The A4's newly redesigned chassis is highly capable and impressively stiff, providing an excellent ride/handling tradeoff. Acceleration is midpack at best due to the A4's heft. Very effective brakes.
Ride quality is well-controlled and compliant. Rear legroom substantially improved over previous-generation A4.
The cabin is first-rate and laid out intuitively. MMI is still good but beginning to cede ground to newer systems from Lexus and BMW.
Sharp, new styling and a high-quality interior. The A4 sets the standard for interior execution among entry-level sport sedans.
Comfortable
It's fundamentally well-equipped and the list of optional features is long and comprehensive.
Luxurious
Plenty of creature comforts.
High Performer
Braking and handling are near the top of its class, although acceleration could be better.
