Not worth the money

My car is an A4 Quattro premium S-Line. It stickered just shy of the $50k mark. If I wasn't able to get a smoking deal on it I would have never bought it. Sure, it's pretty. Sure, people go "ooohhh, you have an Audi" but honestly, this car is nowhere near worth the price of entry. For $15k less you can get a fully loaded Passat with the 1.8t which is all anyone really needs. You will wind up with a much bigger, more comfortable car. With darn near the same build quality, and it will have everything a modern car should have. For example...Bluetooth streaming audio. The Audi doesn't have it until you pony up for the premium plus package. Which pushes you over that 50k mark. Another place the A4 falls woefully short is the back seat. If you have kids in booster seats, get ready to wrestle with seatbelts because the seat area is so narrow your booster WILL block the buckle. And we have the Diono Cambria which is a fairly narrow booster. Still blocks the buckle. Also, if anyone riding up front is over 6' tall, you will render that back seat virtually useless. My 4 year old complains about being squished behind me, I'm 6'3". We don't have the problem in our far less expensive, much more equipped Passat. Basically, if you are of average or lower stature, the A4 might be ok for you, as long as you're ok with paying a boatload of money for a car that has some seriously glaring omissions in the options department. If you want a well built German car that has everything in it and won't break the bank, go to VW and save some money.

Clutch went at 17.5k

The clutch started slipping at 17.5k miles. I'm in my 70's, and don't abuse the car. The dealers said it is "normal wear and tear" and don't want to warranty it. The dealer gave me an estimate of $4900 plus tax to replace. I sold my last two cars with 105k and 95k miles respectively both with the original clutches still working fine. Guess I should have stayed with Honda products. Audi support was of little help.

Why, Audi, Why?

After 11 years, my beloved A4 passed on to another plane of existence. I had always planned to buy another Audi when the time came. I didn't buy this car because for some reason, this Audi can't do what my much less expensive VW can do. I want to connect my phone to my car via Bluetooth and not only get phone calls but also my music, Waze, Spotify etc., to play through the speakers. I can't do this in the Audi unless I purchase the much more expensive package or plug my phone in.. to a cord... in the glove box. No. Just no. Also, CVT transmissions are crap and forced me into a more expensive Quattro to avoid them. Who doesn't want to feel the car shifting? Who likes CVT transmissions?! Also, the back seats don't fold down, there's not even a ski sack like my 2005 had. So, there's no option for a bit more room. I did not buy the Audi. I wanted so badly to buy the Audi but I just couldn't do it. I bought a Mercedes-Benz instead. I'm hoping Audi gets it right in the next several years.

I bought a 2016 A4 SLine when it was less than a year old and have two major complaints. The exterior paint (black) is pathetic. When it was 18 months old it started to chip and fade, far worse than any comparable car I’ve seen. Still under warranty, I asked Audi Customer Service to fix the problem and they refused to do anything. They claimed I must have been driving behind a gravel truck! So unhelpful, insulting and humiliating, like dealing with a low budget brand, not a premium brand like Audi. Second, the 2.0L, 220 hp engine mated with the CVT has horrible turbo lag. This is annoying and unsafe when you need to quickly turn into traffic. Our 175 hp Subaru is quicker, even though it’s a heavier car. There are two drive modes: Normal and Sport. Audi programmed "Normal" to be like "Eco Mode" in most other cars, i.e. keep the RPMs as low as possible to maximize fuel economy, while Sport mode raises the RPMs by 1,000 to provide decent acceleration. However it does not cure the turbo lag. Other complaints: seats made of really cheap leather and the a terrible audio system interface - overly complicated/not user friendly, and no USB ports! The navi system is practically unusable - you must spell your destination one letter at a time using the rotary selector - ridiculous. It may have been state of the art in 2004, but was totally outdated for a 2016 model. I will never get another Audi again.

This is my second A4 and I bought it coming off lease. I have the Prestige with all the options and the S-Line trim. I would not have opted for these if buying new, but they provide excellent additions to both comfort and safety. The engine now has 66K miles on it and it is not lacking power or efficiency. I can still pass anything on the highway and the jump from 70 to 90 MPH is both quick and effortless. The 8-speed automatic is smooth. My prior A4 was a 6-speed manual, which I enjoyed driving, but this automatic is tough to hate. The parking and blind spot indicators work well and have helped me out several times. Living in Maine, the Quattro and heated seats and mirrors are always appreciated. My old A4 had rear heated seats as well, but this one oddly does not. The premium sound system sounds great and while I'm not a huge fan of the knob based MMI system, I have gotten used to it. Overall, this is a fun car to drive on long trips or short commutes and though I won't likely ever buy one new, one like this, coming off lease with a warranty was a purchase I'm not likely to regret anytime soon. I bought my prior A4 when in was 8 years old and drove it for 5 years putting very little into it for maintenance. Great cars.
