Used 2018 Audi A4 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Pukemobile!
I am facing a very odd situation where most of my passengers are experiencing headaches and motion sickness which sometimes ends up in a grand finale. It all began pretty much early on during the first months of ownership, I thought that it was my driving style but definitely no, same people had no problem riding along in my other cars and most of the driving is in NYC or around the tri-state area, all new riders share the same symptoms as well. I ended up not driving it much and have reached out to Audi USA for a solution (yet again after a few previous attempts). Multiple dealers heard out the story but all they can do is to shake heads and shrug the shoulders. Very disappointing experience with Audi. Otherwise I would say that it is a fair all-rounder and gets the job done, but nothing it does well can redeem it from its new nickname, ladies and gentleman, please meet, a Pukemobile! EXTERIOR: Ok, lets you to blAnd in with the traffic. INTERIOR: Nice dashboard and front overall, while seats are flat and lack side bolstering (relates only to a base Premium trim). DRIVING: Ok, lets you to push it when needed but to a point. Acceleration is adequate for the 2.0T engine and the weight of the car, no complaints. Highway overtaking should be done preferably in Sport mode or using paddle shifters. Ride is smooth enough on base 17" wheels. Turbo lag is there and can be felt when driving off from the standstill or in a crawling traffic. And onto the elephant in this car... TRANSMISSION: HORRIBLE, supper annoying huge lag when switching between D-N-R, will make you hear lots of honking in the busy NY streets. Odd gating (gate sensors) of the gear lever will make you miss the gears (D-N-R) quite often. However when already in motion over 25mph, the transmission works just fine. COMFORT & ENTERTAINMENT: Base sound system is not on par with base systems in BMWs or MBs, way below and does not deliver even adequate sound quality. Apple CarPlay works as designed, but probably 9 out of 10 times. FUEL EFFICIENCY: as claimed by Audi and not much to report there. QUALITY: overall fit & finish is good but started developing random squeaky noises in about 10-11 months or 6K miles. VERDICT: Solid 3 stars, 1 star knocked off for being a mysterious Pukemobile and 1 star off for that transmission. Pretty disappointed with Audi at this point.

5 Years with NO issues or repairs
The car has been flawless for me in the last 5 years. I have never had to take it in for a repair (knock on wood) and the comfort, fuel efficiency and power is great. It’s rare to find a car that is all of the above. This was my first A4 and if things continue to go positively like they have I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another Audi.
Classy, sporty, elegant - just like me ;)
Great car... reliable and just the right balance between fun, elegant, and practical.
