Very nice car, but unreliable acceleration

Great quality control, good front seat comfort, marginal rear seat comfort, but unreliable acceleration when you really need it Sometimes the acceleration when needed in traffic is good, other times the car places you in harm's way by not accelerating for a few seconds. Completely unacceptable in my opinion. We had a Mercedes C300, traded it for the Audi A4. We will go back to Mercedes with the next purchase. Audi has attempted unsuccessfully to find the non-acceleration problem.

Simply perfect, but after 5k miles

Yes, it's that good. I owned the current generation Passat, but traded it in a few years ago for a 328i. I loved the beemer and always missed the Passat for its all around good road manners and build quality. Needless to say the Audi is a finer automobile than the Passat with similarities. This is our 3rd Audi in 10 years. They are underrated. This is as good as it gets for a mid sized sedan. And it's design, inside and out is classic and practical, and will look good on the road for years. The new generation should have had a little more standout change. You will be very pleased with your gas mileage. Once you buy a German made vehicle you will find it difficult to settle for anything else.....in my opinion. And my updated review: 6 months later. I grew very bored of this Audi, because, well, it's boring. It is actually little better, if at all, than the Passat. Coming up my driveway into the garage is where the turbo lag problem really " shines". The front wheel drive in combination with the light front end and too powerful engine is downright dangerous if you are trying to pass someone. Many times, I nearly lost control of the car. It is time for Audi to add more value to this car. It is just too bare bones for 40k. You don't see many on the road in the luxury drenched area I reside....that's telling. Yes we have an Audi agency here, and it's not very good either.

Great but could use a few convenience items

First off, the car is great. I have put on a couple thousand miles and have been pretty happy so far. I do have a few gripes. I'm coming from a 2008 RAV4 so this is my baseline. Glove box is very small. Yes there is a CD player in there but still...it's kind of worthless for storage. That said, storage is pretty much non-existent. The RAV4 has a bunch of compartments for all my stuff. The A4 has nothing other than the glove box. No sunglasses holder. I can't put a large Gatorade bottle in the cup holder unless I put it upside down. My RAV has a removable rubber cup holder insert so I can put the bigger bottle in it. Side pockets are small as well. The interior is otherwise well done. Gas mileage is great. Performance is excellent. Stock tires are quiet but do not seem very grippy when pushing it. Overall very happy with my purchase, albeit with a couple of complaints.

Do Not Get the Aluminum Decorative Inlay

I can't believe Audi came up with this Aluminum thing. When the sun hits it, it gets so glaring. And of course, around midday, the sun will surely hit it because the Audi design is so aerodynamic. This Aluminum thing reminds me of a similar design that Honda came up with about 12 years ago for its Civic. That was glaring too. But Honda dropped it. But Audi caught it and put it on its A4?? So I recommend paying extra for the dark wood or brown wood. About everything else, A4 is completely redesigned. I'm quite happy. I may write an update in 6 months.

I am brand new to Audi. I recently just purchased the all new A4 back in May. This car is a total blast to drive! I couldn't be any happier with the performance and quality.
