This is my first Audi. Having spent a while looking around at other cars, I was sold on the Audi by its new looks alone. Once inside, on the road, and around the curves I knew it was the car for me. BMW lost me on their new 3 series re-design. Great sound system, convenient display of XM Radio data, toasty heated seats, & great dash design. The 2.0T is an engineering powerhouse when considering its fuel efficiency.

Great car for my daughter

I bought this car for my daughter to drive in college at University Of Colorado. We live in Southern California and so my daughter is not an experienced driver on snow and ice. Since I grew up in the Midwest, I know the importance of traction. Since I pay for the gas, I also know the importance of mileage. With 8 air bags, all wheel drive, Audi reliability, and a 100,000 bumper to bumper warranty, all coupled with 22 mpg City and 30 mpg country this car was our top pick. I lost a nephew in an accident so safety is also important to me. I own 8 vehicles of 2000 or newer including an S500 Mercedes. The A4 Audi is the "best bang for the buck" of all of them. I love the car!

I have always wanted an Audi and now I finally have one. And, so far it has not been a disappointment. For the last 12 years, I have driven only Acura Integras and RSXs. So, it was time for a change. Of course, it has only been a month but everything about the car says "cool car". And while I really do not care what others think, it is nice to hear people say lots of nice things about it.

I initially was in the market for a camry or TSX, but went to the Audi dealer on a whim. I love the way the car handles and the steering feel. It truly is a speed sensitive steering, unlike the BMW3, and easy to manuever. Great car for people of all ages. The car is a great blend of luxury and sportiness. Cannot express how much I love the steering wheel and steering ease in the parking lot. I drive a lot in stop and go traffic and the car handles flawlessly. I live in the harsh midwestern climate, and the quatrro definitely is fully utilized. Love my car, Attention Audi board/exec members, if you are reading this, please do not change the steering ease/speed senstive wheel.

I test drove several vehicles and ended up purchasing the Audi because it handled better, accelerated as well, got better gas mileage, better interior and trunk space plus it was priced right. I have had several nice cars, but this is by far the best all around car I have ever owned!

I just love this car!! The quality is outstanding. I use the audi and my husband now has the Lexus R300. I got the better car if you ask me. The bose sound system is pure quality. The only complaint I would have, make the seats a little wider. Other than that this car is awesome and fun to drive... very fast.

First, the gearbox in this car is amazing... flawless shifting! This car is all about the driver, giving an excellent drive that is fun, fast and smooth. The quattro allows for quick, stable handling, especially at high speeds, that is superior to anything else I have owned.

After test driving much of the competition, I test drove the Audi A4 Quattro and never looked back. The handling, interior luxury, and overall experience is unmatched by any of the others. While it may not have the name brand appeal of BMW/Mercedes, It is twice the car none-the-less. Audi = Attention to Detail!!! Audi just needs to Market more. Never even seen a commercial.

I have a 2006 BMW 530i with manual and sports suspension. Lots of zip. My wife has an A4 with 2.0 turbo and automatic. Truth be told, I take her car on the weekend whenever I can. Handling is about as good as the BMW and I find the BMW more fun to drive. I prefer the interior and exterior styling more and the AWD is better in bad weather. Interior is a tad smaller but for the two of us the car is purrfect. My next car will be an Audi - probably with a 6 cylinder. Overall, the Audi is more.

I had a 98 Passat with the 1.8T. After putting 165K miles on that car I knew the 2.0T would be a winner. I wasn't wrong. For all around handling, interior comfort, looks, luggage space and performance, you would be hard pressed to find a better value. The car is glued to the road and handles slippery weather. I chose this car based on these factors: MPG, all wheel drive, golf club fit sideways in trunk, safety, handling, fun, looks. No other AWD car has the balance of these and the price of the A4.

Pleasurable drive, superior standard engine, a great deal compared to a BMW 325i, and in addition it gets better fuel economy (25 city/ 32 highway) than a 3-series. What more could you ask for?

Mechanically there have been zero problems. The car has performed nicely. Last week, pulling into an intersection I was within three meters of being broad sided by a car running through the red light at high speed. I punched the gas pedal and the car's AWD gripped the road allowing the 2.0 Liter Turbo to haul me out of harms way, permitting the other car to screech around and behind mien Audi. My life, or quality thereof, was saved by this car.

I've had my A4 now just over a year and have put 22,000 miles on it; half of which were driving back and forth fom DC to NY in lousy winter weather. The car is so good, the only reason I will ever own another is if and when I splurge on an S4. I had heard mixed reviews about the last generation of A4s reliabilty. Well, I have not had a single problem. Handling, traction, steering and control are out of this world. I often travel and end up renting other cars; it's amazing how less secure I feel in them compared to the A4.

I did a lot of research on BMW, Lexus, Audi and US models. Settled on the Audi because of the quattro system, performance, and build quality. I have owned the vehicle for one year with no issues and it is still exciting to drive, outstanding on snow and ice. You can't go wrong on this one.

I have the 2.0 Quattro with a 6 spd and every option offered at the time. This car is a lot of fun to drive and certainly has more than enough power. Rock solid in the curves, even at high speed. The new 2007 navigation update made some changes to the radio that I am not crazy about. My car has 15,000 miles and is still a great ride. Just traded it though on a 2007 2.0 cabriolet. I have had many Audi cars going back to 1974 and they get better all the time.

Went to Dealership to test drive a 2005 allroad. I never owned a sedan in my life, and I just assumed I would be attracted to something larger. They had a 2006 3.2 A4 Quattro (Auto w/Triptronic) and an S4 as well. The Allroad was great, a little too broken in though. I drove the 2006 A4 and was immediately comfortable. It was tight, fast, and the interior didn't feel as small as I thought it would be. Got it with 23,000 miles, with just about every option except nav, which I hate anyway. This car suits me perfectly. The perfect balance of power, safety, style, and performance.

I bought my A4 used with 29K miles, and it feels like I bought a new car. The 2.0T is more than enough for normal daily driving. The CVT took a little getting used to, but now I love the smooth shifting it provides. The interior is very classy. Overall, this car makes me want Audis for the rest of my life.

August 2022. Daily driver. We have put 100k miles on it since we bought it in 2016. This is a fine car. Rides nice, plenty of power, quiet interior. It is one of those vehicles that does not beat you up on a long trip. It is at its best on the open road. I am the sole maintainer of the car and have never taken it in for anything broken, except for a nationwide recall on the passenger-side airbag which the local dealer took care of at no cost. I have kept track of maintenance costs. I do all the wrenching and regular service work like oil changes myself. Annual maintenance cost has been $887 per year average which includes tires. Not bad. This car can be classed as an enthusiast's car and has plenty of aftermarket parts support. It also has a strong automotive forum following with several websites and lots of grass-roots how-to knowledge/advice available on those sites. The car requires diligent maintenance. It's true, Audi's aren't happy unless they are dripping something on the garage floor. But if kept up properly can be an outstanding older (Near vintage) automobile. Hayabusafalcon.

I've owned a lot of cars in my life, but this has been the car that's been the most fun to drive. Equipped with a 2.0T and a 6 speed manual, it's lowered with 18" wheels and tires, and drives like it's on a rail. 217,700 miles and still going strong. I would drive it anywhere in a heartbeat.

18 Months and 35K+ miles later: I would do it again, "Buy Another Certified Audi Vehicle". 29MPG Highway occasional better. Incredible in snow of any depth here in Southern WI. Zero Maintenance issues!!!!!! Just replaced the OEM Continental Tires at 60K+ miles. Purchased Ultra High Performance Eagle GT's from Goodyear. Great looking, fun to Drive, head turning vehicle. Everything I had hoped for when buying my first European AWD Car. Be sure to ask about the interest rate for Certified Used, the extended warranty and the service package up to 100K Miles. 12 more months and I'm searching for a 2008 or 2009.

This is my 4th Audi and 3rd with one of their great turbo-4's. It's also the first one I regret buying and wish I had considered a G35 or a 325 a bit more. The engine is peppy and efficient, handling is fun at normal speeds, quattro speaks for itself, and the interior materials are typical class-leading Audi. I also enjoy the tech package's fancy lights and bluetooth. My real complaint is the ride/handling. The sport suspension ride is unforgiving over most roads, yet it's easy to upset the car when you push it hard at speed. I'd skip that option. Honda nor BMW would put their name on that wobbly shifter. The armrest can't be down with e-brake up? That's a GM foible, not for an Audi.

I love this car. The first time I saw the front grill I thought it was the new A6. When I found out it was the A4, went right to the dealer and picked one up. cornering with this car and manipulating the brake assistant and other intelligent technology features makes the ride more fun than even my old 2004 C 230k. Example just try to turn driving and braking way too late; you will be amazed at what this car does! Also cornering at higher speeds than normal feels great but will speeding up feels even beter.

Ten days after getting my car I drove from Florida to Canada, I didn't have any problems. I enjoy driving this car so much that it only took me two days, I only stopped to eat and for fuel. This car is the best. BMWs are also beautiful cars but I like this car more because it shows more prestige and is more elegant. I can't wait for the B8 model.
