2007 Audi A4 2.0T 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

Review

This is my second A4 and I fell in love all over again. Just like I did when I purchased my first Audi in 2002. These cars are made to last and are only a few dollars more than a loaded-up Camry! I chose this time to forgo Quattro as my previous A4 Quattro "ate tires for breakfast." I'm very happy with the FrontTrack. The 2.0 turbo is almost as fast as my 2002 3.0 and gets MUCH better fuel milage: 32 hwy and 28/29 city. I would reccommend Audi to anyone seeking a safe, efficient, quality auto that provides the driver with the cachet of a German luxury make without breaking the bank!

Favorite Features

Fuel economy; quality interior; base stereo is fine; unmatched fit and finish; full sized spare and wheel-in case you run up on a curb and scratch one like I did; Audi dealers treat you with difference.

Suggested Improvements

Very high clutch, no heel and toe shifting on Audi; please get rid of the ridiculous climate control buttons! I hate that the fan roars to full (loud) speed when you increase the temp and I hate repeatedly reseting to economy. Should have knobs, keep it simple. Autoheadlamps should be standard.

Exceeds expectations

Review

The turbo 4 is plenty with the manual transmission, and I average 31 mpg in mostly highway travel. Handles great. No problems. Feels solid. Over 6000 miles so far.

Favorite Features

AWD is mandatory for me in the snowbelt. MPG in a car not purchased to be economical. Style, handling. Not boring.

Suggested Improvements

Stereo needs WMA compatability.

Fantastic Ride

2007 Audi A4 2.0T quattro 2dr Convertible AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

Review

Only have 2000 miles in 3 months. Visited the dealer on a whim after checking out Saab and VW Eos. VW dealer had a used A4 on the lot. Big mistake. For about the same money as an Eos , I was able to lease a new A4 with Quattro. I feel the value of this car with all its luxury and fit n finish puts all others to shame in this class. It is a second car, so it doesn't get its fair share of outdoor time. I can't keep my eyes off it. It turns heads on the road as well. The Alpaca Beige is really unique and looks great with the aluminum trim. Didn't get all bells and whistles since inventory was limited. Stereo just ok. Convenience pkg is great as are 18" wheels. Just put the top down and grin!

Favorite Features

Exhaust note is primal. Top operation is clean and hides neatly. Fairly good trunk space. Rear seat tight, but better than Saab and BMW. Kids will manage. 6 speed auto is flawless. Some turbo lag, but quattro helps keep wheels from spinning. Fairly quiet with top up. Great all-weather fun car.

Suggested Improvements

To many separate options available. Got convenience pkg, but couldn't find Bose/Sirius unit in stock. This is the 21st century. MP3 dock should be standard in car of this class. Seat belts hard to reach. Lots of cowl shake over bumps. Some road noise creeps in with top up, but hey, it is a cabrio.

Replaced the SUV ;-)

Review

After driving an ML320 for the past eight years, it was a big decision to return to a sedan. We looked at, and drove, many of the SUVs and cross over vehicles but weren't happy with the fuel economy (nor the cost) so we started driving sedans. We bought the A4 because of its proven AWD system in the NE winters. We have 9000 miles on it so far and it's been great. We average 28 mpg, the driving is great fun and it's very responsive on curves, etc. The quallity of engineering is impressive and the service (for the 5k oil change) quick and friendly. Great little car!

Favorite Features

Road handling, sound system and sport-setting on the transmission.

Suggested Improvements

Turn off the seat-belt warning beeps - what an annoyance!

First German Made car

Written by: phosphateb on 10/28/2007

Vehicle

2007 Audi A4 2.0T 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

Review

Bought my first German made car. Almost bought a ford fusion but when I really sat down and saw the better engineering, beefier parts, and the technology on this vehicle, the difference easily went away from the v6 opponent. All I can say is I got 36 mpg at 65 mph. 32 driving slow ~45 mph in stop and go traffic around town. Vehicle kicks with the cvt which you can make drive like a regular transmission, but that burns more fuel and well you don't need it.

Favorite Features

I find out something new on this vehicle everyday. Carlighter in the trunk, door hinges that are cast not stamped. Turbo that really pushes the fuel economy up and gives a super boost of power from 50 mph to 135 within a few seconds on the highway. Too scared to redline it to see how fast it goes!

Suggested Improvements

The new lights are on the 08 model but am okay with the old bulb technology. Stupid computer shows miles till empty. i want how many mpg I am getting instead of calculating at the gas pump. Easy software fix and may be on the a6? That is the only thing I don't like.

The Little Car That Could...

Written by: sagarian9 on 10/03/2007

Vehicle

2007 Audi A4 2.0T 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

Review

After months of research, I dismissed the following cars: Saab 9-3, Volvo S40, Infiniti G35, Acura TSX. It came down to the Acura TL and the A4. I bought the A4 because of the ride and I got it for $3K less than the TL. The car is fast, but watch out for turbo lag from a standing start. The quality of build is terrific. I'm getting 30 mpg with 70% hwy driving. The trunk is surprisingly spacious, but a little tight for the driver's right leg. Get the premium package (with leather seats). Great fun all around!

Favorite Features

Gripping cup holders. Night cabin lighting. Auto 'sport' mode. Solid feel of the car. Steering wheel feel.

Suggested Improvements

Get rid of seat belt 'ding'. Redesign arm rest so it doesn't encroach on the hand brake. Have 'mute' control on steering wheel. Make auto headlamps standard. More room for driver's right leg. Redesign rear view - it looks like a Civic from the back!

I love my Audi!

2007 Audi A4 2.0T Avant quattro 4dr Wagon AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

Review

Have had a number of German autos, our other car is a Porsche C4S and I bought the Audi as a utility vehicle and so far we are extremely pleased with the quality and performance of the car. Have also had BMWs in the past, the Audi is equal or better in all aspects and would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a wagon for the utility benefit but still wants the style and luxury of a great German car!

Favorite Features

Everything!

Suggested Improvements

None so far.

An amazing car to drive!

Review

I love my new Audi. It is really fun to drive and very comfortable. I also feel that it is a very safe vehicle for me and my family. I love the in-dash 6 disk changer and the body style of it. When I drive past people they know that the looks impressive.

Favorite Features

I love the tiptronic transmission and the sport feature to provide more torque and power.

Suggested Improvements

The only down side to it would be the turbo lag and the premium gas that it takes. Other than that I love it!!

You Get What You Pay For

Written by: KP on 08/30/2007

Vehicle

2007 Audi A4 2.0T quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

Review

I shopped all the brands in this price point, thought the BMW was too small and cramped, thought the Lexus was just too boring, and the MB a little too 'old'. I like the ride, handling, mpg, price and stereo in this car. The price came in under all the competition and the complementary maintenance was very nice. However, I have not been able to enjoy it since out of the first 39 days of ownership, it's been in the shop for 23 days. I don't know if I got a lemon, or this is indicative of Audi quality. Either way, I do not recommend this car and I won't be buying from Audi again for a long long time.

Favorite Features

Almost 600 miles to the tank if you baby it on the hwy, excellent all weather handling, MP3 audio system has great overall sound and very good bass response, 6 heating levels for heated seats, full size spare with matching rim, huge trunk with folding seats, small medical kit standard.

Suggested Improvements

Driver and passenger power seats should be standard at this price point, enough with the damned beeping to put your seat belt on, should not have to choose b/t arm rest or second cup holder - very poor planning there. Only two power points for d/c accessories are not enough.

What I think of my A4

Written by: Farid Afshar on 08/17/2007

Vehicle

2007 Audi A4 2.0T quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

Review

This is one great car. I love how agile it is. Handling is superb and it is a pleasure to drive the car. This car personifies how a true German sports sedan is supposed to feel and ride. The cabin is beautifully designed and the exterior is stylish and curves are eye catching. The mileage I get from this car is phenomenal. The only two things I would like see improved are, the turbo lag and leg area is slightly tight where a bit of wider floor would increase the comfort.

Favorite Features

Ride, handling, design and style.

Suggested Improvements

Improve the current little turbo lag and widen the leg room
