Very Pleased Overall

Review

I opted to purchase the A4 after comparing with the BMW 3 series (325) after test driving both and am still very pleased with my choice. The suspension is very tight providing a fun yet comfortable drive and the acceleration is satisfactory due to the turbo. I would love more power, but this is something you must pay for, and for the price, I feel very satisfied. Like other reviewers, I have had the issue of burning through oil, going nearly dry between changes and the issue of squeaky brakes also reported. I also think that the internal dash readouts and controls both aesthetically and ergonomically could use improvement, even compared to VW. Overall, I still love the car.

Favorite Features

The handling and driveability. Very fun to drive with the manual transmission. External design. Fuel economy is excellent.

Suggested Improvements

Dash and readout design. Control knobs for sound system and a/c control are very small and don't feel well placed. The issues regarding oil and squeaking brakes will hopefully be resolved in future models.

Bad 2.0 FSI Motor

Review

Owning an Audi has its highs and lows just as any other make out on the road. I have had some fun with my 2007 A4, it is very comfortable for all types of driving. Unfortunately, the FSI motors that Audi drops in these cars are garbage. Power is fine, handeling is impeccable, solid running motor, but HUGE OIL ISSUES. In most of the A4's FSI motor, the rings around the pistons are bad causing oil to burn rapidly right out of your exhaust. Just look at your tailpipes and you will see what I'm talking about. If you look at all the other Audi vehicles, only the A4 has this problem. If you are changing your oil every 1500-2000 miles contact Audi USA for your Engine Replacement.

Favorite Features

The front grill is very stylish and gives the front end such an aggressive appearance. The craftsmanship of the interior is flawless, and the audio is uplifting.

Awesome Minus

Review

I just got the car about 5 months ago. It's been great and everything, it drives great. The engine is kind of noisy... The muffler tips get black quickly no clue why.. Mine is automatic. It's fun to drive comfortable and everything. When coming to a stop and it's about to downshift from 3rd to 2nd the car shakes. Also turbo lag at start. Wish it had just a little bit more power. But it's enough.

Favorite Features

Good sound system. Good handling.

Suggested Improvements

Make the engine more quiet. Add more power. The seat belt beeping noise is really annoying, I have to keep telling people to put it on.

2007 A4 Quattro 2.0-Fantastic

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

Review

Just bought a 2007 A4 Quattro 2.0 used with 18K miles in excellent condition. The car performs like no other car I have had. First, handling & ride are excellent. Fuel economy has been 22 MPG on short trips and around 30 on longer trips. The seats (both leather and power) are very comfy and the interior is very well assembled. Only complaint is the short leg room in the rear seats, but since the kids are no longer at home, it will only be used occasionally. (HINT: If you raise the front seat slightly, you can move the seat forward enough to allow more space for rear leg room. There are 2 trip computers,which were hard to use, but after reading the manual it makes sense. (See below.)

Favorite Features

The 2 trip computers - I use one for current fill-up and other as a cumulative average and watch how road conditions affect the gas mileage.The auto folding mirrors are great for car washes. Self leveling lights, auto wipers and lights work superbly. Bluetooth phone setup on (Blackberry) was easy.

Suggested Improvements

Rear leg room is short. I was missing a key when I got the car and it takes a week or so to order one and a day or so to get the key activated at a dealer, which is the only way you can do it - ~$40. I was also missing a manual BUT it sure made things easier to understand!

Couldn't choose any better

2007 Audi A4 2.0T 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

Review

I have been wanting the car for a while and had the hardtop A4, at the end of the lease nothing sounded better and I was right. Right after driving out of the dealership with 9 miles on the odometer I got plenty of looks on the street. The car, just like any Audi, drives beautifully, their windblocker assures your perfect hair day isn't ruined. I love how fast the top closes and how little of my own work it takes to open/close it, just a touch of my finger. This car also does look great with the top up which is not a common thing for convertibles in today's market.

Favorite Features

The build quality, the interior of course, nothing beats Audi with this. I love the automatic top and the feel I have while driving, I feel like a royal person. :)

Suggested Improvements

I wish Audi made the top open/close button the way that you do not have to hold it and wait for it to close. The front tires get dirty quick as the car is front wheel drive. Also the visibility while the top is closed is really bad when passing other cars.

Power Window Controls and Other Stuff

Written by: lilicece on 05/19/2009

Vehicle

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

Review

I'm constantly having to fool with power window controls. So sensitive it either goes all the way down or all the way up hard to get it right where you want it. Arm rest design is poor and blocks access to cup holders and hand break. Eats oil like there is no tomorrow. Performance is great. Nearest dealer 1 hour away which is a drag.

Favorite Features

Performance, design, interior. Audio system.

Suggested Improvements

Arm rest and cup holders. Tight back seat. Always thirsty for oil. I-Pod connection. Holder for cell phone instead of ash tray.

Great car but ...squeaky brakes?

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

Review

Bought my first pre-owned Audi after owning Lexus IS-looking for better mileage. Brakes squeak at low speeds - had them cleaned to remove carbon build- up but week later same problem. Haven't called the dealer back - anyone else have this problem?

Favorite Features

Handling is great!! Love the stereo, satellite radio - mileage better than Lexus IS.

Suggested Improvements

Same as other comments, armrest vs. cup holder - but way better than cup holder in Lexus! Also would like mileage computed rather than having to do it manually.

Burning Oil

Written by: ashou on 04/01/2009

Vehicle

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

Review

I have to take my car in every 1500 to 2000 miles to have oil put in because the car is burning the oil so fast. This is my 3rd Audi and I purchased this one under the assumption it would be like my others, oil change every 10,000 miles, I was wrong. The dealership keeps telling me this is normal and I don't believe them. I've contacted a lawyer because I want my car fixed before it goes out of warranty and find myself needing to replace a $10,000 engine.

Best Car I've Owned

Written by: Mike Ellis on 01/13/2009

Vehicle

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

Review

I recently bought an 07 A4 Quattro after comparing several other brands. The build quality, gas mileage and AWD were a no brainer. The car is quiet, fuel efficient and fast! The turbo four is a great engine.

Favorite Features

Other than the styling, I love the AWD. The Quattro drivetrain makes getting around in the snow very easy.

Suggested Improvements

Fix the cup holder / arm rest problem. Other than that, nothing.

Solid performer

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

Review

It was a toss up between the A4 and BMW 3 series. I went with A4 as the interior is superior (in my opinion). So far, no regrets. Good power, handling and fuel economy. All said, I would buy another Audi without hesitation.

Favorite Features

Interior quality and the AWD system are second to none.

Suggested Improvements

The wipers tend to freeze up once in a while. No connection for mp3/iPhone. The cupholders are in an awkward position and interfere with shifting. The AC plug in for the phone charger interferes with the 2nd cupholder and when down, the armrest interferes with the par
