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

Review

What other vehicle in this class offers luxury, performance, safety, cachet, fuel economy, and quality at the price of an A4? BMW arguably makes a superior car, but the value is not there (and how will you know which one is yours in the parking lot?). M-B lacks quality. The Japanese makes don't offer the driving experience of the Germans, and the Americans are sans cachet. To me, the A4 fills a neat niche left by the others with an incredible drivetrain, legendary ergonomics, earth- and wallet-saving fuel economy, IIHS safety cred, and lease deals galore, it's a no-brainer. Drive everything else first.

Favorite Features

Steering, confidence at high speeds, consistency in every button/switch/dial, turn signals (don't lock- just tap for a lane change!), slick manual, perfect seat positioning, getting 25 MPG after spirited driving, trunk depth.

Suggested Improvements

Rear seat room a bit snug, center armrest fights for space w/ cupholder and parking brake, first 600 RPMs chug, signature "single frame" grille in the pics marred by U.S. license plate

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

Review

Second A4 I've owned and it keeps getting better and better. Love the design, the engine, the interior. Still notice the turbo lag but not as pronounced as my 05 A4 1.8L. The car will get up and move when asked and is very responsive, and I love to hear the growl of the engine. Until audi does something really bad to these cars I'll always buy another audi. Will always recommend audi before other luxury cars also.

Favorite Features

Interior quality, sound system is quality, the backlite on everything at nite is cool, one-touch sunroof knob, MP3 hook-up.

Suggested Improvements

Get rid of the turbo lag, rear air/heat vents, standard tint glass.

Review

When I bought my 1.8T AWD, dealer insisted it would last over 100k with no problem. As soon as mine went off the warranty it several major failures: headlight switch (common in all Audis), tensioner gasket (huge oil leak demanding entire engine disassembly), instrument panel (dead horizontal lines), and 2 secondary air pump failures. Not to mention the quarterly visits to the dealer while the car was still before 30k to fix check engine light (leaking hoses). This is my last German car. Driving it was lots of fun but I can't deal with thousands of dollars in repairs and repeat visits to the $120-an-hour labor dealer. Buy at your own risk - and read the forums before you do!

Favorite Features

Superior handling, acceleration, very good sound system.

Suggested Improvements

Improve quality both mechanical, electric and electronic. The German engineering is not so hot anymore, the car is not very reliable and not worth the money unless of course you plan to get rid of it before it hits the warranty expiration.

Review

I have had my A4 for a month and it handles any curve in any condition. The all-wheel drive is great. I upgraded to the sport suspension and it really makes the ride more firm so make sure that you really want that as the regular suspension is already pretty good and sometimes I think I would not mind a little softer ride although it does allow you to take a corner at 75 and makes it feel like 25. The inside is way better then the BMW or Acura. Great car overall with a great style all its own. If you go to the snow this car is great, I have already taken it to tahoe and while others were putting on chains I just kept on driving.

Favorite Features

Stereo, inside style, fat tires, interior lighting.

Suggested Improvements

A little more leg room for drivers right leg. Seat belt warning needs to go away after you are warned. It shifts out of first gear too soon.

Amazing car

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

Review

I have now owned my 6th Audi (4th A4) and I will say for sure, Audi has come back to be the overall segment leader in the compact luxury car segment for the total package. I have already put over 5K miles on the car without a hitch, just got the first scheduled service for free. Even being front drive this car handles extremely well and the performance is much greater than expected for a 4 cylinder, thanks to direct injection. The "base" stereo system rocks as well as the Bose stereo from previous A4s. Heated seats aren't really necessary in Arizona but have come in handy on a few cool nights. Overall fit and finish is unmatched by any other cars in class

Favorite Features

Build quality, looks, stereo, handling, gas mileage.

Suggested Improvements

Standard satellite radio (ha ha). Not much to improve upon.

Best car for the money!

Review

I bought this car for my daughter, who previously had a Volvo S40 and a Volvo S60. Both are very good, safe cars but lack any sense of excitement. I drive a Porsche and when it was in for service I was given an A4 as a loaner and loved it. Tight as a drum, well-balanced, great handling, outstanding gas mileage and really fun to drive (I grab it whenever I can!). Excellent build quality, great exterior design and an interior way beyond anything in its price class. Buy it!

New Audi Owner

2007 Audi A4 3.2 quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (3.1L 6cyl 6A)

Review

After a bad experience with my 2006 BMW and the run flat tires (my third BMW), I researched many cars to see what would be the BMW's replacement. When I drove the Audi A4 3.2 quattro, I knew I would never go back to BMW. The car handles better, better ride, quiet, large trunk, great storage and many useful features. It's an all around awesome car and I'm looking forward to many years of driving enjoyment.

Favorite Features

Driver's seat and access to console, large trunk, comfort and great handling, and AWD.

Suggested Improvements

Include MP3 connection, daytime driving lights, and flat tire warning.

Review

I love driving this car. It has a great feel and handles very well on back country roads.

Favorite Features

My favorite features are as follows: 1. The “sport” feature on the transmissions. 2. The red interior lighting on the dash and center console. 3. It’s a babe magnet.

Suggested Improvements

Nothing, this car is hot.

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

Review

I have had this car for 4 months and every day I seem to find a new reason to like it better than the day before. It is a beautifully refined vehicle and the interior along with the convertible top is a marvel. The engine is smooth although maybe a little noisy and the 6-speed auto transmission is very refined. I wish the gas mileage were a little better, but that is the compromise to have Quattro, I guess. I have pretty much every available option and I think this is the reason the car is such a marvel... nothing to do but drive and enjoy.

Favorite Features

The Nav and comfort features are exceptional. Basically, insert the key and everything is automatic. I didn't think this would be so impressive until I got an A4 sedan as a loaner during normal 5000 mile service. Same engine and drive but a different driving experience. Bluetooth is also great.

Suggested Improvements

Leather seats should be all leather and better quality. Bottom cushion shows wrinkles. Its a bit of a reach to get the shoulder belt, but I can't think of a better alternative that doesn't restrict back seat access.
