Overview & Reviews
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.

Audi A4 3.2 Quattro Prestige, Sports Pac - 2009 Audi A4
By Bomchickawaawaa - May 30 - 9:20 pmMy car choices when searching came down to the BMW 335 sedan, Lexus GS 350, and the Audi A4. I decided to purchase the A4 based on the features and price. The A4 has the quattro AWD, fold down rear seats, 14 speaker Bang and Olufsen system, bluetooth and navigation. I felt that the exterior styling and the better interior features of the A4 outweighed the engine performance of the 335i. The Lexus rear bumper styling just didnt grow on me. So far after driving the car for the first 1000 miles I am so happy about my decision. The A4 is fast off the line and pulling on the freeway in sports mode, the handling is great with the quattro, and its very eye catching with the LED driving lights.

not bad, not great - 1998 Audi A4
By joezaza - May 28 - 10:00 amI also dreamed about an A4 for years before getting my 98 A4Q Tiptronic. The quattro is awesome in the snow. But the entire transmission was replaced at 22k mi (under warranty fortunately) and dealer could not explain why. Plus few other misc repairs. Now its out of warranty, I think Ill get something more reliable. This is a great looking, fun car to drive with a lively engine. But its not as reliable as my old Audi 90.

A Very Pretty Lemon - 2003 Audi A4
By A very Pretty Lemon - May 26 - 7:24 amThis is the prettiest lemon I have ever owned! Not worth the cost of the tires. It is very unreliable. I purchased this car for my daughter last year, a college student, and she has been stranded so many times that AAA canceled our contract after only 4 months! First the CVT went out, then its been in the shop for numerous sensor replacements. Headlight replacements, $300 a pop. Just required to have the timing belt replaced at only 80K on Friday ($1500), Saturday a.m. my daughter called and said the check engine light came back on.

best wagon we ever owned - 2004 Audi A4
By ML/ Knoxville - May 24 - 10:00 amWe had a Passat Wagon but this outhandles it over all. Quality , ride and handling are superb, 17 inch wheels and sport package make this wagon fun to drive. This is our second Audi we have an 2003 A-4 sedan , this one is better handling than the sedan. Harper Audi in Knoxville was a great dealership to work with. Iwould buy again from them.

Outstanding - 2009 Audi A4
By Midwest - May 21 - 10:30 pmThis is my first entry level luxury sedan purchase. Im very thorough in my research and compared BMW, Lexus and Audi. Performance, quality and style made Audi the best choice for me.

Its a sport wagon not a station wagon! - 2009 Audi A4
By BabyA - May 19 - 5:18 pmI test drove the BMW 328i wagon, Saab 9-3 Combi, Prius, Audi A3, Subaru Impreza, VW GTI, Volvo V50 and the Mazda 3. The A4 Avant had the luxury, speed, room, look, and quality of materials I was looking for. I took my first maiden road trip and could not be happier. No body aches, great gas mileage, great handling in rain and when the sun came out I opened up the panoramic sun roof.

The Best of Both Worlds! - 2009 Audi A4
By gottahavethebest - May 19 - 5:01 pmIve driven everything in this segment from Lexus IS, MBenz, to BMW and this car is the best combination of Luxury, Performance, and comfort. I chose the Prem Plus Sport Pkg with 18s and 6spd Manual! Audi has completely raised the bar with this one. The sport pkg takes the handling threshold into triple digits with ease. Plus Ive been getting 31.3 MPG cruising between 72- 80mph hwy which is unheard of. I had a 2007 Infiniti G35x and never got north of 19MPG. Just drive the A4 once and youll understand completely.

Power Window Controls and Other Stuff - 2007 Audi A4
By lilicece - May 19 - 9:35 amIm constantly having to fool with power window controls. So sensitive it either goes all the way down or all the way up hard to get it right where you want it. Arm rest design is poor and blocks access to cup holders and hand break. Eats oil like there is no tomorrow. Performance is great. Nearest dealer 1 hour away which is a drag.

Balanced Comfort - 2007 Audi A4
By RascalD - May 18 - 9:26 pmThis is my first Audi. I always had an impression of Audi being a softer BMW, and all in all I think I was correct. After having owned many performance cars I was looking for something more comfortable for my long drives so I decided to check out Audi. This is definitely a comfortable car. You get a fair amount of luxury, good performance, great gas mileage, and a beautiful car inside and out for the money; all without the unwanted image the BMW provides, which frankly I got tired of. If you want a more performance oriented car the 3-series is cream of the crop; however, if you want a more compliant German made car the A4 is a great car for less money.

A blast to drive but VERY pricey to fix! - 2004 Audi A4
By Paul - May 18 - 12:51 pmThis is an amazing car to drive. It handles like a dream on both dry roads and ice packed roads. The interior is beautiful and very functional. You will definitely get some head turns with this car. I would, however, anyone who is considering buying this car to reconsider. The car is extremely expensive to fix and seems to have more problems than the average car. I have taken amazing car of the car but unfortunately it has not returned the favor. In the past 6 months I have put approximately $4500 into the car. I dont know how much longer I can keep it up. I would highly recommend looking at a Toyota convertible.
