Overview & Reviews

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.

• Sharp handling
• Available all-wheel drive
• Generous maintenance program.
• Classy, well-constructed interiors

  Here we go again - 2006 Audi A4
  By endophil - July 6 - 11:33 am

  I had a 2003 TT. Great car to drive, but reliability was terrible. With only 6700 miles everything went wrong. Well I deceided to try Audi again. Only one week old and the memory seats dont work. Hello Audi. They make a great driving car and thats it. Reliability is horrible. The current clutch is also a disaster. It has no definite grip point

  Awesome Wagon! - 2006 Audi A4
  By Wahine - April 30 - 5:56 pm

  I love this car! We were ready to downsize from an SUV, but still wanted an expanded cargo area. This fits our needs perfectly. We looked at the Subarus, but they didnt compare to the Audi. The 6 speed manual transmission shifts smoothly and is fun to drive.

  Sweet machine!!! - 2006 Audi A4
  By S. Clark - March 10 - 11:16 pm

  This car is an absolute joy to drive. I wanted a manual trans, but fell in love with the CVT on a test drive. With SoCal traffic Im glad I chose the CVT. Paddle shifting is a great feature. The build quality is first rate and so far (5300 miles) not one problem. Lots of positive comments on the appearance. Handling is wonderful and the power is surprising, especially from a four cylinder. I would highly recommend this car if a compact sedan suits your needs.

  Great Car - Better than expected - 2006 Audi A4
  By BryanW - December 28 - 10:03 pm

  Just a few hundred miles on my car, but I love this thing. This is my first Audi. Also looked at the IS, TL, G35 & 325i. Have been more of a BMW guy in the past, expected Id like the 325 better, but after driving 325i, it was no comparison, not as refined. AWD is very nice in corners, perfect balance of comfort and sportiness w/o sport package, wonderful interior quality, and the outside looks are great (love that front end). High 20 MPG even with hard driving. My biggest gripe on the car is the rough idle which is on all 2.0T cars I test drove. Dealer says its the direct injection. It would be nice for the auto shifter to look a little better, less "Passat." A/S tires lack performance.

  The A4 won me over - 2006 Audi A4
  By dpark - December 24 - 4:10 am

  I walked into the Audi dealership on a whim; up to that point I was looking primarily at the new 3-series, the G35 and the IS 250. Without question the A4 has the most functional, egonomically-pleasing and well put together interior in the class. In fact, the A4 feels like it is in a higher class than theother cars mentioned above (particularly the G35 and IS 250), which shows that brute force only goes so far. I test drove both the 2.0T and the 3.2. I went with the 2.0, which performs like most 6s and so far is averaging about 30 MPG (I commute approximately 70 miles total each day). If reliability holds up Audi has earned my repeat business.

  Very fun for a "station wagon" - 2006 Audi A4
  By SoDead - November 7 - 11:36 am

  What a great car! I gave up a 98 528i for the Avant... The ride is a bit stiffer than the 528i. Not a major problem.

  Very please with my 2006 A4 2.0T - 2006 Audi A4
  By Pablo - July 27 - 11:30 pm

  Overall, Im really ecstatic about my car. Just over 7000 miles so far with not a single issue. The interior is fantastic, it drives and handles really well (recently took it on a trip up the PCH to Monterey -- what a fun drive!), I really have no complaints, except for the Sat Nav and MMI system which can be a bit clunky sometimes.

  2006 audi a4 check engine light always on - 2006 Audi A4
  By M_A_B - October 10 - 1:45 am

  I owned acura integra,Toyota Corolla and Mitsubishi Lancet evolution 8,driving Japanese cars is much easier, cheap to maintain and check engine light barely turn on. Before I buying any type of cars i do my research on Edmunds consumer review and how this people rate the 2006 audi a4 "great car" is a lie because first year of owing it in had nothing but headaches on repairs and terrible gas mileage on a stock car(normal driving). I do my regular oil change 3k miles,transmission fluid flush at 100k and do most of the repair myself and check engine light never ends, after fixing one thing a different check light codes pops up. I spend $2000 in oem parts within the last 3 years owning it,cam followers,pcv valves,brake booster hoses,spark plugs coil packs all replaced. Interior is also falling apart my glove compartment hinges replaced ,center console arm replaced, passenger back window motor replaced,window button peeling off replaced, rear back seat cup holder wont open i think the spring is damage inside to pop out. Overall this 2006 a4 is garbage and I wont be owing any audi a4 ever again.

  This Audi Has Won Me Over - 2006 Audi A4
  By Robert - October 2 - 4:50 pm

  The 3.2 L V6 has everything you want in a luxury sport sedan and more. No question the bigger engine is worth it. And opt for the 6-speed manual-- the driving experience is pure pleasure. This car hands down beats the lexus IS 300 (I owned one) and with its Quattro engineering BMW 330 drivers have nothing over it. The interior and comfort only add to the driving experience.

  Excellent sedan - 2006 Audi A4
  By Nunya Bidness - June 4 - 10:40 pm

  Car has plenty of speed and pickup for a small engine due to the turbo. Handles well and provides a very comfortable ride. Smooth shifting and excellent braking. Interior is clean but dont choose the brushed aluminum; it sometimes reflects sunlight right into the eyes of the driver. A little narrow inside and wouldnt do well for very large drivers. Trunk space is adequate. Plenty of extras to go around. The new navigation system is fantastic with an incredibly good interface. Location of Nav DVD is behind the LCD instead of trunk. Changer is in glovebox, very easy to access. There are two smart card slots (wish it played more than just mp3s, maybe audiobooks as well). Fantastic value.
