Way too much Fly-By-Wire

Everything feels numb. Throttle feels delayed and overall feel of the car seems “disconnected.” Shifting is quick but getting into drive initially has an odd delay. High steering ratio of 16:1 is ridiculous, perhaps beneficial on no-limit European highways, but in the US completely burdensome... almost two full cranks to make a 90 degree turn. Center console intrudes on right knee... but plenty of room for left knee on passenger side. Obviously it’s core design is for right-side drive; left side drive seems to be an oversight. Seems they could have added an 8th gear; between 4th and 5th, the engine is either bogged or revved mighty high. Engine feels underpowered unless precisely within its power band. Does not feel like an A4. Audi, what happened?

I should have had a V6

I looked at BMW, Mercedes, Volvo, and Genesis before deciding to lease a 2019 A4. The interior of the car is very nice, although the absence of storage space is suprising, and the quality of the leather is pretty low. Although the turbo 4 engine and dual clutch transmission provide adequate acceleration, the engine feels lumpy at lower RPM, Even worse is the abrupt lurch to the left when accelerating from a stop. Every stop sign turns into a wresting match with the steering wheel. The auto-stop-start is rough and intrusive (much worse than Mercedes). Overall, I dislike driving the car. I wish my lease was shorter. I don't think that Audi is planning on making major changes to the drivetrain in 2020, so buyer beware

I'm a complete Audi convert

I owned a BMW 3-series and then 3 Infiniti products prior to making the switch to my A4 in 2020. I got a great deal on a dealer loaner with 3k miles on it. So a like new vehicle with quite a steep discount. This is the best car I've ever owned. I will give a small ding for the lack of a touch-screen MMI, but the newer models have rectified that. The fit and finish of the cabin are better than my Infinitis and miles and miles ahead of the BMW I owned. The tech and driver instrument cluster are top notch. I'm most impressed with the performance of the 248HP I4 and the A7 transmission. It's an absolute pleasure to drive. I don't do many trips outside of my home town, but the few road trips up and down California's highways have produced 36 MPG+ performance. Excellent value and also - again - just a pleasure to drive on the highway.

Perfectly Balanced Performer

This car is a pleasure to drive on the highway as well as winding roads. Acceleration is smooth and quick, gas mileage hard to beat. It makes me want to drive everywhere as opposed to flying these days. Perfect balance of sportiness and luxury. Handles like its on rails. As long as i don't experience serious issues with this car , I will drive it until one of us drops. Look after this car, its well worth it to do so. My favourite car and maybe my last as well. Wish there was a tad more room in the trunk for a golf bag straight and not diagonal, my only complaint. Finish of this car is beyond Impeccable, German engineering at its finest. Wow! This is not a utility vehicle, so don't expect that. Try passing someone with this car , then hit the brake, see what i mean. Impressed at what a 2l 4 cylinder can do, now a believer.! You will love it.
