hard a couple of times with virtually no damage.

Dont buy this vehicle!!!!! - 2000 Audi A4
By The Whites - May 19 - 10:26 pmWe bought our Audi 1.8T in 2000 and we were very excited about the car. As of today 5/19/2005 we have about 30,000 miles on the odometer. From the first year we owned the car we had issues with the Turbo and Quattro drive gaskets leaking air/fluid. Since the car was under warranty for 3 years, we had the gaskets replaced at the dealer for no charge. Now off warranty, the dealer told us we needed new gaskets again and it costs $800 to replace. Our driveway shows signs of oil drops. Ive known other Audi owners having similar gasket problems with their newer AUDIs. BUYER BEWARE!

Great Little Car - 2005 Audi A4
By Inne - May 17 - 12:09 amHave had my newest love for two months and 4,000 miles. Single touch up/down top with glass back window and a covered boot is superior. Stock sound system is as good as BMWs Harmon Kardon. This is a sloooow car. Replaced my 2002 Honda S2000 which was fast but a bit hard on the body. Compares more than favorably to my 1999 323 BMW convertible with one exception.
