Hard starting

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

Review

Since September of '06, this car has been returned to the dealer for a total of approximately 6 weeks to try to fix a serious mechanical problem - namely, extremely hard starting in cold weather. Based on Audi's suggestions, a number of the car's components, including the coils and exhaust valves, have been replaced, but the problem has been neither identified or fixed. (The car has currently been at the dealer for almost 4 weeks with no progress.)

Favorite Features

The all-wheel drive system is terrific in bad weather. The front seats are extremely comfortable and supportive.

Suggested Improvements

The switches for the front-seat heaters should be illuminated, so that the settings can be more easily seen.

Surprisingly satisfied Audi

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

Review

Just got an A4 2.0T 6MT as my 2nd car due to its attractive lease deal. I wasn't an Audi fan & never like quattro or FWD cars. My previous driving expriences on 1st Gen S4 was so-so only. I was always thought of getting a BMW 3 series as my daily. After I owned this A4 for a few weeks, I fell in love with the new 07 A4. Its suspension is so composed, even with the base 16" wheel/tire setup, the suspension setting is firm yet comfortable. Handling is neutral to very minimal understeer. Overall experience is very good, on par with the last 3 series I drove. The 6MT shifts better than any BMW, period. Now, with $100 lower on monthly payment. I totally forget about the BMW and I'm loving it.

Favorite Features

6 speed manual trans. Who needs CVT or Tiptronic? 25-30 Actual MPG! Very good stock suspension settings. Factory stereo sounds very good! All the buttons inside are nice to touch.

Suggested Improvements

Smaller steering wheel. The volume control on the steering wheel should be placed on left side and maybe a MUTE button on the steering wheel would be nice. Just a bit more power would never hurt. Xenon lights made standard. More storage space for rear passengers will be great.

2007 Audi A4 - Impressive!

Written by: Dan on 02/25/2007

Vehicle

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

Review

This is my first Audi and so far I'm very pleased. The overall muscular look of the exterior and refined interior was what attracted me. The turbo engine has plenty of power especially in "s" mode. Interior controls are well laid out and the dual climate control works exceptionally well - very cold A/C. The ride is rather quiet and wind noise is relatively unnoticeable. Fuel economy is a bit less than advertised. I do mostly highway driving at 60-70 mph and I have been getting 30 mpg versus 32 mpg advertised. Overall, I'm very pleased with the value and quality of this car!

Favorite Features

"S" mode, overall performance, walnut wood Trim, 17" wheels/rims, red lighting on all displays and 18.5 gallon gas tank!

Suggested Improvements

More legroom for the driver, larger storage in the center armrest, rear A/C vents and MP3 capability standard.

Review

My new 2007 A4 already been the shop 3 times. Need a new engine @ 2200 miles. Very unreliable machine. Very unhappy customer. Would not buy Audi again. Idle rough at morning start. Dealer said it is normal for all 2.0T.

Favorite Features

AWD is awesome. Nothing else.

Balanced Comfort

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

Review

This is my first Audi. I always had an impression of Audi being a “softer” BMW, and all in all I think I was correct. After having owned many performance cars I was looking for something more comfortable for my long drives so I decided to check out Audi. This is definitely a comfortable car. You get a fair amount of luxury, good performance, great gas mileage, and a beautiful car inside and out for the money; all without the unwanted “image” the BMW provides, which frankly I got tired of. If you want a more performance oriented car the 3-series is cream of the crop; however, if you want a more compliant German made car the A4 is a great car for less money.

Favorite Features

Comfortable seats and driving position, good engine power for a 4 cylinder, good number of easy modifications on the market (chip, suspension) good stock stereo, good sized trunk, great highway cruiser, great looking elegant style inside and out, good gas mileage, good value for the money.

Suggested Improvements

Clutch is a fairly long throw with high engagement. Shifter can be a bit "notchy". Engine is fairly loud and a bit rough around town - smooth on the highway. Get the 6 cyl if you want a smoother drivetrain. Climate control has a mind of its own. Could have better weight distribution and handling.

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

Review

This is my first sedan. I never thought I'd get one, but I truly like my Audi. Going from a V6 engine has been my only real adjustment. The lag still bothers me a bit, but once you pick up speed, wow! The car really moves. I had considered a BMW, but Audi had a better deal, and I am very pleased with my car. It's a classy car.

Favorite Features

I love the interior. It's really first rate. The brakes are tops.

Suggested Improvements

Armrest gets in the way of the cupholder. Try to improve the lag.

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

Review

This is my 8th leased Audi. Love the brand. The 3.2 Cab is a great car to drive. I've had Porsche and BMW convertibles and nothing can compare to the amazing roof this Audi has. It's canvas, but virtually silent even when driving at 80 mph. I don't know how the engineers did it, but wind noise is kept at a minimum. Handling is much better than the old cabs. It seems stiffer and the turn-in is quicker. Brakes are awesome and inspire confidence. Got it in Alpaka Beige, cream interior and tan room. It's a very nice looking car, even with the new Audi gap-mouth grille. You get used to that fairly quickly. I highly recommend the 3.2.

Favorite Features

The sweet, sweet engine is my favorite feature. It makes the most beautiful sounds, especially with the top down. The paddle shifters are fun when doing spirited driving. The car tracks with accuracy. Sport suspension is an inexpensive option that's worth it.

Suggested Improvements

The car is small inside. Very small. No back seat room. Overall, the interior bits and switch gear seem cheaper than the A6. At this pricepoint I expected more from the interior. The leather is already wrinkled in the driver's seat. The nav makes mistakes. The stereo (non-Bose) is really bad.

Tempest In A Tea Cup

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

Review

Being a previous owner of a Passat, I was not particularly excited about taking delivery of this car. I was a BMW zealot (and still have a late model bimmer parked next to the Audi) but got excited, very excited about driving this car! The Quattro is a godsend - much better than X-drive. The fit and finish is superb. The creature comforts well matched. This car is a winner. Its dichotomous nature is aptly suited to both the executive who thinks he could drive in a rally and to the retiree who likes a sport tuned suspension with the confidence of knowing they have all-wheel ability. One will not be disappointed with this car. Enjoy and cheers.

Favorite Features

Simply Quattro!

Suggested Improvements

Match BMW's maintenance plan - 3 years; wiper blades to oil changes are free and you've got a sure winner.

A4 Avant = Awesome Ride

Written by: Billster on 01/31/2007

Vehicle

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

Review

My second A4 Avant and it is better than my 2003 was. Faster, better handling, great looking both inside and out. Better mileage and bang for your buck than any Benz or BMW out there. For $40k with most of the upgrades, this baby rocks. Black and beige is a babe magnet.

Favorite Features

Performance, luxurious interior, safety ratings and value compared to similar classed wagons.

Suggested Improvements

Reduce the slight hesitation from takeoffs. Improve rear visibility.

Audi A4 2T sedan

Written by: KGD on 01/25/2007

Vehicle

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

Review

I haven't owned this vehicle long enough (purchased 1/2007) to give a complete review. I was pleasantly surprised at the power and response from such a small engine. I find myself wondering why everyone else is driving so slow on the highway. At slower speeds and around corners, the handling is very quick with very little lean.The manual shifting with the 2T package takes some getting used to and, frankly, some practice. The suspension is somewhat stiff but I think you'd have to agree that it is race oriented. The interior is comfortable and "no nonsense". Everything is there and nicely organized around the driver. I personally liked the gauge positioning and control positioning.

Favorite Features

I personally liked the engine/transmission performance. Very quick and nimble for a 4 cylinder. I felt like I was driving a road racer.
