Great and comfortable for long trips.

I love the luxury and all the technology. Also love the service plan that was available for the first 4 service appointments.

IT'S VERY SAFE WITH THE LATEST TECH

FUN TO DRIVE, GREAT HANDLING, FAST, POWERFUL, ECONOMICAL, ATTRACTIVE

Ingrid D

Safe car with sport handling, yet the safety you require.

I was used to driving a V6 vehicle and was hesitant about the 4 cylinder Audi. OMG!! This car has SO much power. I love the maneuverability, the features, and especially, the fuel economy.

Shavon F

Competitive prices and good economy are further positives.

The Audi a4 saloon is a seriously accomplished compact executive car. It is more well-rounded than previous generations of a4, with an outstanding interior and the availability of some advanced technology. It is a car with few weaknesses and, although it is not particularly exciting to drive – or much of a head-turner – it should be a satisfying machine to live with. Competitive prices and good economy are further positives.

Austin N

Audi’s high performance model a4.

Performance is amazing and so far no mechanical issues. Tire care is a little pricey but owning an Audi comes with that kind of thing. Very pleased and highly recommend. Would trade it for the world and plan on buying an Audi in the future. Using higher prices gas helps as well with performance.

Matt A

What my car highlights are? Everything.

My car is great the only problem for me is mpg but besides that everything is great nice design, amazing speakers, space for sports bags or some other type of things. In my time with the car it is amazing would say to buy this car, so if you are looking for a car to fit a lot of needs this is the car.

Robert M

Audi save the planet and the world so our children can have a better life.

Expensive and I think it is just the way it works and it is not the same as it was in the past two months but it still does not matter if you have any other ideas for the next two years. I think the best thing to do is to get rid of your own personal car and take public transportation.

Jane M

The most ultra-cautious car I have ever owned!

This car has been a headache from the beginning. There are too many annoyances to list! One of the most expensive mistakes of my life. The most bothersome issue is that the motion sensors/backup camera are way too 'sensitive'.. There are times when the car starts beeping when there is no one or nothing around.

Samad A

Interesting detail is black Acura with nice wheels.

Bad gas mileage. A lot of maintenance required, lots of problems with the tire. I think it would be best to get a car with best gas mileage, however the surround system and technology system is good as well as the comfort in the car such as heated seats and leather seats. Good navigation.

Andrew

Skid Plate

The car drives very nicely. But for a so-called luxury car, Audi has installed a cardboard skid plate under the oil pan. It is attached with cheap clips that loosen their grip with age. The combination of cheap cardboard & clips results in the skid plate being unreliable. It easily detachs and drags on the ground. Very disappointing! But i guess since you cant see it you wont know how cheap it is until a few years have passed.

James H

Smooth ride, expensive maintenance.

It is a very smooth ride, not a good car if you have a family bigger than 4. Maintenance and upkeep does get pretty pricey. Tires are expensive. The dealership service is great though. They give you a loaner Audi when yours is being serviced no matter the length of time.

Michelle R

Great summer car, smooth and fast

I am always having electricity problems with my car, the sunroom gets stuck. I also have had battery problems with my car. I love the way my car drives, so smooth. The gas actually isn't bad either, great car for the summer, the rad surround system is beautiful

Michelle S

Audi a4 2017 - sedan navy blue.

Very hard drive. Low to ground. Eats a lot of gas. Not thrilled with the make of it for the money. I do not find it driver friendly. The mirrors do not light up when a car passes by. This you need to pay extra for. It should be all bells and whistles for the cost overall. Everything is extra.

Interior is very nice and I would recommend this vehicles.

It is pretty nice and it handles well. I would recommend this vehicle and it is very good. Thank you for asking. I think it could be a bit better quality but overall it has lasted a few years and it looks pretty nice too. If I had to buy another audi, I would because it seems like a long lasting car and it looks really good like I said.

Jay P on June 12, 2021

Sporty car that looks sharp in all seasons.

The Audi a4 is an excellent car for young professionals looking for a balance between class, performance, and price. It is an inline 4 cylinder engine with a turbo that produces over 300 horses which is perfect for the lightweight sedan. The vehicle also comes equipped with feathers such as heated seats and steering wheels.

Pros from Owners

Felix C.

I appreciate the quality of the vehicle. It is a good solid road car. It gets decent mileage. The ride is smooth and comfortable. The interior is very is well fitted with leather trim and multiple comfort features. The automatic windshield wiper and lights are great.

Joseph P.

It hugs the road very well and is very responsive. It is a nice car with comfortable seating. It has great miles per gallon and I do not have to fuel up very often. It is not too hard to parallel park with since it is not a bulky car.

Nicola E.

I love my Audi a4. It is stylish to look at, has fantastic technology. Good gas mileage. Good size to get around town. Love the Audi rings that light up when I open the door. Seats are very comfortable. Like the air cooled.

Cons from Owners

Felix C.

The vehicle is expensive to maintain. The mileage is decent but not the best. I have had other Audi and the trim has been much nicer. The road noise is a little louder than I like. It has some safety features but would have liked blindside alerts.

Joseph P.

Was pretty expensive and on the higher side, and it also scratches easily. This vehicle goes through oil pretty fast and I have had to change it many times. The air conditioning is also a little weaker than I would have liked.

Nicola E.

The Audi my connect is not easy to work. I have never been able to get my garage door opener to sync with the car. The blind spot is giant, thank goodness for the blind spot warning. The paid for Audi connect after the free 6 months is ridiculous price. Easier to just plug in the phone and use google maps.
