Overview & Reviews

A4 sedans and wagons get new bi-xenon headlamps along with a new satellite/navigation/AM and FM radio antenna. Satellite radio (XM or Sirius) is now optional on the A4 Cabriolet. OnStar is no longer an available option. A substantially refreshed A4 debuts as a midyear release, and boasts new engines, an upgraded chassis and revised styling.

• Classy, well-constructed interiors, sharp handling, precise steering, available all-wheel drive, generous maintenance program.

• Engines short on low-end torque, sport package makes for a choppy ride.

  Awful, awful, AWFUL! - 2005 Audi A4
  By BethanyE - September 28 - 2:00 am

  I have replaced: the crank shaft, the A/C compressor, the fuel injector pump, tires TWICE in 2.5 years (Im a girl - I dont ride this car hard at all), the air intake, headlights x 13 (there are an insane amount of headlights in this car). I would have been better off (and happier) riding the bus.

  Worst Car I have ever bought!!! - 2005 Audi A4
  By durank - February 13 - 4:45 pm

  The car was fine until the warranty ran out. I kept every service appointment with my car on time at only the Audi dealership and took excellent care of my car having it detailed each spring. Within a year of the warranty expiring my car would not start and at 62,000 miles and four years old my car needed a new $13,000 engine!!! The dealership told me they could not determine the cause and would not take care of any of the cost, which were more than the car was worth. They offered me nothing for a trade in and no deals on purchasing a new Audi, no financing. Audi does not stand by their cars or customers.

  look elsewhere - 2005 Audi A4
  By David Wycliff - June 8 - 5:26 pm

  I loved this car for its exterior design although the interior design feels cheap(its same just a Volkswagen). I had so many problems with this car I dont even know where to start. It wont accelarate when entering freeway.. dealder replace turbo related crcuit borad and the problem came back three times now. I sent a letter to Audi under New Jerseys Lemon law. I hope I can get my money back. Numourous rattles coming from all over the place. and I cant believe I bougth a 30K 1.8 liter car..total lack of power. interior design is so busy.. distracting red light all over the place. this near luxury car is cheaper than competition cause its cheaply made

  Lemon - 2005 Audi A4
  By tomhorvath - August 9 - 10:00 am

  Although pretty to look at, and fun enough to drive, the design shortcomings and limited features quickly became tiresome. Mediocre fit and finish was just the beginning of our experience with a car that went back for repair over and over. What started out as chasing rattles and loose trim lead to a noisy undercarraige and a replaced transmission. The dealer did all the warranty work with a smile, but we took the hint and traded it in for another brand car, built in a whole different country. The car is fine for a test drive, but soon disappoints.
