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.

Stay Away! - 1998 Audi A4
By LauraZV - July 28 - 2:00 amBought this car in 98, thought I was buying the ultimate car. All the seals leaked, problems with exhaust. Tie rods went, radiator developed a leak, as well as water pump. Wheel bearings went in two wheels, all with less than 50 K miles in 5 years! Noise in rear of car that two car dealers could not find, then told that rear suspension needed replacing. Traded in for a Honda, very happy now, but experience with Audi, who did not compensate me for my expenses and agony, was miserable. Audi is a four letter word to me now. Dont buy an Audi.

Never Again - 1998 Audi A4
By badchoice - June 30 - 2:00 amI will never by another Audi. This vehicle has had several major mechanical issues, and the manufacturer has refused to cover them since it is out of warranty. A vehicle in this class with relatively low mileage should not have these issues (and our Infiniti doesnt). It is the most unreliable vehicle Ive ever purchased. I know several other owners who had similar experiences.

Please help me sell my lemon - 1998 Audi A4
By Please buy my lemon - April 12 - 2:00 amHere I sit car-less again. My Audi A4 is in the shop. Last month it was the clutch. My car has only 60,000 miles! And yes, this is the FIRST time I have ever had to replace a clutch and its my fourth manual trans car. My computer has to be reset continuously. I have replaced my CD changer twice. And why is it they make you trade in the old one but STILL charge over $200 for the new one??? Also, why was Brake Check able to locate the oil leak in one visit when the dealer wasnt able to locate it in MULTIPLE visits? I wanted to wait a year before buying a new car, but I have recently determined that I cant afford to spend another dime on this lemon!

Turbo Lagging - 2003 Audi A4
By ReallyBad - January 11 - 10:00 amVery dangerous Turbo Lag. BEWARE the 1.8T with the Auto-trans. Step on the pedal, and nothing happens... then, count to 2, and the turbo kicks in. By that point, you could be in big trouble! The delay is very dangerous! Audi should be ashamed to offer a vehicle with this amount of turbo lag. I sold mine after 6 months of frustration.

2004 Audi A4 - A LEMON! - 2004 Audi A4
By mvaladez - December 13 - 10:00 amMy AUDI A4 is on the brink of "lemon" classification -- it has been in the shop for 22 days. I bought the car just 6 months ago and sadly, Ive had problems with it for the past 3 months. According to the service center, it is not safe to drive. It shakes violently and for some unfortunate reason, always decides to buck when coming to a stop. The transmission part needed is on back order & Audi has no idea when it will arrive. Apparently "tracking systems" are not part of Audis lexicon. I highly advise anyone interested in purchasing this vehicle to do plenty of research on the CVT system and think twice before going down this path.

Audi Nightmare!!! - 2000 Audi A4
By Jennifer - August 4 - 2:00 amThis car was WONDERFUL-- until the warranty expired. Since then, I have spent thousands of dollars on engine and suspension repairs. Steve White Audi (Greenville, SC) has the least professional and incompetent service department I have encountered. Audi of America does not hold the dealers responsible, and make minimal efforts to ensure quality service.

Buyer Beware! - 1996 Audi A4
By meld - March 18 - 12:53 pmDo NOT buy a used A4 if you dont also purchase a full aftermarket warranty at the same time! My car was literally in the shop every month for the past year and has been in every week for the past 5 weeks. I am completely underwhelmed ....

junk - 1998 Audi A4
By doctorrocket9 - January 11 - 8:46 amWe bought a pretty pearl white 1.8T with sport package. Two weeks after the warranty expired, the dealer said we needed new brakes, tires, and rear ball bearings, total bill $3000. The car needed endless work during the warranty, but at least we didnt have to pay for it. This was our second and final Audi, both with extensive problems lasting and very high repair costs. Now we drive Hondas.
