Model Overview:

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.

  • Ultra-Sport Avant Ultra-Fun! - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    Just looking at the car makes me grin ear to ear. Great lines and inside it just continues, leather, feel-good dash, excellent sound system. Fast enough and brakes that actually do there job. Drove from Chicago to New Jersey with the wife and our two dogs. Fold-down rear seats with built-in dog screen, the tops! I have become an Audi enthusiast! The dealership was top notch along with the salesman. The service incredible.

  • Sad "Audi Experience! - 2002 Audi A4
    By -

    Unfortunately, our experience has not been a happy one. Audi is presently installing our third engine in our 2002 A4 after only 50,000 miles! Our car has spent nearly 3 months in the shop in the past 36 months. Weve bought a new Maxima and plan to sell our Audi as soon as possible.

  • All round great wagon. - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    Wanted a wagon that had style and performance. The update added a brand new engine (soon to be found on the new Jetta) and the car comes with a great set of luxury features. Added Premium and Cold Weather Packages, and 17 inch wheels.

  • 10 years of ownership - 2007 Audi A4
    By -

    *10 years of ownership* after owning this car for almost 10 years I had decided to write a detailed review on my experience with this 2007 Audi A4 Quattro with the 3.2 engine. 0-80,000 miles absolutely problem free. During that one frame all that was done to the vehicle was routine oil changes (5,000 intervals as I do not personally think going 10,000 is a good idea), tires around 45,000 miles, I always use premium gasoline. 80,000-115,000: around 85,000 miles during service it was discovered that my valve cover gaskets were leaking oil that was around $250 with parts and labor. 95,000 miles I had all brakes replaced (pads, rotors on all four wheels) I ordered parts from Advance Auto Parts for $210 and still currently have them on the vehicle at 170,000 smooth as the Audi brand no need to pay for brand name very little brake dust as well. 112,000 miles I noticed that I could smell a burning oil. So I took it in to see what was wrong, the valve cover gasket appeared to be leaking again. So I had hen replace it once again. 115,000-145,000: no problems at all until 138,000 I noticed little drops of oil on my garage floor. I decided to take it in and was informed that my valve cover gasket looked like it was leaking again and that my rear main seal had a leak. At that point we figured that the actual valve cover itself may be warped. I decided to deal with the small drops of oil as I did not see it necessary to pay almost $3,000 to repair everything. I now have 170,000 miles on the car and it has never left me stranded. The key to keeping this car serviced it to find an independent mechanic that will treat you fairly. I see no need to replace this car anytime soon in the future.

  • Great car! - 2003 Audi A4

I drives smothly and I have to admit that I have had a speeding ticket b/c I dont realize how fast i am going b/c it is SUCH a quiet and smooth car! 80mph feels like 30mph in the car!

  • First Audi, and Love It - 2003 Audi A4
    By -

    I bought this car used on a "whim" while driving my reliable Toyota one Saturday. Its fun to drive with the 17" wheel sport package, and has more than enough power and handling for most people. The turbo has a low, metallic growl when its cold, but it generally performs well. Service is okay, although I question the wisdom of scheduled oil changes every 10k miles, but I can report no other problems right now.

  • Audi Certified is the BEST! - 2000 Audi A4
    By -

    I read a lot of reviews and all I hear is complaints. Its a used car! Youre going to have to change brakes and sensors. You cant complain. Audi Certified is awesome! The best in the biz. My oxygen sensor went which is typical, but the computer ecu didnt catch the code, so ihad problems. They replaced everything even if not broken, all sensors, ecu, air pump, battery, oil change. They paid for it all! They didnt even charge a deductible because I had to bring it in twice! NO warranty would havepayed for sensors, oil change and battery. They wanted me to be satisfied and I am. Remember its a used car. 60k miles its going to need maint.

  • Who are some of these reviewers - 2001 Audi A4
    By -

    I have enjoyed my A4 very much. Cant add much to what other have said. My experience with the coil recall was totally unlike another person has reported. Before I had the coil recall work done, I received multiple letters from Audi USA reminding me to bring in my A4 to have ALL the coils replaced FREE of charge and if I had already paid to have them fixed, to send them copies of the invoices so they could reimburse me IN FULL.

  • AUDI A4 - 2003 Audi A4
    By -

    For $28,000, the Audi A4 comes loaded with a sport package. The turbo 1.8 is fine, but get the 6 if you want more "off the line" power.
