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.

  • Do not buy a used Audi. It will not last - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    Garbage. 49,000 miles new engine needed, probably because of the turbo. Later fuel pressure problems, check engine lights on. If you need a used car, do not buy it. Buy Japanese.

  • Great car - 2007 Audi A4
    By -

    Great quality. You can feel it the moment you get in and start the car. After test driving Acura and Benz and Volvo and Lexus they all feel cheap and flimsy in comparison to the Audi. Just a great well thought out and very very well built car.

  • Never again Audi, Never again Paul Miler - 2007 Audi A4
    By -

    I have owned many cars in my life. the experience of driving this car was great for about the first two weeks. Then the car slowly but steadily started to break down. Taking it to my servicer was useless because it always seemed to be my fault or wear and tear. The tires failed, the oil leaked, the coils have been replaced countless times because the head gasket is apparently bad. To top it all off the clutch went because audi sub out to an Asian company so they could get it cheaper. It was all plastic. The car was made very cheap and for some reason the transmission and engine were two different times between 2006, 2007, 2008. coincidence i think not.

  • Premium Plus w/MMI - 2010 Audi A4
    By -

    I purchased a 2010 A4, Premium Plus with FrontTrak after testing driving many cars including BMW 328i, Mercedes C300, Lexus I250, Infiniti G37 and Lincoln MKz. All cars I test drove were very good but the Audi A4 was the best in my opinion. Audi A4 was the perfect blend of a beautiful exterior, high quality sports sedan with peppy engine performance with exceptional handing and a large, well appointed interior cabin with leg room. The last part was very important to me. I am 6’2” tall so I did not want to feel cramped inside the car. The A4 has more room than a BMW 328/MB 300/Lexus I250. The A4 is also a very good looking car. I receive many complements on its exterior and interior looks.

  • 3.0 Quatro A4 Cabriolet - 2005 Audi A4
    By -

    I do enjoy this car since I first got it. The interior designed was great and so its interior: wooden dash, leather seats quality worth every pennies. There were few problems after 10k miles of driving like the cable to the trunk cover for convertible top, rear light bulb. The other major issues was the ignition coils that went bad, check engine light on. The dealership had it replaced no costs. The car has 30k miles and still running like new without any other issues. Overall, this car is the best so far since my past cars: Benz, Acura, Lexus. Plus, its convertible top and silver color made it stand out. I couldnt came up with any reason to get rid of it other than high payments.

  • Amazing car - 2010 Audi A4
    By -

    I looked at the usual competitors Lexus IS, Infiniti G35, BMW 3 series, and even a Nissan Maxima. I didnt like the MMI system when I test drove it, but after one day it was easy and now I love it. The car has a perfect balance of performance and luxury. Theres enough space for my bigger friends, but has the design to make people look when I drive by. Its good for someone with a family or a bachelor.

  • Too many expensive repairs - 2002 Audi A4
    By -

    The 2002 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro was fun to drive and great in the snow but the repairs killed the bank! They were so expensive and something was always going wrong with the car. I wouldnt suggest buying one or any Audi for that matter unless you are willing to put thousands into the car! Buyer beware!

  • 1st Audi - 2010 Audi A4
    By -

    I agonized over this decision like I never have before. It came down to the 328i and the A4. Both were within $3 per month after hard negotiating. You cannot beat the BMW for in the way it drives. It was amazing, BUT, there are so many other factors and it seemed like the A4 won every other one. Quattro vs XDrive, the interior was far superior in the Audi (cup holders in the BMW were insulting), the way the Bluetooth and Ipod integrate so seamlessly, the ride comfort, and the list truly goes on and on. Trunk space must be at least 2X in the Audi.

  • What can be better? - 2010 Audi A4
    By -

    A4 2010 2.0 premium plus/sport package/Nav. This car got it all: Luxury, Style, Power, Technology and Fuel Efficiency. Love the turbo engine. Sport tuned make a big difference. Almost got a BMW 335i. NO regrets. Saved $12K and have everything I wished for. Fuel efficiency with such a performance is a big plus! Dealership much more flexible than BMW.

  • Dream car - 2007 Audi A4
    By -

    Traded in an old Sebring convertible for the Audi Quattro. Wanted an all- weather convertible. Couldnt be more pleased. The car is absolutely beautiful on the outside, and has Audis workmanship and reliability. Weve had it five months. Absolutely no issues. Inside, its fine for me tight for my six-foot-one husband. We were able to drive anywhere in one of the worst winters we had, and the top- down experience is fabulous. It takes close to 30 seconds to get the top up or down, but you get used to that. Its the only awd convertible on the market - I hope Audi remains committed.
