Great Convertible

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

Review

I selected the wood trim instead of the aluminum. The car is very fun to drive, and Quattro is amazing. The fact that you can get it nicely equipped at about 46k is pretty nice too. I had the Premium and Convenience Packages, along with the Bose sound system. No MMI or Bluetooth. However, Bluetooth is pointless in a convertible if you have the top down. The wind deflector and heated seats are invaluable and they help you drive the car a lot later into the year. Digital climate control is standard, a nice touch over BMW or Mercedes. The CD player is an in-dash 6 disc. The changer moves to the glovebox if you get MMI. It also plays MP3 discs, which is handy.

Favorite Features

The wind deflector, the Bose audio system, heated seats, digital climate control, and of course the fact that it is a convertible. AND THE SOUND OF THE ENGINE! Transmission is very smooth, but can be sporty as well.

Suggested Improvements

Fix the headlight washers! The spray is way too powerful. If the seats are far up, the seatbelt is a little hard to reach. An iPod adapter should be standard, not optional. I wish the MMI price was a little less. Minor hitches.

I am Surprised!!!

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

Review

I recently bought the A4 2.0T CVT; previously I had an A4 2001, 2.8 V6. I liked that car a lot, but this new one is more powerful. Even though is 4 cyl, it has 10 HP more than my previous V6. Exterior and interior design is awesome. I got 6 years 100000 miles of warranty (for certified cars only), so I can drive non-stop and have fun. The only thing that my old car has the advantage over the new one is a silent engine noise, I believe it because of the turbo. I like more silent powerful engines, but otherwise everything is just excellent! AAA+++

Favorite Features

Redesigned new interior and exterior. Very fuel efficient. CVT impressed me, too. Interior is larger than previous.

Suggested Improvements

Make a silent smooth engine. 2.0T to me sounds like RS4 engine.

Review

I've owned three VWs before this and so far I'm in love with the A4. I miss the power off the line from the VR6 engine in the VW's I drove, but this is my first turbo and part of it is a personal adjustment. Would I purchase one again, if I had the choice? Yes. I love the way it handles, the ergonomics and interior design are excellent, and the build quality is top notch. I only wish that I had an S4 or an RS4. It leaves me with something to wish for, but that's not a bad thing.

Favorite Features

Handling (suspension). Build quality. Ergonomics. Refinement.

Suggested Improvements

Improve iPod connectivity. Improve warranty/maintenance coverage rather than degrade it (they claim they have saved 60%. This will likely hurt them in the long run).

The Best Kept Secret In The Auto World

Written by: DamonH on 06/30/2007

Vehicle

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

Review

The A4 can justify the price and gives the owner a sense of exclusivity. I wanted a sensible economy car, and that's exactly what I got. It's not overly fun to drive, doesn't have drop-dead good looks, but it is reliable, has excellent fuel economy, and the fit and finish set the standard. The Audi is an all around good car, and I have never second-guessed myself for purchasing one.

Favorite Features

All wheel drive inspires confidence. I used to sweat bullets when the rain started to fall but not anymore. The fuel economy is great for a turbo-charged vehicle. The fit and finish are incredible. I have yet to see another that looks so well made inside and out at such a great value

Suggested Improvements

Get rid of the arm rest. It's too close to the shifter and covers the cup holders. Turbo lag is awful. Maximum torque should be at a lower RPM. It takes forever to get the car up to speed. Make the back seat larger. Make Bose standard. The stock stereo is terrible.

Another 3.2L New Engine Failure

Written by: Ow-ee on 05/28/2007

Vehicle

2007 Audi A4 3.2 quattro 2dr Convertible AWD (3.1L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Couldn't help but notice the earlier review about a new engine failure. I brought my 2007 3.2 Cabriolet in for it's 5000 mile service, and when a new engine noise appeared immediately thereafter on the passenger side, Audi replaced the engine, seemingly knowing what the problem was right away. One of the cylinders had an obvious machining defect that the service department kindly showed me. Audi should not saddle the consumer with this enormous market devaluation when an obvious quality control issue like this arises. If you're buying an Audi like I did, thinking I was smarter than all the other people who have nightmare stories to tell, perhaps think again.

Favorite Features

Fit and finish are beautiful. Easy driving performance vehicle.

Review

After 9 years and 150K miles (8 1/2 years and 142K miles with nothing but routine maintenance) it was time to retire my 98 A4 2.8. Audi, BMW, Acura, Lexus and Infiniti were all on my list to consider. The Audi turned out to be the best all-around vehicle and as I mentioned has proven to be ultra-reliable at least for me. I love the 3.2's growl and pick-up.

Favorite Features

The best interior in its class, even if I can still see a resemblance to my 98's. Quattro - if you live in the snowbelt you can do amazing things. I have gone up hills not realizing how bad they were until I passed SUVs off that couldn't get any further up.

Suggested Improvements

Nav system is not up to snuff. Route guidance always tries to steer you back to the route you were just on. Trust me, when you're stuck on the NJ turnpike, you want to find an alternate route and this system keeps trying to steer you back. Urrrgghh.

I LOVE THIS CAR!

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

Review

I recently purchased a 2007 Audi A4 2.0T six speed with the sport package. This car is simply awesome!! There is virtually no turbo lag. The acceleration is simply breathtaking. It is hard to believe that this car has only has 200 hp. It feels more like 250 hp. The six speed will do 0-60 in 6.5 secs (but feels even faster when the temp outside is between 40 -50 degrees - turbos like cool weather). The passing acceleration is equally impressive. Just drop down a gear and whoosh, the turbo blasts the car forward leaving other cars in your wake. I am also impressed with the handling capabilities of the A4. Many of the components of the sport suspension are borrowed from the S4 and it shows.

Favorite Features

Gear box!

Suggested Improvements

More leg room for rear passengers.

German Engineering

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

Review

Words alone cannot describe the artwork this car is. From the moment you sit in the car you feel comfort and to the point of making turns at 60 mph you still feel the ground which gives you believe in the car you trust it in the most severe time, and it doesn't let you down. 4 cylinder engine, great on gas especially now that will hit $4 a gallon, and does not compromise power. 200 hp is quite enough. The interior, as always, high quality.

Favorite Features

Quattro. German. High quality. State of the art engine. Stylish. Does not need to be "hooked-up", it is already.

Suggested Improvements

More tech gadgets options available at affordable prices.

Review

This is a great car, but it does have a few problems. The biggest problem so far is the fuel economy, granted I live in NYC, but 230 miles to the tank still seems like a bit much for a manual transmission being carefully driven. Now the fun part, at 4,953 the check engine light came on and as I soon found out, the oxygen sensor was broken. This would have to be the first time I have ever had anything break at 5,000 miles, and needless to say I was not pleased. Still pretty happy with the car though, an overall pleasant drive.

Favorite Features

Bluetooth, SD card MP3 player, 4 wheel drive.

Suggested Improvements

Better paint, it scratches way too easily.

Audacious Audi!

Written by: Rick on 04/27/2007

Vehicle

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

Review

Did my research... Audi A4 wins in most categories: fun to drive yet economical; great design aspects, but not too cutting-edge; very comfortable ride, and of course, excellent German engineering throughout. It's damn good looking, too!

Favorite Features

Interior/exterior design elements; comfortable seating; sound system; smooth ride.

Suggested Improvements

iPod interface and navigation system is tough to get used to and not very intuitive.
