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

2018 Audi A4 2.0 TFSI Premium Plus quattro Summer of Audi 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

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.

Beyond automotive excellence

2018 Audi A4 2.0 TFSI ultra Premium Plus 4dr Sedan w/Prod. End 6/18 (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

I have driven Audis for decades, starting in 1980 and always loved the brand. Audi has a long, storied history dating back to the early 1900s, with distinguished heritage. It always pushes the boundary of technology & Innovation (hence the German motto “Vorsprung durch Technik”), not to mention a winning racing pedigree (Grand Prix in the 1930s, rallying in the 1980s, SCCA Trans Am, IMSA GTO, European super touring in the 1990s, 24 Hours of Le Mans and American Le Mans series in the 2000s, Audi R8 competition in the 2010s, and soon, Formula 1). The cars from Audi have character and style, and a unique combination of performance without sacrificing comfort & convenience. They are not mere transportation. This “B9” generation A4 (mine is an “ultra” Premium Plus S-line submodel & trim level) is the 7th Audi in my family. It is without question the most technologically advanced I have driven yet. The tech is not there for its own sake, it genuinely serve many functions and make them easy to use via the MMI interface as well as direct input switches on the center console and steering wheel. The more I learn about the little touches that the tech provide, the better I come to appreciate what the engineers thought of when designing the car. The result is sublime. The suspension is stiffly sprung like a good German sport sedan should be, and the result is quick and sharp handling despite the car’s size and weight, yet the body structure is stiff enough, and the low NVH characteristics makes the ride serene and comfortable on most roads. The engine is a marvel. With only 2.0 liter displacement, it nevertheless provides a satisfying rush of torque, power and acceleration when you step on it, all the while being very quiet. It feels so effortless! What’s more impressive, is how it manages to be fuel-efficient while pulling a car that weighs over 4000 lbs. I average about 28mpg in mixed city/highway driving. At 70 mph, the engine cruises at around 1500 rpm in top gear (it has a 7-speed "S-Tronic", a dual clutch manual transmission operated by computer, so you drive it like an automatic). The car has a fuel tank with around 13 gallons capacity, and a full tank can go more than 500 miles! Last but not least, the car is roomy inside, with ample leg room and head room even in the back. The trunk is cavernous, too. All that wrapped in a body that’s sleek and good looking, unlike other brands, the new Audi design language is elegance with a healthy dose of fierce attitude, but it’s not overdone. Inside and out, every surface, every line or curve is a feast to the sight and the touch. Every drive in this car is a treat to the senses! I’m very happy with this purchase.

Nothing but trouble

I’ve owned this vehicle for about 2 years now. I love how I feel in the driver’s seat, and the car is fast with great gas mileage. However, I’ve had this car in the shop every 2000 miles for one thing or another. I’ve had two seatbelt components replaced, drivers seat lumbar support repaired, rear window chatter in cold repaired, transmission oil pump replaced, and most recently a brand new rear differential. On top of this, the transmission shifts hard in early gears and smooths out in later gears. I’m not sure if this vehicle is a garbage bin, or if the previous owner drove this car way too hard. Either way, I haven’t been able to enjoy this vehicle like I should.

Hate the technology

The car is comfortable, drives well, has good power, and gets suprisingly good gas mileage. I get 39 mpg on the highway. The problem for me is the technology. The audi connect is a grossly overpriced data plan. Without it, many of your tech features dont work. The navigation is a nightmare. During the sales cycle I was shown how easy it was to upgrade maps. Download to an sd card, plug it in and upload. Dealership even offered to do the first couple free. Well.... when I went to get that first free one, they wanted $500. So, I set out to do myself. First you have to make sure you can configure java so that you can connect to download. Then you have to download 10gb @ myaudi server speed 0f about 200kb/sec. Meanwhile, it keeps timing out. This is an all day affair folks.... and no, it isnt my connection or lack of tech savvy. Google it.
