2005 Audi A4 1.8T Special Ed. Fwd 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

Review

One of the most beautiful cars around. The interior is first class. The Special edition adds more fun to the driving experience, though a little stiff on bumpy roads. The only con is performance. The engine could use a little more power. Overall, a car that turns heads and gets lots of ohhh!! inside and out; but don't challenge other cars for a quick race... you'll be left eating dust.

Favorite Features

Trip computer, bose stereo system

Suggested Improvements

More power!!!

Review

The car is a pretty good car, but if it didn't have maintenance and a really good warranty I would have gone broke by now. The A4 after 2000 miles started having problems with the engine, then around 15000 miles the windows on the car would not go up or down and so was the sunroof which was stuck during the rainy season in california. At around 22000 miles the car's transmission light started going off and on, went to the dealership to only find out the transmission module had broken. But thanks to the warranty it was covered or would have cost me over 6000 dollars to replace, but I had no car for over a month.

Favorite Features

The bose sound system, plus I got got some subwoofers which all go great together, the autodimming mirrors, sport package.

Suggested Improvements

Outside auto dimming mirror, tire pressure monitoring, dual power seats, two pull out cup holders over that stupid little credit card or change slot, standard larger rims with 18s included in sport package, nicer rims with color option.

A fun car in all respects

Vehicle

2005 Audi A4 3.0 quattro AWD 2dr Cabriolet (3.0L 6cyl 5A)

Review

I parted with a '93 Toyota Supra for my Audi 3.0 Quattro convertible. It has it all---style, performance, luxury, all wheel drive, comfort---the whole package. I've been nothing but pleased with the car. For style + safety, this is the car for you.

Favorite Features

The coolest "whistle" to me is the side view mirrors retract electronically if you're in a tight parking space & the right mirror automatically tilts down (if set that way) when you back up, so you can see the curb or ground to the right. The convertible's wind screen is nice also.

Suggested Improvements

If there's a negative about this car, it's only the cup holder and it could use some work. Not much else needs improving!

Love my audi

2005 Audi A4 New 2.0T quattro AWD 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

Review

It reminds me a lot of the 1980 VW Scirocco with 14 pound callaway turbo I had in high school. It's amazingly fun to drive and handles great for the price. I highly recommend it.

Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements

Electrical system, as with most Audis, could be improved. Alarm takes 3 seconds to beep. My driver side map light keeps crapping out. Minor annoyances, but annoyances none the less.

My first convertible

Written by: Mike on 03/25/2006

Vehicle

2005 Audi A4 3.0 Fwd 2dr Cabriolet (3.0L 6cyl CVT)

Review

After deciding to spring for my first convertible it didn't take long to see that Audi had engineered a great package with the A4 Cabriolet. It feels solid on the road. The V-6 has plenty of juice to merge into traffic, and the styling is subtle but elegant. And, you don't see yourself coming and going on the road. Its taken 9 months before I finally passed myself on the interstate. For my 6'1" linebacker frame, I wasn't sure I could find a convertible I felt comfortable in, but the A4 Cab. has one of the most comfortable and supportive cabins out there if your a big guy like me. The top operation is flawless and road noise is much less than I thought. All in all, a great convertible!

Favorite Features

Elegant style, powerful engine, one touch top operation, great interior ergonomics (other than top control) and interior lighting

Suggested Improvements

Petal spacing could be wider for my big feet. Window controls are a bit sensitive if you bump while opening the door, placement of top control is under arm rest and bit unusual to reach.

The most fun Luxury Entry Sports Sedan

2005 Audi A4 New 2.0T quattro AWD 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

Review

Having driven all of the competitors, the Audi A4 2.0T Quattro was by far my easiest choice to date. Awesome driving dynamics and comfort combined make it the most fun to drive. She's been through 100 Mph, 100 mile non-stop drives at 107F and a 70 Mph drive through a raging mid-west blizzard -- couldn't tell the difference. Combine this with top-notch reliability -- never had a single issue with her in a year now.

Favorite Features

The engine -- 2.0T FSI -- is an awesome piece of work. The Premium sound (Bose) is great. The Quattro is a must get!

Suggested Improvements

Suspension and F/R weight distribution ratio -- probably reduce front overhang too for better steering response.

In praise of the Audi A4

Written by: Darrell on 11/22/2005

Vehicle

2005 Audi A4 3.0 Avant quattro AWD 4dr Wagon (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I love nearly everything about by 2005 Audi A4 Avant. Although I've only driven it 5000 miles so far, I haven't had a single problem with it and the fun-to-drive factor is nearly off the scale. One quibble: I find the red numerals in the dash display hard to read. I'd vote for green instead. I'm averaging about 21 mpg around town -- not bad for a 255hp V-6. One caution: even in the Avant (wagon) version, cargo space is limited. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest) I give the Audi A4 Avant quattro 3.0 a 9.5.

Favorite Features

Quiet, comfortable ride, great roadholding (especially in corners). The XM satellite radio is a great option, especially on long trips.

Suggested Improvements

Stretch the wheelbase a little to add rear seat and cargo room. Get rid of the red numbers in the dash display; too hard to read.
