This Year's Model Updates:

The Cabriolet is now available with all-wheel drive, while all A4s now come standard with a tire-pressure monitoring system, revised steering wheels and two-stage airbags. The 1.8T models have been upgraded with 16-inch aluminum wheels and now offer a six-speed manual transmission as an option.

Pros:
  • Classy, well-constructed interiors, sharp handling, precise steering, available CVT transmission and all-wheel drive.
Cons:
  • Price goes up quickly with options, engines short on low-end torque, sport package makes for a choppy ride.

  • Right Brain Meets Left Brain - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    This car has probably the best combination of attributes among sports sedans that will appeal to both right-brained and left-brained people. For left brainers, theres the super- smooth, cutting-edge CVT transmission that doesnt sap engine power to achieve creamy smoothness (I previously drove sticks); absence of torque steer; superb handling and value versus BMW (I paid the same for this as I did for a 2001 BMW 325i with fewer options and smaller engine). For right- brainers,theres the clean exterior lines with an aesthetically superior interior design and quality of materials that cant be matched in any price class.

  • Amazing - 2004 Audi A4

    I couldnt ask for anything more. The look and feel of this car is amazing and Ive had nothing but compliments from all of my friends. I highly recommend this car to all entry level luxury car shoppers.

  • A4 1.8T Wagon Practically Rocks - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    This practical yet fun to drive wagon is the best of both worlds. The 1.8T engine with Auto/Manual mode has a lot of giddyup and when youre cruising on the highway, Ive gotten as much as 33 mph! Put the 2nd row seats down and the cargo space is awesome. I get some looks when I load the stuff in there. This Audi is so much more reliable than the Lexus IS300 Sportcross I had. Only 1 10,000 mile checkup vs. 6 times into the shop for the Lexus. (So much for the passionate pursuit of perfection) Audi uber alles!

  • Great car, but why a cassete player? - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    Great car! I just wonder why they put a cassete player in this car. It does not make sense. It has been like 3 years Ive seen a cassete tape for the last time. If you have money to buy this car, having a cd should not be a problem. Audi should offer that as an optional for those that want a 2004 car with with a 1970 audio system. Overall great!

  • Continued Audi Satisfaction - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    I chose the A4 Cabriolet 3.0 Quattro over the BMW 330ci, Volvo S70 Covertible, MB 320 Cabriolet, Infiniti G35 Coupe and others based on four previously satisfactory experiences with Audi. Their cars continue to offer an unbeatable combinatgion of some of the highest build quality, design, materials and performance at a very competitive price. My new A4 Cabriolet is (so far) the best of my Audis.

  • Great Car For The Money - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    Took delivery of my 04 in August and still try to find reasons to get myself behind the wheel. If youre coming from a faster car it may be a bit slow for you (not the case for me). The "Turbo Lag" is not an issue on the automatic in my opinion. Overall Ive never owned a better car and still try to find reasons why this car isnt perfect. There were some reported issues in the original B6 platform models (2002-3 A4s) but those have been resolved (mainly coilpack stuff). I hope anyone looking at a BMW 3 series or Saab 9-3 has a look at the Audi, it certainly has something to offer.

  • an awesome car - 2004 Audi A4

    This car seems that it will last forever. We just bought it for the family and we love it. I am seriously going to buy one when I get a new car.

  • audi a4 quatro - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    The Audi is so much fun to drive I stay in the sport and manual tiptronic a lot as I have not had so much fun driving since I had a BMW convertatble. I use the car to commute to the train and I found that for $1500 more down and about $55.00 a month I can drive this hot car opposed to a Jeep Liberty! I needed the 4 wheel for the winter. I also have a ML320 which my wife uses but I dont mind traking this car to the city and going out with a customer. With the premium package black on black 50 tint 17 inch wheel sthe car is HOT!

  • 2004 A4 Quattro 6M - 2004 Audi A4
    By -

    Wonderful to drive, bought because it will seat 5 (4 adults, 1 child)and average over 30mpg. Test drove many others before purchasing and love this car. 4 yr-50,000 mile warranty didnt hurt either. Very well laid out interior, Bose XM stereo is awesome! All wheel drive handles well on wet or dry roadways. Im 63" tall 230lbs. and it fits me well. Plenty of power from turbo. Did add a rear spoiler to set it apart from other A4s.
