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
• Precise steering

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

  62,000 Miles and the engine is done. - 2006 Audi A4
  By LaneC - September 20 - 11:18 am

  What a fun car to drive. It hugs the road, it whips up to speed in seconds, it sips gas and it looks like a millionaires car. Unfortunately at 62,000 miles I just found out the engine needs to be replaced. Fortunately I purchased the car nine (9) months ago as a certified pre-owned so the work will be covered under their warranty.

  Almost a great car, but regret purchase - 2006 Audi A4
  By asilvera4 - July 21 - 3:36 pm

  This is my 4th Audi and 3rd with one of their great turbo-4s. Its also the first one I regret buying and wish I had considered a G35 or a 325 a bit more. The engine is peppy and efficient, handling is fun at normal speeds, quattro speaks for itself, and the interior materials are typical class-leading Audi. I also enjoy the tech packages fancy lights and bluetooth. My real complaint is the ride/handling. The sport suspension ride is unforgiving over most roads, yet its easy to upset the car when you push it hard at speed. Id skip that option. Honda nor BMW would put their name on that wobbly shifter. The armrest cant be down with e-brake up? Thats a GM foible, not for an Audi.

  First Time Owner - 2006 Audi A4
  By A4Driver - March 4 - 12:20 pm

  My husband and I had researched used A4s for the last year, and finally found one with the right features. Because we bought it with under 30k miles and the previous owner had taken exceptional care of it, it feels like a brand new car. The handling is WONDERFUL the car has the optional sport suspension, and it makes a difference. There is plenty of power, and the the car purrs getting onto the freeway. Its also very comfortable inside, and everything about it feels posh. Im looking forward to driving this car for the next few years!

  2006 Audi A4 - 2006 Audi A4
  By Flyhigh - December 25 - 11:26 am

  The 6 spd transmission and the 2.0L engine are totally made for each other, I am getting 37 mpg (7.6L/100km) with commute type driving, which is far better that I expected. I traded an 06 Jetta TDI for this, which would give me 6.2L/100km (45 mpg). But now that diesel is $1.06/L and regular is $.94/l, (yes you can run 87 octane) my cost per KM for fuel is only 2 cents more and I get killer traction with Quattro and Hakapelita that defies description. The car needs more little storage places like the Jetta and an arm rest that can be used along with two cups of Timmys in the holder. This is a drivers car, and worth every penny.

  Overrated - 2006 Audi A4
  By Audiboy305 - December 10 - 3:24 am

  Ive had my Audi for months. Already had to get 1 headlight replaced. It shifts horribly, squeaky interior, at high speeds I get rattles from the dash very annoying. Im glad its a lease, no more Audi for me. Only good thing is the looks and design. Build quality is awful. I have every option to include titanium pkg. Seats are a bit uncomfortable, back seat space is minimal. No power for 2.0T. Oh and they dont use real leather seats.

  Mixed Review - 2006 Audi A4
  By jim delaney - October 18 - 8:53 pm

  This is the second Audi purchased by my family. The first, an Audi A6 had major brake problems at 20k. We recently purchased a 2006 A4 with a S- Line package. It does have a nice look and ride but we have had major problems with it since the purchase. It has been in and out of the shop for several months with constant rattles, speakers not working, and a major problem with the front end. The car will randomly lock up when turning corners and there is a constant rattle from the the wheel being turned. This is a major dissapointment, because the vehicle is fun to drive and does perform well in poor driving conditions.

  Good Car, but.... - 2006 Audi A4
  By Jeff Matthews - August 25 - 6:11 pm

  Overall, a very nice car. Powerful, solid frame, handles well. We have the technology package with bluetooth and memory seats, etc. We have enjoyed the car except for one feature: the adaptive headlights. These are Xenon headlights that move as the front wheels move. A neat idea, but weve had continuing problems with one headlight cutting off when it gets sufficiently dark for the "auto on" feature to work. Unfortunately, and despite a good effort, they have been unable to correct the problem and we are getting our money back through the states Lemon Law. I would recommend the Audi A4, but not this adaptive light feature.

  My 3.2 Avant - 2006 Audi A4
  By Sergio - June 18 - 10:20 pm

  The Avant A4 3.2 "S" Line looks like a normal wagon but it handles like a sports car, specially on a rainy day, it becomes another car with the traction control and Quattro (AWD) makes you feel secure.

  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
