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.

  Germans Do It Right - 2004 Audi A4
  By Will Schmidt - January 27 - 10:00 am

  Love my Audi! Excellent quality inside and out. They did not cut corners on anything. I test drove the Infinity 35, Maxima, and found the Audi to be the best value for my money.The exterior fit and finish is awsome.

  My Audi - 2004 Audi A4
  By fredscuba - January 27 - 10:00 am

  My Audi A4 is a fun car to drive. Even when I am commuting, sliding into the drivers seat brightens my day. The quick accelleration, sharp handling and luxury interior makes my day. Being the only sedan in the office able to drive through deep snow or ice also has its advantages and the quattro drive is a pleasure.

  Hits The Mark - 2009 Audi A4
  By PaigeLGOIT - January 26 - 12:56 pm

  In the three years leading up to this car, I drove a Saab 9-3. And I admittedly enjoyed the car. But after driving the Audi A4, I cant imagine ever going back to another manufacturer. The handling is tight, the speed is quick and the ride is firm without being hard.

  Awesome car! - 2004 Audi A4
  By BCguy - January 21 - 2:00 am

  Traded in my 99 for an 04. The interior is even classier than the original, the seats are more comfortable. This car is a pleasure to drive in any weather. Test drove the 3- series, c-class, TSX and G35 and none even compared to my previous A4. The 3- series handles very similarly, but lacks 4-wheel drive and costs too much money when considering features and interior quality. Audi dealers seem to be fancying up their facilities and services to compete with other luxury makes, and my dealer was great with servicing my previous A4. I would definately recommend this car to anyone.

  By Jerry J. - January 21 - 2:00 am

  This is my first car! I have driven others but this car beats them all. Quattro AWD system holds the road great. Drives better in the snow that my friends SUV. Theres always a sense of control. Car has just enough pep. Tiptronic keeps you involed. Would reccomend this car to everyone!

  I love my 1997 Audi A4 - 1997 Audi A4
  By Joy - January 19 - 6:41 pm

  I purchased my Audi in 1996 and drove it every day until I retired in 2002. Its great. Its been 100% reliable. Its a 5 speed stick shift red sedan. I use to put lots of miles on it commuting to work and visiting family 4 hours away. Now my life style has changed and my car is still thrilling to drive. It sits for days when I dont drive it and it still drives like a charm when I use it. Id buy this car again and again and again.

  Love this car! - 2009 Audi A4
  By RipLip - January 19 - 5:34 pm

  Love this car. Its fun to drive and has character. It may not be the fastest in its class, but it is fast enough. The interior design is excellent and the interior space is much more roomier than the older A4s. Personally, I think the exterior design is nicer than the 3 series and C class.
