This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Sharp handling
  • Available all-wheel drive
  • Generous maintenance program.
  • Classy, well-constructed interiors
  • Precise steering
Cons:
  • Engines short on low-end torque, tight backseat.

  • Amazing Auto - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    Im an American living in Germany. The Autobahn is made for driving. The A4 is made for the Autobahns. Plenty of power, the new 2 litre turbo has more than enough power. Handling, when you get on the mountain passes, you really need it. Thats something that my SUV did not have. I would recommend this car to anyone.

    This vehicle has been everything Ive expected and more. On most of my highway trips (usually 800 miles each way) I average around 30mpg and thats crossing the Rocky Mountains. The performance of the 2.0T is great for a 4cyl. Rarely do I have to shift out of 6th gear in order to pass or go up a grade. The interior is very comfortable and well laid out. The fit & finish is amazing, as expected from an Audi. Overall, I cant say this car is perfect but any of its slight nuances are easily overshadowed by everything else.

  • What a car! - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    This car is awesome! I didnt drive much prior to owning this car, but it begs to be driven! I did chip it to get some additional HP and torque, and put on light weight 18" wheels and ultra high proformance tires to lighten it some but even the stock version was fun to drive! If you buy this car or have a chance to drive it, take it on a canyon road and really push the car! It responds great to tight corners and accelerates like a dream! Nothing anyone can write will express the true enjoyment you get with this car! Even rush hour traffic is bearable! Quattro is a must! Try it for yourself!

  • 04 A4 1.8T to 06 A4 2.0T Quattro S-Line - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    I just replaced my 2004 A4 1.8T fronttrack with a 2006 2.0T quattro. The car just feels better in every aspect. The quattro makes a huge difference. The 2.0T is a huge improvement over the 1.8T. i also have the S-Line sport package with summer tires. Only complaint from me is that Audi/VW will no longer offer XM radio as a factory option starting 2007 model year. Thats why I bought it now. Not a fan of Sirius at all.

  • Best A4 Yet - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    Ive had several A4s and this is the best on yet. The others were manual shift and I was concerned that there would be a performance loss with this car, but thats not the case. Like all Audis this one is solid, designed well, and fun to drive. The tiptronic is simply amazing with three different shift options - sport mode does a great job of keeping the revs up, downshifting correctly - all in all, feeling just like a manual without the hassle of shifing. Everyone I know loves this car. I test drove a new 330i, and while the BMW does have a great motor, Im not a fan of its design - too overwrought and incongruent - hard to look at, inside and out.

    I have an 06 S-line quattro six speed. Great car. Quick, agile, weather-proof. Exquisite interior. The only thing that wold have made it THE perfect car is maybe a 6 cyl. instead of the turbo 4. An Avant would also be a great alternative to a gas- guzzling SUV. A fantastic car with few compromises. I saw a S-line with the new graphite package and it is absolutely a killer looking ride.

  • Great Car! - 2006 Audi A4

    I bought my A4 used with 29K miles, and it feels like I bought a new car. The 2.0T is more than enough for normal daily driving. The CVT took a little getting used to, but now I love the smooth shifting it provides. The interior is very classy. Overall, this car makes me want Audis for the rest of my life.

    I love this car. I love everything about it. Nice ride, very good in gas, comfortable driving. I like it more than BMW325 and some other BMW. Just a fun car to drive. Buy one and you will not regret. I am thinking of trading it in for a new A4.

  • Certified 2006 - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    I picked up a 2006 A4 2.0T with all the bells and whistles and I love it. It handles wonderfully, it wants to be driven fast and in tight spots. I have wanted an A4 since the 2005.5 was introduced. The style and comfort make me smile everytime! I finally enjoy driving everyday. I will never drive a two wheel drive vehicle again (I live in Michigan).

  • A few reservations - 2006 Audi A4
    By -

    The A4, while fun to drive, leaves some reservations. There is a noticeable hesitation when starting from zero. Consumer Reports mentions this. The 4-cyl. turbo, while powerful with a nice, occasionally pleasant burble, is, at times coarse. Also noticed by CR. The sound quality of the audio system is just good, not up to the sound in our 99 A6. But the comfort and convenience, the surprising torque, the sheer joy of taking turns faster than you really should while the A4 clings firmly to the asphalt is thrilling.
