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.

  Engine Problems Never Ending - 2006 Audi A4
  By BSD - February 19 - 3:53 pm

  Bad engine intake valve at 49K. Dealership lost the paperwork & I drove it for a month (& beyond warranty) with the ck engine light on before they got the car fixed. Now 2k out of warranty, 4th cylinder taking in air, bad valve seat, needs new cylinder head & misc. valves. And now theyre telling me the problem is that Im changing the oil & performing maintenance per the manufacturers instructions & I should co-pay the bill on a pre-existing condition!? I bought this car new I am the primary driver this is my first foreign-made vehicle If Audi doesnt stand behind its product 100% it will be my last.

  Audi has created a perfect engine: 2.0T - 2006 Audi A4
  By Scott Nelson Sturman - December 30 - 4:06 pm

  I swore to myself---after I graduated from college---that Id never own another 4-cylinder car. I was driving my second Volvo, an S80 T6 when I ordered my 2005.5 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro Sedan 6-speed. I did it because I worked for the Audi dealership at the time, and had grown tired of getting stuck in the snow with the Volvo (even with snow tires). I can honestly say that I have never loved a car as much as my new Audi. It is so much fun to drive... a 10 minute drive to the store ends up taking 40 minutes, as I have to sample every winding road in my new car. This car is a lease, so Ill have to be careful to not go over my mileage. Speaking of... I am getting almost 35 MPG highway/28 MPG city.

  Look forward to driving to work - 2006 Audi A4
  By ERad - November 25 - 11:10 pm

  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.

  great handling and good pick-up when you need to add move ahead of the traffic flow 80 mph feels like 40 mph.

  2006 3.2 Quattro AT - 2006 Audi A4
  By macpora - November 7 - 7:00 am

  Excellent vehicle. I drove it from LA to Colorado Springs averaging 28MPG, fast. Yes, lacking in low end torque but no shortage of passing power. Dream to drive through the canyons of Utah and Colorado. Handles very well in icy conditions.

  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.

  Safe & Solid - 2006 Audi A4
  By audilover - August 28 - 3:51 pm

  Well balanced road manners. The quattro system is amazing in the snow. Very stable on wet roadways. Full size spare tire is a plus. Very comfortable seats. Heating and a/c controls are too complicated. Fit and finish inside and out is of a very high quality. My A4 came with every available option. I have put 98,000 miles on it since I purchased new in 04/2006. Maintenance can be expensive. I get 30mpg average city/highway. Have gotten 36mpg on a long trip. Adaptive xenon headlights are ok but kind of gimmicky. Had to have them replaced under warranty. Timing belt requires replacement at 110,000 miles. I just had mine done at 90,000miles. Cost was $1,600.

  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.

  What a car - 2006 Audi A4
  By GerryM - July 20 - 10:24 am

  The precision of the steering, the power of the turbo and overall fun to drive aspect, has revitalized me and given me a reason to love cars again. Definitely not a boring, Lexus and Acura. This is German engineering at its best.

  New Audi Guy - 2006 Audi A4
  By Spidermac - July 12 - 2:53 pm

  Just purchased my A4 and I love it. Driving in Sport mode is an absolute blast, the car takes off like a rocket. The fuel efficiency is pretty good so far too, which is a pleasant surprise. Everything on the car is tight and the ESP (electronic stability program or some such) keeps the car going straight. With the scheduled maintenance (first 50K miles) included in the car is a great value for the money.
