3rd A4 in a row, this one better than ever!
Best car I've ever owned, hands down. I am a 3 time A4 owner and love the significant improvements they've made in the 2018. Sport Package and Black Optics set off the look and the front sport seats grip my body in spirited driving. Dynamic blend of performance and luxury. 100% would buy again

A real eye-catcher, but not without some issues.
Traded in my 2005.5 A-4, which I dearly loved and still miss to this day. As the cars are night and day different, there was a lengthy learning curve with the new one, both sticks by the way. I miss the old days when I figured out who was around me and I determined the best time to hit the brake! The first few times the car braked for me I freaked out! This one handles well but not exceptionally like my old one. It’s darn fast though and well-made, and quite handsome. The Bang and Olafson is superb. The tranny is smooth and effortless. My two major complaints, the brakes are annoyingly grabby, and the cruise-control stalk is dangerously close to my knee, and I’m not that tall. I accidentally engaged it once and it was downright scary. The mileage is very good, and we’re getting used to one another slowly but surely. One last thing...I went to check the oil and couldn’t find the dipstick. Why? Because there is none.

New Owner
Have now owned the car for 7 months and went in with high expectations. Happy to say they have all been exceeded. Great drive, excellent handling, great technology. Exceeded all expectations. Just keeps getting better!

Very different from any car I ever owned.
Easily the best machine I have owned or driven. The A4 is light on its feet and will simply outrun my former Subbie WRX and does not rob you of your dental fillings doing it. Fit and finish is excellent. I like the styling. Not so much flourish and swoops as now appears the vogue with Lexus. I also have owned Lexus IS 250. Not even close to Audi anymore. Don't know what Lexus is thinking these days.

New to Audi
Purchased my A4 premium plus quattro a few months ago. Very happy with the car. Looks great, very quiet on the road, lots of tech. Only complaint is a few bugs with Apple CarPlay - Although this may be my iPhone/Apple’s problem. I use this for my work commute, Smooth/sporty ride and great fuel economy so far. This really surprised me, going around 70 to 75 on the highway I get about 38 MPG, and this is the more powerful Quattro version. Very impressive so far.

Best Car Ever!
With one exception, a 1966 Oldsmobile Cutlass, I've driven cars with manual transmissions since 1962. starting with a four on the floor Corvair Monza. I've had a Volvo, Hondas, Acuras and for many recent years, a successions of SAABs until they disappeared from the market. Seeking the best replacement, I found the 2012 A4 the closest to my beloved SAABs. With manual transmission available in all lines, not just the bottom feeder. the A4 turned out to be a great alternative. Now I have a new 2018 A4 Premium Plus in the gorgeous Matador Red color, light beige seating, with the only option being the wood inlay trim. It is a car that exudes class inside and out. It is by far the best handling and performing car I have ever owned. And the standard Bang & Olufsen sound system is glorious. From a value perspective, Audi beats BMW and Mercedes because the standard equipment on the Premium Plus model would add substantially to the cost of those cars.

Audi leads the way
2018 improvements make the purchase of the new A4 a solid investment that will provide enjoyment and a sense of pride for years to come. We recently replaced our 2009 A4 with 121,000 trouble free miles with a new 2018 A4 Premium Plus Quattro. Both cars are from AudiTampa purchased and serviced there.

Best German Entry Lux Sedan of 2018
Before you drop your spare change on any other car in this class, you owe it to yourself to test drive this one. I was shopping for a C300 with my wife. I was so impressed with this I had to buy one for myself.

Audi A4 Quattro makes me feel younger!
My previous car was a BMW 528i and it felt great. However, once I drove the A4 I could feel the difference in handling and traction/stability on the road. I am having more fun in this car and it has all the bells and whistles too! At 71 I think I deserve a zippy car for a change.

Fantastic All Around
I traded a perfectly good two year SUV for this because I wanted to drive a manual transmission again and this was one of the only options with AWD and good performance. I have not been disappointed; it's the nicest car I have ever owned. The 2.0 turbo is great, the 6 speed is a joy to drive. The Bang and Olufsen is amazing. I was a little concerned about the need for premium fuel but at over 30 mpg in mixed driving, it costs less than my previous SUV that ran on regular. Of note to Audi (should they read this): as nice a car as this is I would not have purchased with an automatic and it will be my one and only if they stick to their plans of discontinuing the manual transmission. It a fabulous car but hard to justify the cost if I don't get to do the actual driving.
