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.

  • Pretty, but not worth it - 2003 Audi A4
    By -

    I bought this car used with 50,000 miles. I loved it for the first couple of months, until things started going wrong. I had to replace all the ignition coils, fuel pump, check valves, broken moonroof, broken window regulator, broken cupholder. Oh yea, and just a few months ago there was a fire, cost over $5000 worth of damage under the hood, thank goodness insurance covered it. They said either an ignition coil or the wiring harness had a malfunction. When my coolant tank cracked and wouldnt hold coolant, I decided it was time to trade it in. I loved the car, but I cant afford to keep fixing it and I dont want to be worried all the time about something breaking or catching on fire.

  • 2017 Audi A4 sets luxury entry level - 2017 Audi A4
    By -

    A complete redesigned A4 reaches new levels of technology and luxury. The technology in this winner is state of the art. I almost feel like I need to go back to school and get an IT degree to get the most out of this amazing vehicle. Apple Car Play works like a charm the minute you plug into the designated USB port in the glove box. For you Android people it also handles Google Play (or whatever the comparable technology is named). The ability to load the Nav system where you would normally find your speed and RPM dials gives you the feel that you are the pilot in a 747. Speaking of the Nav system it is the best of any vehicle I have ever owned or system used. That includes Honda, Acura and Garmin. So many electronic gadgets that I urge you to check out this magnificent machine online. I am also surprised at how well it does on mpg -- I got 31.5 on highway driving. Im sure that will even improve on a longer trip. Very pleased with this purchase. My sales rep at Audi Natick, Kevin Schuster, was great. Only drawback is it takes premium fuel, but with this high performance engine its worth it. The 2017 A4 is a winner in every way.

  • Fantastic car, minor niggles - 2007 Audi A4
    By -

    After driving this car fairly hard and accumulating about 37,000 miles, I can honestly say it has been a great ride. The tires will wear down very fast if you push them hard - I had to replace my first set after just 10 months. Also, rear legroom is tight and I suggest changing the oil every 4,000 miles contrary to the dealer-recommended 10,000 mile interval. Wish the exhaust note was a little more inspiring too. Tires can squeak easy if pulling into traffic fast and ride can be a bit crashing on bad surfaces. Stability control is excellent and has saved me on multiple occasions from slipping off the highway ramps! Most important is how beautiful the car looks too!

  • Look forward to driving to work - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    This is my first Audi. Having spent a while looking around at other cars, I was sold on the Audi by its new looks alone. Once inside, on the road, and around the curves I knew it was the car for me. BMW lost me on their new 3 series re-design. Great sound system, convenient display of XM Radio data, toasty heated seats, & great dash design. The 2.0T is an engineering powerhouse when considering its fuel efficiency.

  • Hands Down Winner - 2010 Audi A4
    By -

    Lease was ending on a 2007 A4, and looked at the BMW 328, Mercedes 350C, and G37 as well as the 2010 A4 This car had the best balance of performance / luxury relative to price of anything I looked at (I have the Premium Plus and Sport Package). Dont be put off by the 4 cyl turbo - driven in "S" mode the car has as much, if not more, acceleration as the others and is a blast to drive. Im looking forward to three great years with this one!

  • Magnificent suspension - 2009 Audi A4
    By -

    The suspension on this car is magnificent! It handles curves like a slingshot, by far my favorite car so far.

  • A really good luxury car - 2013 Audi A4
    By -

    I have an A4 Premium Plus Quattro with the sports packages and a manual transmission. The interior and exterior are basically flawless - showing Audis attention to details. I have drive over 40,000 miles since I purchased this new and have only had a few minor trim issues - nothing serious. The handling is AMAZING and the car is definitely quick for its class. I truly enjoy this car - twisty roads are the best as nothing seems to make the car cut lose. It is a very good looking car and the interior is incredibly comfortable - with nice soft-touch materials. Overall the car has been a positive experience and I would recommend it to anyone that asks. I only have two minor negatives about this vehicle - neither a reason not to purchase it: 1) The fact that it did not come with Bluetooth streaming unless you upgraded to the Prestige trim with the navigation system - a $4,000 upgrade for something that every Kia seems to come with by default. 2) I have had either indifferent or negative experiences every time I go to the Audi dealer (Plano, TX) for service - this has made it incredibly unlikely that I will ever purchase another Audi. Even with those negatives this is an amazing car and you should at least test drive it if you are considering it - that may make the decision easy for you!

  • Glenns Audi Review - 2001 Audi A4
    By -

    This is the best car I have ever owned. I used to own a Mercedes C230 Komprssor, and liked it, but this A$ I like even more. The dealer has been outstanding, as well. I would highly recommend an Audi to anyone.

  • Family wagon = class, fun & style - 2010 Audi A4
    By -

    I have only had the 2010 Audi A4 Avant for a month, but it has absolutely bedazzled me. In replacing my trusty Honda Civic, I had the following criteria: (1) AWD to get through Wisconsin winters (2) roomy enough to accommodate a family of four, but no SUVs or minivans (3) an attractive and fun-to-drive car. The A4 Avant easily fits the bill. I cant wait to get into the car each morning - but because my commute is only 10 minutes each way, I take the car for a spin each weekend, cruising over the beautiful rolling hills of Wisconsin. My only gripe is with fuel economy. I drive mostly in the city, and I have not been able to achieve 21 mpg unless I mix in some highway driving.

  • Its worth it... - 2005 Audi A4
    By -

    The cvt transmission takes some time to get used to. This car is amazing, the top is great, gets decent gas mileage but requires premium. Audi does have problems with dealer communications... Seems you have to do your own research if you want anything fixed at the dealer. Discontinuedthe warranty is out its going to an independent shop. Its a pain but totally worth it!
