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.

  Audi A4 2.0T - Poor Gas Mileage - 2006 Audi A4
  By audichump - February 23 - 1:56 pm

  The gas mileage is worse than a V8 Ford F150 loaded. Ford truck 19 mpg hgwy, Audi A4 16-17 mpg hgwy!! Dont by the CVT, you cannot accelerate smoothly from a stop, it hesitates and then BAM, it lunges, especially on a ramp in a parking structure or making a left turn, nice! You cannot use the center console because it interferes with the hand brake, lovely. The brakes chatter when slowing from ~50 mph, e.g. coming down an off-ramp from the freeway. Absolutely the worst car Ive ever owned. Dont buy an Audi.

  Coolness for a wagon - 2006 Audi A4
  By PJ - February 20 - 11:15 pm

  Wife wanted to downsize from SUV to a wagon. After test driving Subaru and Saab, I convinced her to ignore the price of the Audi A4 Avant 2.0T and test drive it. She loved it. While not much of a wagon fan, I have found I really like driving this semi-sporty little car. I love the sport shift, cornering ability (with 17 inch wheels/tires), and excellent suspension. The little 4 cyl has decent accel power - more than I anticipated. This is our first Audi and we really like it. Interior represents genius design.

  Repairs can be expensive but that comes with the Audi brand and technology. I love my Audi A 4 the driving experience is excellent! It is a reliable car as long as you keep up the maintenance .

  I had to find SOMETHING wrong... - 2006 Audi A4
  By at165db - January 14 - 9:24 pm

  ...but the only thing that comes to mind is the shark fin antenna. I love the layout of the interior, the steering wheel controls, the clutch is great, I got the sports suspension and its fine for everyday use, but when I go to the mountains, it really shines! Ive never had a car with dimming side view mirrors, and Ive got to say, that feature works so well. As for how the car drives, Ive been driving my car for 8 months now, and recently drove a friends civic. Its crazy how spoiled you be come when you drive an audi. The car behaves SO much better at 80 mph on the freeways than something like a honda. In short, I love everything about this car.

  Outstanding for a 4cyl - 2006 Audi A4
  By Stefan - January 10 - 4:56 pm

  Excellent machine! Always wanted an Audi, dont know why I waited so long. Ive owned other German made vehicles and the Audi is far superior! I believe Ive found my car of choice for future purchases. Totally sold.

  Practical and fun to drive - 2006 Audi A4
  By DaveZ - January 9 - 7:19 am

  Second A4 Ive owned and this one is a lot more fun to drive. 2.0T is a great engine, lots of pep despite a little turbo lag. Have been averaging almost 28 mpg. Handling is great, very responsive. Have had a few electrical problems, but still love the car. Cant get it away from my wife! Back seat a little tight, but great trunk space. Nav system takes some getting used to, not as intuitive as my wifes MDX. Really like the satellite radio and the whole sound system. Overall very satisfied.

  One year and 22,000 miles later - 2006 Audi A4
  By Dpark - December 22 - 9:16 pm

  Ive had my A4 now just over a year and have put 22,000 miles on it half of which were driving back and forth fom DC to NY in lousy winter weather. The car is so good, the only reason I will ever own another is if and when I splurge on an S4. I had heard mixed reviews about the last generation of A4s reliabilty. Well, I have not had a single problem. Handling, traction, steering and control are out of this world. I often travel and end up renting other cars its amazing how less secure I feel in them compared to the A4.

  Flawless at 15,000 Miles - 2006 Audi A4
  By Bandit Three - December 16 - 12:33 pm

  Mechanically there have been zero problems. The car has performed nicely. Last week, pulling into an intersection I was within three meters of being broad sided by a car running through the red light at high speed. I punched the gas pedal and the cars AWD gripped the road allowing the 2.0 Liter Turbo to haul me out of harms way, permitting the other car to screech around and behind mien Audi. My life, or quality thereof, was saved by this car.

  Overrated - 2006 Audi A4
  By Audiboy305 - December 10 - 3:24 am

  Ive had my Audi for months. Already had to get 1 headlight replaced. It shifts horribly, squeaky interior, at high speeds I get rattles from the dash very annoying. Im glad its a lease, no more Audi for me. Only good thing is the looks and design. Build quality is awful. I have every option to include titanium pkg. Seats are a bit uncomfortable, back seat space is minimal. No power for 2.0T. Oh and they dont use real leather seats.
