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

  • Classy, well-constructed interiors
  • Precise steering

  • Engines short on low-end torque, tight backseat.

  • Great car for my daughter - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    I bought this car for my daughter to drive in college at University Of Colorado. We live in Southern California and so my daughter is not an experienced driver on snow and ice. Since I grew up in the Midwest, I know the importance of traction. Since I pay for the gas, I also know the importance of mileage. With 8 air bags, all wheel drive, Audi reliability, and a 100,000 bumper to bumper warranty, all coupled with 22 mpg City and 30 mpg country this car was our top pick. I lost a nephew in an accident so safety is also important to me. I own 8 vehicles of 2000 or newer including an S500 Mercedes. The A4 Audi is the "best bang for the buck" of all of them. I love the car!

  • Awesome Audi - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    I have had my 06 A4 3.2 Quattro for a month and have a little over 1300 miles. The car is absolutely a blast to drive. Quiet, powerful, and smooth. Handling is predictable and confidence inspiring. The overall workmanship is top notch. The exterior styling is both classy and sporty. The interior is typically Audi - the best in the industry. The car exudes quality and solidity. It is worth every penny.

  • An excellent compact sport sedan. - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    Have been driving the car for over a month already. Handles extremely well (great steering feel) and the 4- cylinder turbo engine provides more than enough performance while keeping fuel costs at a minimum. Dont know yet how reliable the car is since its new so cant comment on that.

  • A4 CVT - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    Build quality is very good. I bought mine first and wife then bought a red one. The most fun part is the CVT, but after you own it, the CVT is also the hard part to enjoy. It is not a regular transmission, feels odd on initial start up. Gets excellent economy and is very fast with the Turbo.

  • Best Company Car Yet - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    Just got the 06 A4 2.0 T and I am very impressed. The engine is smooth and responsive and with the 6 speed auto it is the perfect blend of fun and comfort. I am in North Dakota and we just got our first snow and it handles the snow very well with the all season tires, but the throttle takes some getting used to as it really picks up speed after about 2K RPM and it can cause the wheels to spin, but it effortlessly overtakes other vehicles on the snowy roads without any discomfort. The fit and finish is excellent and the stereo is great. Only complaint so far is the speaker grill in the driver door. The door closed on my leg and it broke the grill. Seems pretty weak.

  • My 4th Audi - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    This is my 4th A4. It is by far the best of the lot. Even though the engine only went from 1.8 to 2.0 liters, the performance seemed to increase by a much larger percentage. The acceleration is excellent. The change to the 6 speed transmission is a great feature. The upshifts are seamless and there are no discernible shifting lags. The GPS is easy to use and not difficult to learn. My last Audi A4 was good, this one IS GREAT.

  • A Dramatic Improvement - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    This is my fourth Audi. I had a A4 Avant with the 2.8 V6, a A6 with the 2.8 and the A6 2.7T. The 2006 A4 2.0T is the best so far. I ordered it in Red with Tan interior with the Sport Package, Technology Package (Bluetooth Phone connection), Navigation, Bose Stereo (with XM Sat) and Xenon lights. The new 2.0T makes the V6 an uneccessary option. It has tremendous torque with little if any spool up and the 6 speed Tiptronic is flawless and fun to drive either fully auto or in manual mode. Great engine sound and terrific gas milage. I have been getting 22-24 around town and 30 MPG on the open road. The brakes are excellent with solid stopping power.

  • Classy Fun - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    A precise machine. Perfectly balanced 6-speeed. Zero turbo lag thanks to the direct injection. Very comfortable seats, even if over 6 feet. Great stereo. Standard suspenion handles great, absorbs bumps. Easy to use navigation.

  • Like it more each day. - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    Quattro with premium and cold weather packages. Silver with black interior. First time Audi driver. Love the agile performance of the 2.0T. Its almost too easy to get to 80 mph... the ride is so smooth. Rock solid cornering and responsive handling. Im 64" and have been most surprised by how comfortable I feel.

  • Best A4 yet - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    This is my fourth Audi A4, and the best yet. 3.2 V6 very smooth and powerful yet still delivers about 28 mpg on the freeway. The car is so solid and well built I am extremelly pleased. I have not found a single flaw in workmanship, just totally amazed at build quality, details and fit. Best interior you will find at just about any price. Quattro, ESP (electronic stability program), EBD (electronic brake distribution) all make one feel very safe and comfortable in this vechicle. Expensive but I feel it is worth every penny. I highly recommend one. I especially like the smaller vechicle size. Audi is really doing their homework to make a great car even better.
