Overview & Reviews
All new, the A4 replaces the compact 90. This car performs better than the lackluster 90, and features a full load of standard features. Plus, it's drop-dead gorgeous. For the first time, a five-speed automatic transmission is available with the optional Quattro all-wheel-drive system.

best car for the money - 1996 Audi A4
By Audifantothedeath - September 10 - 2:00 amThis is a good all around car. It handles like a dream but lack a little power but is suffiecient. Interior and extierior design is wonderful yet simple. This car will last forever IF you take care of it. If you neglect it just a little the problems show up. Great car I love it!

Piece of Junk after 60K - 1996 Audi A4
By Disappointed in Audi - July 9 - 2:00 amLoved the car, until I hit 60K miles - fuel pump, thermostat, two water pumps, CV Boots, coolant reservoir, radio/casette player. Treated like a human wallet by the dealer in Hermosa Beach, CA. Used to love the car, now I am going broke keeping it going.

Terrific performance - 1996 Audi A4
By SaD - June 29 - 2:00 amI bought it used (96) in 4/99. Fantastic handling, cornering and shifting. Great Bose audio with 8 speakers. Very comfortable leather seats for long drive. I drove from DC to Quebec city - it was a lot of fun. Handles well at 120 mph (in Canada !). Overall fun and luxurious car to drive. Will definitely buy it again. Only had some trouble with front suspension once.

fun - 1996 Audi A4
By diana - June 28 - 2:00 amThis has been a great car to drive. Very comfortable and great handling. It did not loose anything even after 2 front-end wrecks. I agree the cup holders are a joke. If you make a fast turn, big cups tip. Dashboard layout is easy to use. I have not had any significant mechanical problems other than a fuelpump that faltered in the first year. It was cheerfully replaced while I drove a loaner.

Great, reliable buy! - 1996 Audi A4
By jayb - June 25 - 2:00 amI loved this car the day I bought it. I purchased with 85K and have only had work on the rear brakes. Car is amazingly fast and handles like a sports car. Suspension is perfect for any driving situation and has an extremely comfortable ride. I would encourage any one to buy this vehicle.

Sweet ride!! - 1996 Audi A4
By supercool - June 19 - 2:00 amThe FWD has great pick up especially if you have the 5spd with the saved weight. It is a little on the roley side, but it is taken care of by easy instal of sway bar in the rear. Super comfy and attention to detail is incredible. It had no problems with it when I got it at 63k and it still doesnt at 80k. Turns heads and I have got more comments on this car then any other even my 300zxtt.
