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 only other significant change this year is the "S-line" name for the sport package.

  • Amazing - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    Amazing car! I have owned Mercedes, BMW and now Audi! And I want to say German cars are the best! And also I want to say to everybody: the Germans car need more care than others! If you not care about your car, you will get a lot of problems! So stop writing bad reviews! Check oil level on every fueling, dont drive you car after starting the engine first time in the morning, wait couple minuets, dont kill engine, and you never get a problems!

    By -

    I really love this car. If you read these peoples reviews with their broken down audis, you must understand if you dont take care of your car it will break especially used ones. I get 23 mpg very very low maintenance on the car I couldnt be happier.

  • Do Not Trust - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    Sometimes locks doors when I exit car, even w/ motor running, which should be impossible. Once refused to shift down while passing a car and refused to accelerate in any selected gear except "Drive." Revs would peak at 4k, even with accelerator planted firmly to firewall. Tried every possible position of gear selector and punched the accelerator to downshift during 50 miles of freeway driving, to no avail. After shutdown, no problem. Do not trust this car. Dealers tech indicates he never heard of such a problem. Dealer is 200 miles distant, and tech doubts problem can be diagnosed, since no warning lights were lit.

  • Never again - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    This car has been nothing but trouble. The check engine light goes on time after time. After 44K miles the car needed a $2200. repair (fuel pump/camshaft) w/ metal shavings in the engine to boot. Last Audi I ever buy.

  • Do not buy AUDI A4 - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    I may never own another Audi, 10,000 miles over warranty and $11,000 dollars worth of engine problems. I drove this car 25 miles per day only back and forth from work, no hard driving, all interstate. Check engine light came on one day and took to dealer and told $11,000 to fix, need new camshaft, turbo out, and a list of things. I will never own another Audi and this is my second with problems like this, and no help from Audi USA.

  • Bad audi - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    Bad Audi the first week. The engine noise sound like a diesel engine. Battery dead after 2 yrs. Misc. Controls and knobs stop working. When top down the driver window rattles. I think I bought a lemon. Brought to the dealer. They said the engine noise was normal. They didnt do nothing with the window.

  • 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.

  • Sudden acceleration!!! - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    I was stopped by a light ready to make a left turn, foot on the brake-car in drive as always. Suddenly the engine started to re to what seemed like the redline. Brakes barely held so I immediately put the car into neutral and stepped on the accelerator to quiet the engine. It worked but I just missed hitting the car in front by about 2 feet. Had it flatbedded to Audi who (even after a technician came) couldnt find anything wrong. If it happened once it will happen again. No carpet issue. I love this car and wish they would have found something. Reported to nhtsa who will investigate. Happen to anyone else? This is a major accident waiting to happen. Be very careful my friends.
