Awesome Audi Avant Manual 6
My 2006 Avant 3.2 manual has the premium, s-line, cold and titanium packages. I defected from BMW. This car has great handling with understated looks but still gets stares. The manual shifts crisply and the power through all gears is great. It really pulls through each one when you step on the gas. The only problem so far is an annoying rattle in the dash. Dealer says they charge for labor on rattles after 12k miles. Audi USA says it's covered under warranty. This is the only disappointment on the car. Stereo, Bluetooth are great. I love the dash. The white and red contrast is very sporty and lux.
Best car ever owned
I previously owned an audi but this one takes the cake. I downgraded to a 2003 GTI 20th AE and owned that for 6 months, then realized I really didn't want FWD. I went from AWD to FWD and now back to AWD and I will never go back to anything less. The fact that my car is a lot faster than before and rides better than the VW and not to mention looks 100x better. The A4 is a great car for anyone looking for a luxury and sporty vehicle. I am still smiling everytime I drive my car, and you will too.

well worth it!
I love this car! it's a great combination of luxury and performance. With the seven speed auto transmission when you drive in the standard "D" position you can barely feel the car shift gears it's so smooth. Or you can put the shift into "S" mode and the transmission will hold the rpm's much longer, depending on how much you smash the excelorator, sometimes as high as 6,800 rpms. You can really feel the turbo then. Great acceleration. The car has a great stereo, standard with 10 speakers. Very nice interior with great instrument displays. Exterior styling is just unusual enough to get strangers to regularly comment on how they like the car. It has a slight hesitation from dead stop.
Wish it had DSG
I used to drive a Passat V6 sedan FWD with auto transmission, and this Audi A4 is significantly better in all respects, but it should be - considering the 6 years and $10,000 list price difference. Haven't had any quality problems with the car, it feels very solid and dependable. The manual gearbox is a bit of a 'clunker', not exactly the quick light box I remember from a 3-series BMW. After 4000 miles it doesn't show much sign of easing up, and gear changes can be a bit rough. Also the steering is a bit heavy compared with a 3-series, but that could I guess be due to the Quattro 4WD? Overall, a very impressive car with a great engine. Goes well and sips fuel.
Awesome Audi
I have had my 06 A4 3.2 Quattro for a month and have a little over 1300 miles. The car is absolutely a blast to drive. Quiet, powerful, and smooth. Handling is predictable and confidence inspiring. The overall workmanship is top notch. The exterior styling is both classy and sporty. The interior is typically Audi - the best in the industry. The car exudes quality and solidity. It is worth every penny.
Fun in the sun!!!
Excellent Fuel economy with 1.8t Runs the sames numbers as the 3.0 because of the added weight. Beautiful inside and out.
Shoddy interior quality
Initially, I was very happy with my purchase of the Audi A4. With it's AWD, it was the perfect choice for driving in Wisconsin winters. However, four years into my purchase, I am very disappointed because of the shoddy wear of the interior. The glove box has fallen off, and from what I read in Audi forums, this is fairly common and Audi charges big bucks to fix this defect. The leather of the drivers seat has developed cracks. And the hinge on the center console has stopped working. I previously owned a BMW 318ti for 10 years. Year ten, the interior was just as good as the day I purchased it. For the money, I was expecting the same quality. Audi does not deliver. I will return to BMW.
Do Not Trust
Sometimes locks doors when I exit car, even w/ motor running, which should be impossible. Once refused to shift down while passing a car and refused to accelerate in any selected gear except "Drive." Revs would peak at 4k, even with accelerator planted firmly to firewall. Tried every possible position of gear selector and punched the accelerator to downshift during 50 miles of freeway driving, to no avail. After shutdown, no problem. Do not trust this car. Dealer's tech indicates he never heard of such a problem. Dealer is 200 miles distant, and tech doubts problem can be diagnosed, since no warning lights were lit.
Avants are great...Audi must bring the S4/RS4!
Well designed, comfortable, back seat in the older models not as space efficient as it should be for legroom.

Sudden acceleration!!!
I was stopped by a light ready to make a left turn, foot on the brake-car in drive as always. Suddenly the engine started to re to what seemed like the redline. Brakes barely held so I immediately put the car into neutral and stepped on the accelerator to quiet the engine. It worked but I just missed hitting the car in front by about 2 feet. Had it flatbedded to Audi who (even after a technician came) couldn't find anything wrong. If it happened once it will happen again. No carpet issue. I love this car and wish they would have found something. Reported to nhtsa who will investigate. Happen to anyone else? This is a major accident waiting to happen. Be very careful my friends.
Will never own an audi again!!
I purchased this car as a certified pre-owned vehicle at 26000miles thankful I purchased the warranty. In the 1st week check engine light came on. Few weeks later my fuel pump went out. A couple months later, some valves have failed in the engine. A couple months after that-some hose have melted and caused a check engine light.. Then coil pack. Then transmission. Transmisson again. Fuel pump.. again. Oil pump, engine valves. All in a 1.5 yrs. 70,000 miles now. I'm selling this car as soon as I get it back from dealer. Never again! I only drive to and from work on the hwy, scheduled maint always was done, but it was a lemon. No help from dealer, or Audi USA-can't admit there is an issue.
stay away
2006 a4 cabrio s line. this car suck .. its not reliable at all . I have 95000 miles on it and every 2 months something break or stop working . the parts are crazy expensive. the material that the interior is made of are cheap and dont last at all. the car feels cheap all over .. my 2000 bmw with 180000 miles had way way way less problems than the audi and still going strong . I really regret buying audi.

Super car
I really love this car. If you read these people's reviews with their broken down audis, you must understand if you don't take care of your car it will break especially used ones. I get 23 mpg very very low maintenance on the car I couldn't be happier.
Not this one
Noisy, bed road holding, not reliable, you will need a private gas station. All the report are advertisements=lies
Bad audi
Bad Audi the first week. The engine noise sound like a diesel engine. Battery dead after 2 yrs. Misc. Controls and knobs stop working. When top down the driver window rattles. I think I bought a lemon. Brought to the dealer. They said the engine noise was normal. They didn't do nothing with the window.
THE best car I've ever had
The car is so amazing... I blasted a Bimmer from a stoplight the other day! It has the sweetest V6 I've ever driven, and with the manual it really works. quattro has been helpful with the starting of frost in my area of Vermont. The interior is beautiful, and the car itself looks beautiful. The first time I saw it, it was iffy, but now every time I see it, it looks better. I got mine in black over beige leather.
Audi A4 2.0T - Poor Gas Mileage
The gas mileage is worse than a V8 Ford F150 loaded. Ford truck 19 mpg hgwy, Audi A4 16-17 mpg hgwy!! Don't by the CVT, you cannot accelerate smoothly from a stop, it hesitates and then BAM, it lunges, especially on a ramp in a parking structure or making a left turn, nice! You cannot use the center console because it interferes with the hand brake, lovely. The brakes chatter when slowing from ~50 mph, e.g. coming down an off-ramp from the freeway. Absolutely the worst car I've ever owned. Don't buy an Audi.
Wow!!! Best car I drove & get the 6speed
I test drove a mustang, 350z, impreza, g35 coupe, etc and bought this amazing A4. I found myself doing 80mph in 3rd gear on the street and shocked on how it jumped (in acceleration). Wow!!! As a gear head at heart I worked on many muscle cars (and subsequently drove them) but again WOW! Of all the options the A4 offers you have to get the S-line package. It's a total aggressive look, 18 inch tires, and sports suspension. Just one drive and you know where that extra dollars were well spent. When buying a car I look at beauty, comfort, speed and most a fun factor. Something I missed with my last vehicle. I have 4 fun factors again now in my drive & its fantastic
solid car
this is a really good car. the ride is unbelievably smooth and quiet, even over bumps. the sport suspension of the s-line package is great. the transmission is smooth during acceleration and engine noise is non- obtrusive. for the first few thousand miles the car seemed a bit jumpy at initial acceleration, but that has evened out... most likely a result of the car breaking in and getting used to driving it. the ride is responsive and fun, plus there are tons of cool features to be had.
Best A4 yet
This is my fourth Audi A4, and the best yet. 3.2 V6 very smooth and powerful yet still delivers about 28 mpg on the freeway. The car is so solid and well built I am extremelly pleased. I have not found a single flaw in workmanship, just totally amazed at build quality, details and fit. Best interior you will find at just about any price. Quattro, ESP (electronic stability program), EBD (electronic brake distribution) all make one feel very safe and comfortable in this vechicle. Expensive but I feel it is worth every penny. I highly recommend one. I especially like the smaller vechicle size. Audi is really doing their homework to make a great car even better.
Great car, Fun to drive!
I got the S-Line package, and it really accentuates the handling of the car. It looks great on the outside, and the big wheels and sport suspension really makes the car handle well without riding rough. The interior is good looking and well laid out, and everything is made of nice materials. I also got the Bose package and it sounds pretty nice. Car is still breaking in, and mileage is getting better every day. Car is very quiet and refined on the highway, and is a lot of fun on a twisty road. I'm 6'3", and there's plenty of room for me, and theres still room for people in the back.
Better than many sports cars
For this empty-nester, the A4 Avant is great for cross country trips for two with lots of stuff. 30+ mpg on trips, 27 overall. The 6-spd manual is rare in an Avant, but it's great fun when combine with sports suspension. At occasional track days, this fuddy-duddy station wagon can stay with some expensive sports machines. About all this car isn't good at is sneaking up on pedestrians, as direction injection engine has an almost-diesel clatter.
Practical and fun to drive
Second A4 I've owned and this one is a lot more fun to drive. 2.0T is a great engine, lots of pep despite a little turbo lag. Have been averaging almost 28 mpg. Handling is great, very responsive. Have had a few electrical problems, but still love the car. Can't get it away from my wife! Back seat a little tight, but great trunk space. Nav system takes some getting used to, not as intuitive as my wife's MDX. Really like the satellite radio and the whole sound system. Overall very satisfied.
My First Audi
I have owned an Acura, 2 Hondas, a Volvo, Chevy Blazer, and 2 Land Rover Discoverys and now an Audi. Based on my experience so far, I will hopefully own nothing but Audis going forward. This is a wonderful car. Build quality and fit and finish are superb. I have never felt safer in any car. Even with the 2.0 litre engine, acceleration is very spirited (even though there is some hesitation at take-off) and I find myself cruising well above the legal limit without even realizing it. Living in the mid-Atlantic area, I was hesitant to give up 4WD from my Land Rover, so quattro was a major factor in choosing the Audi. Looked at the 3-Series BMW, but the Audi is a much more impressive vehicle.
Unsafe Transmission
Owned an Audi 5000CS during the unintended acceleration scare years. Fun to drive but a nightmare with repairs. Waited all these years to buy an Audi A4 wagon. Great design and overall build. However, had to have it towed after it died in the middle of an intersection. Supposed bad fuel pump sensor. Under warranty. Much bigger problem is the transmission (new design) that hesitates between 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Hesitates so long that it is unsafe when pulling out into traffic, etc. Dealer said it's the nature of the beast and to change the way I drive. Can't wait to return car. Luckily, I only have 9 months left on lease. Feels unsafe to drive. Take a long test drive before you buy.
Classy Fun
A precise machine. Perfectly balanced 6-speeed. Zero turbo lag thanks to the direct injection. Very comfortable seats, even if over 6 feet. Great stereo. Standard suspenion handles great, absorbs bumps. Easy to use navigation.
A Great Automobile
My beauty is Moro Blue with beige interior. Options include premium pkg, technology pkg, sport pkg, vavona birch trim, Bose XM stereo. This is my second A4, the first was an Amulet Red 2002 1.8T w/manual shifter (I miss that color, wish it was still available). So Cal's stop and go traffic necessitated my first automatic in 27 years. Although I miss a manual at times, I love the CVT's seamless shifting. After 17 months of truly enjoyable driving, this car has been flawless and it seems to get better with each mile driven. The car adapts to your driving style and fits like a glove. I love passing those monster SUVs getting 12 mpg, while I'm averaging 35 mpg! This A4 is a great automobile.
Safe & Solid
Well balanced road manners. The quattro system is amazing in the snow. Very stable on wet roadways. Full size spare tire is a plus. Very comfortable seats. Heating and a/c controls are too complicated. Fit and finish inside and out is of a very high quality. My A4 came with every available option. I have put 98,000 miles on it since I purchased new in 04/2006. Maintenance can be expensive. I get 30mpg average city/highway. Have gotten 36mpg on a long trip. Adaptive xenon headlights are ok but kind of gimmicky. Had to have them replaced under warranty. Timing belt requires replacement at 110,000 miles. I just had mine done at 90,000miles. Cost was $1,600.
Not your soccer-mom's station wagon
It's been 7 months of sheer driving nirvana. We have an almost fully loaded version. At first I thought it was silly to have so many add-ons, but honestly can't say I don't appreciate them all now. I love the S-Line package, very sporty and aggresive looking, soooo sweet on the twisties. I also love the new larger front grille design. I wouldn't change a thing on the exterior styling, perfectly sporty yet understated. I wouldn't have a problem recommending this car to anyone.
Brain Washed by Audi!
After months of comparison (IS 250, 3 series, MB C230, and G35), I finally settled on the A4, and have looked back with no regrets. This car is phenomenal to drive - it hugs off ramps and high speeds, the seats are supportive and comfortable on long trips, and the interior design is top notch. I purchased mine with a red exterior and a black / silver interior and it's eye catching! I also ordered mine with the sport suspension, which is great for windy road driving. The 4 cyl Turbo produces excellent HP. And for what you're getting in a car (entry level luxury sport), you're getting a lot more bang with your buck compared to the 3-series. I will come back to Audi for my next car.
Fun AWD sedan with sporting qualities
I've loved my Audi since the day I picked it up. Build quality of the vehicle is amazing and the interior is top notch. The full time AWD system is great in any type of weather. It especially compliments the manual transmission providing little to not slip off the line. Engine is powerful and pulls like a v-6. Only thing I would change would be to order the S-Line sports package. You get the looks of the more expensive S4.
Overrated
Ive had my Audi for months. Already had to get 1 headlight replaced. It shifts horribly, squeaky interior, at high speeds I get rattles from the dash very annoying. I'm glad it's a lease, no more Audi for me. Only good thing is the looks and design. Build quality is awful. I have every option to include titanium pkg. Seats are a bit uncomfortable, back seat space is minimal. No power for 2.0T. Oh and they don't use real leather seats.
Outstanding for a 4cyl
Excellent machine! Always wanted an Audi, don't know why I waited so long. I've owned other German made vehicles and the Audi is far superior! I believe I've found my car of choice for future purchases. Totally sold.
Coolness for a wagon
Wife wanted to downsize from SUV to a wagon. After test driving Subaru and Saab, I convinced her to ignore the price of the Audi A4 Avant 2.0T and test drive it. She loved it. While not much of a wagon fan, I have found I really like driving this semi-sporty little car. I love the sport shift, cornering ability (with 17 inch wheels/tires), and excellent suspension. The little 4 cyl has decent accel power - more than I anticipated. This is our first Audi and we really like it. Interior represents genius design.
First Time Owner
My husband and I had researched used A4s for the last year, and finally found one with the right features. Because we bought it with under 30k miles and the previous owner had taken exceptional care of it, it feels like a brand new car. The handling is WONDERFUL; the car has the optional sport suspension, and it makes a difference. There is plenty of power, and the the car purrs getting onto the freeway. It's also very comfortable inside, and everything about it feels posh. I'm looking forward to driving this car for the next few years!
First Audi
This is my first Audi I was going to buy a used 2000 A 4 After driving it for the day I went to the dealership and leased a new one. I own a G35, ES 300 and Maxima SE . This is by far the the most fun to drive. I added Electronics package and Ocean Blue Pearl paint (awesome). If you own a Bluetooth phone the Electronic package is a MUST! I think I would prefer a larger engine. I'm not crazy about the turbo around town but on the open road the car is a scream. Good thing it has a speed alarm! The six speed tip tronic transmission is sensational. Its brain automatically downshifts to first when you stop. The cruise control is the best I have ever used
What a car!
This car is awesome! I didn't drive much prior to owning this car, but it begs to be driven! I did chip it to get some additional HP and torque, and put on light weight 18" wheels and ultra high proformance tires to lighten it some but even the stock version was fun to drive! If you buy this car or have a chance to drive it, take it on a canyon road and really push the car! It responds great to tight corners and accelerates like a dream! Nothing anyone can write will express the true enjoyment you get with this car! Even rush hour traffic is bearable! Quattro is a must! Try it for yourself!
Powerful Compact Sedan
First Audi, have to say it's been great thus far. Test drove both 3.2 and 2.0T, felt 2.0T had more of a kick at start off. Great fuel economy, and excellent overall build. MMI lacks ability to play MP3s, and does not have external audio plug for iPod/accessories. Rear seat lacks room, but this is a compact sedan. 6MT is decent, clutch has too much distance, lacks the short sport like feeling.
Excellent audi A4
This is a great driving car for a 2.0 litre turbo vehicle. I have an all road as well and both drive differently. The A4 S line drives like a sports car. After 2500 miles the car seems to get faster and more agile with every turn. I do get a lot of looks from audi owners because of the S line which makes it look like an S4.
great car
I have an '06 S-line quattro six speed. Great car. Quick, agile, weather-proof. Exquisite interior. The only thing that wold have made it THE perfect car is maybe a 6 cyl. instead of the turbo 4. An Avant would also be a great alternative to a gas- guzzling SUV. A fantastic car with few compromises. I saw a S-line with the new graphite package and it is absolutely a killer looking ride.
Awesome Wagon!
I love this car! We were ready to downsize from an SUV, but still wanted an expanded cargo area. This fits our needs perfectly. We looked at the Subarus, but they didn't compare to the Audi. The 6 speed manual transmission shifts smoothly and is fun to drive.
Best Company Car Yet
Just got the '06 A4 2.0 T and I am very impressed. The engine is smooth and responsive and with the 6 speed auto it is the perfect blend of fun and comfort. I am in North Dakota and we just got our first snow and it handles the snow very well with the all season tires, but the throttle takes some getting used to as it really picks up speed after about 2K RPM and it can cause the wheels to spin, but it effortlessly overtakes other vehicles on the snowy roads without any discomfort. The fit and finish is excellent and the stereo is great. Only complaint so far is the speaker grill in the driver door. The door closed on my leg and it broke the grill. Seems pretty weak.
Here we go again
I had a 2003 TT. Great car to drive, but reliability was terrible. With only 6700 miles everything went wrong. Well I deceided to try Audi again. Only one week old and the memory seats don't work. Hello Audi. They make a great driving car and thats it. Reliability is horrible. The current clutch is also a disaster. It has no definite grip point
Best A4 Yet
I've had several A4's and this is the best on yet. The others were manual shift and I was concerned that there would be a performance loss with this car, but that's not the case. Like all Audi's this one is solid, designed well, and fun to drive. The tiptronic is simply amazing with three different shift options - sport mode does a great job of keeping the revs up, downshifting correctly - all in all, feeling just like a manual without the hassle of shifing. Everyone I know loves this car. I test drove a new 330i, and while the BMW does have a great motor, I'm not a fan of it's design - too overwrought and incongruent - hard to look at, inside and out.
If the interior were better......
Overall this is a very nice vehicle. It handles extremely well. The ride is much better than expected. Very little noise from the road. Good pricing compared to BMW and Mercedes. I have always heard how great the interiors are on Audi's but I am not very impressed. The plastic surrounding the center console looks cheap. The turbocharged four is excellent but noisy. It is quicker than the 200 hp in my Acura TSX but far more noisy.
A4 Review
I love the performance of this vehicle. The pickup reminds me of the small block muscle cars of the 60s.The interior is very ergonomically friendly with all the buttons easy to reach. The exterior has a stance that makes me feel like a lion among lambs on the road with an engine to back up my feelings when needed. I don't know why I didn't get an Audi before, but with today's advanced design, I'm glad I waited.
No lights!
Finally had to trade the car due to headlights randomly shutting off. Also constant "check engine"light. Always seemed to have some issue or problem.

Highschool student on a budget
I am a highschool student who lives in the midwest area. I had bought this car used from a friend of my parents who was a mechanic. The car was in pretty good condition. However a few months go by and my windshield transmission went out which was very costly as well as needing a new spark plug. My car also shakes when i drive and i have yet to figure out why it is just needing constant repairs. Being that i live in a snowy area for most of the year i dont think this car is the most reliable on snowy roads. The pros are the car is smooth good handling but if you are someone who is on a budget or in highschool i do not recommended this car

So far so good
Maybe it's too soon to offer this, but I'll do it anyway. Picked up the A4 2.0T this week. It's an amazingly comfortable car. The ride is very smooth, and the engine noise is almost pleasant. I've taken it pretty easy so far, but the one time I went for a little speed the car responded nicely. I got the nav system and the display is really nifty, but it's also a little distracting.
Certified 2006
I picked up a 2006 A4 2.0T with all the bells and whistles and I love it. It handles wonderfully, it wants to be driven fast and in tight spots. I have wanted an A4 since the 2005.5 was introduced. The style and comfort make me smile everytime! I finally enjoy driving everyday. I will never drive a two wheel drive vehicle again (I live in Michigan).
