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
  • Generous maintenance program.
  • Classy, well-constructed interiors
  • Precise steering
Cons:
  • Engines short on low-end torque, tight backseat.

  • Concerns about vibrations - 2006 Audi A4

    Vibration concerns. The car noticably vibrates when placed in gear but not when in Park or Neutral. Tiptronic is fabulous, who needs a manual transmission!

  • Whats NOT to LOVE?? - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    This is my first Audi and I love it. I dont see myself ever buying a different make or model. The pick up for a four cylinder is UNMATCHED by any other vehicle. Ive been getting over 30 miles a gallon. The heated seats are amazing and the braking system is even better than the volvos. The A4 handles like a much smaller vehicle, the trunk room is huge.

  • Getting it right? - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    I absolutely love this car. The problem is that Ive been towed in twice and I dont even have 10k miles on the car yet. My fuel pump went bad then I broke down again when a sensor on the pump was bad. Then I broke down on a business trip when I ran out of fuel on the interstate because their was a problem with the sending unit arm on the NEW fuel pump. When that replacement part arrived at the dealer it too was broken. I have no problems with Audi and their customer service. I just hope Audi can make this problem right and get my car running as anyone would expect a brand new audi to run.

    I test drove the 3.o but couldnt justify the extra 10k for the additonal power. The 1.8 is slow off the line but at about 30 you can feel the turbocharger spin up and it feels like a 6 cyl. The fit and finish are excellent and the Audi offers features that the Volvo, BMW and Saab didnt. Im 62 and it fits like a glove, although it has less leg room in the back than the Volvo. My wife and I (by rights its her car) fight over it everyday... starting to feel like that commercial!

  • Excellent AWD car - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    Ive owned this car for just a few weeks and the handling is superb. The interior material are of top notch quality and the seats are very comfortable, though its a little tight for adult back seat passengers for a long ride. For a four cylinder this car has plenty of pep, most six cylinders couldnt come close. The standard stereo has very decent sound, but I wish I opted for the premium Bose with satellite radio. That was my error. Adding the proper satellite tuner now to the satellite ready stereo is about $400.00.

  • If the interior were better...... - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    Overall this is a very nice vehicle. It handles extremely well. The ride is much better than expected. Very little noise from the road. Good pricing compared to BMW and Mercedes. I have always heard how great the interiors are on Audis but I am not very impressed. The plastic surrounding the center console looks cheap. The turbocharged four is excellent but noisy. It is quicker than the 200 hp in my Acura TSX but far more noisy.

  • Great A4 - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    I enjoy cycling and skiing, and spend a lot of time on weekends driving to pursue my interests. Things that are very important to me are: good all weather capability, fun to drive, room for all my gear, and fuel economy. After exhausting myself with test drives and research, I narrowed the field down to BMW X5 3.0 and the A4. I went with the A4, and admit that it was a very tough decision. After a few months of ownership, the A4 has exceeded my expectations in all areas. Truly a great car, my first Audi, but not my last!

  • Love this car!! - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    Ive had so many people come up to me saying how much they love the looks of my car. Ive been so happy with it. I love that it tells me when I need to bring it in for service, since Im a complete "auto-illiterate."

  • Great Car - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    This car is very fun to drive. It handles well. Great interior/exterior fit and finish. Seats are firm and comfortable. Controls and instruments are easy to read and user friendly. Performance is a bit unresponsive when first starting up from a stop while in Drive.
