I have been an Audi driver for years, with a recent interruption, but now I'm back. My new 1.8L Turbo CVT Cabriolet is a sporty, responsive, yet elegant vehicle that is an attention-getter everywhere we go. Very fun to drive.

Best in Class

The Avant 3.0L with quattro and Tiptronic is the best A4 and the best car in its class. Nice looking, top quality materials powerful enough, excellent handling and enough trunk for a family of three put this car in front of the competition. With 3000 miles already on board the short term reliability is outstanding, not a single problem. Also, I have high expectations for the long term, will see. Fuel consumption is going down, probably I have to wait 2000 miles more for the final data, but now is 20city/30highway.

A fun car to drive...

I've had this car for the past month and I love every drive I take. The CVT transmission is so smooth it's a little disconcerting at first. The sport mode is a much peppier ride and the 6 speed tiptronic is smooth and powerful. Excellent trunk space with neat extra features such as cargo-net hold-downs. The Premium Package really rounds out the comfort with leather seats and power sunroof. The stock sound system is plenty powerful and sounds great, with another nice feature; when you turn on the system it can default to a preset volume, so you'll never be blasted out of your seat from playing loud music on the way home from the night before...

Audi is worth it

My in-laws leased this car new and we bought out their lease after 3 years for a great price. I have owned 3 Hondas and a BMW 3 series previously, and this A4 is my favorite. Steering and handling are precise, AWD has been top notch in even heavy snow and the turbo 4-cyl provides plenty of power when you need it, but good fuel economy the rest of the time. My in- laws did have the transmission replaced under warranty, and I've had a coolant flange and a window regulator replaced under warranty. German cars can be like that, but the dealer/repair experience is first rate and makes up for the inconvenience. Both times I had the car back the same day. Cost/benefit is totally worth it.

We traded an Audi for a Mercedes and kept it 10 years but we had to go back to Audi as it was the best automobile that we had ever owned. The dealer is top notch, the new car is even better.
