Awesome car and very comfortable.
At 115000 miles I needed a new battery and also am having some engine issues. Some of the leather in the car is wearing out and will need to be repaired. Engine makes a sort of clicking sound. The car is extremely comfortable and has a nice rum of the engine when you drive. Very quiet drive when on the freeway.

An enjoyable driving experience
Fun to drive. Repairs are expensive. Suspension and handling better than all my other cars. Takes only premium gas with not the best gas mileage. Interior of car is not very spacious but has nice leather and wood trim. The car is fast and powerful with all wheel drive.

The quality and handling is above par.
I love how it handles in the snow and rain. I love it is compact size. The build quality is exceptional.

Audi-expensive but beautiful reliable cars.
It is a smooth ride, very nice and well put together car and beautiful interior. Things do not often break but when they do, it is expensive. Even so, it has lasted me a long time. My car is about ten years old, driven daily and running perfectly. I would buy an audi again.

It is my car, highly modified to my own specific taste and enjoyment.
I really enjoy the interior of the car, all materials are well sorted and quality. The overall driving experience of the car is a very luxurious and comfortable one. All options on the car make sense, nothing being unusable or different in any way. With all of that being said, I am not a fan of the fuel consumption of the car.

How safe an Audi is because of their quattro technology.
I love the quattro of an Audi. My car is silver with dark leather interior - I love that look. I love how it performs on the road. I feel safe in it. I also love the Bose speakers - and love to listen to music in it. But mostly, I love how safe I feel in it.

This vehicle has endured weather and mileage from just one owner
Love the reliability of it, wish it was equipped with more modern amenities

Best car I have ever had. Will be hard to part ways when the time comes.
It does take premium gas, therefore the cost of driving is high. Also, the repairs are fairly expensive. However, I love this car. It handles beautifully. The inside (including the trunk) is big enough for me. Altho' the back seat can be a little uncomfortable for larger adults. The 4 wheel drive really handles well in the snow. I have kept this car for over 13 years because I love it so much. Will definitely consider another Audi when I have to get a new car.

Introduction of the 2006 Audi a4: features, problems, and status.
My Audi a4 is very useful. It is a bit rusty, however, but still working. The only problem with it is that it has a transmission problem, and it is max speed is only 100 miles per hour due to that. It accelerates slowly, which can be useful or terrible. However, I am used to the car. I may be willing to go buy another Audi car. The a4 only costed me about $2000, which is a seriously good deal. Am looking for a 4 seater car too (like the one I have now). Soon I may sell the car for $4000 in the condition it is in right now and if I am able to fix everything, maybe $6000. That is the condition of my car and the status it is in right now. The features it has is that it can go for 25 miles per gallon, which is really good. The car weight about 2300 pounds and it drives smoothly (can even surpass sharp objects) without a flat tire. This is all I have to say at the moment.

When running it runs smoothly and makes you feel great
Bad leaking. Not even a month after being bought the car started having problems of leaks under the engine. The hotter it is the more it leaks. But when cold there's another issue the car starting. In a 6 month period the car failed to start about a half dozen times with it needing to be jump started.

The 4 wheel steering makes it very easy to park! You can go 80 and the car doesn't feel like you're going fast.
The car is comfortable. It drives well in all conditions. But it is expensive to maintain and is expensive to insure.

Pre Owned Audi a4 2006. Refurbished.
Audi a4 2006. Bought gently pre-owned. Recently had brand new abs in car, new brake pads and windshield wipers. Great gas mileage. Ability to heat, move, and massage in seat. Has a 'sport' setting on gear shift, allows for faster/easier acceleration.

When the car is in its best shape its performance is remarkable.
Electrical problems had to get the alternator fixed twice in the same year other than that the car is pretty cool.

Very cool car and very nice car
It's a fast car, very spacious, and nice details. The trunk putting in the car goes under a wheel compartment and it still has space to put more items. The car itself is very nice. It also has a sunroof. The colors of the cars stand out. The car can go really fast

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Ashley H.

My vehicle is dependable, comes from a good name brand that is trusted, gets good gas mileage, is considered stylish by many, and has nice features I enjoy such as heated leather seats, keyless entry, and a nice audio system.

likeFilled Sabrina B.

I like that my Audi drives smoothly and it has a Luxury feel. The heated seats are probably the BEST feature it has especially during the winter time. It is dependable and gets me to where I need to go.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Ashley H.

The cons of my vehicle include the cost of upkeep and maintaining it (I had to pay $90 for windshield wipers last winter),the compact size ( I prefer SUVs), and the fact that are newer cars available that have much nicer features.

dislikeFilled Sabrina B.

The number one con is that it is not that great on gas. When there is a mechanical problem it is very pricey due to the make and model of the car. It also has no Bluetooth features for music just the radio, tape, and CD options.
