Smooth Ride and Great Time!
My white Audi A4 is a great car with a smooth ride and comfortable interior. I enjoy both the luxury and the performance. My only complaint is that It's an older Audi, I would love to get a newer version.

Enjoying my Audi a4 and its features.
My vehicle handles smooth and is very reliable. The a/c works quick, the heated seats are great when the weather is cold they keep the leather warm and comfortable. The only problem I ran into with it was the water pump it stopped functioning the way it should but it has been fixed now. I enjoy my car when I go with my wife on long drives or even around the area.

2010 Audi a4, it is white with black leather.
I love my car. It is very comfortable to drive. It is quite expensive to fix anything though, although overall it has all been positive. It is also very reliable and haven't had to worry about that yet.

The coolest cloud you'll ever float on.
I have had a BMW 3 series and although that car has a great engine, I prefer Audi. Yes, I want speed, but I also want a smooth ride. It is so smooth that you can easily get to 100 mph before you realize you are way over the speed limit. I imagine would be a fun car to have if you live in Montana.

The drive you can't beat how an Audi drives
I love the drive it's very smooth and fun to cruise around in. I wish it had more features but other than. That great!

My Audi a4 model the best ride for comfort and within the range of your budget.
It is fuel efficient and easy to maintain. My Audi has great mileage. Built for comfort and speed. The only issue you. Might have to deal with his getting it out during winter. The battery is easily affected in cold weather. The safety precautions built in it is too class. Even in extreme crash you will not suffer too much hurt.

Overall I like this car however, I personally wouldn't purchase another one.
I have a 2010 Audi a4. I currently am currently concerned with what I think is an oil leak issue that needs to be addressed, other than that it is been very reliable, it is good on gas as well. I like that its sporty with all leather. Great sound system and other cool features.

The car is cute, but expensive to maintain. No storage
Guzzles oil and audi wont fix it even though it is a known problem
accountCircle Jack L
The car is fast, small and handles extremely well.
This car has an oil distribution problem, lights and sensors constantly go off. I have it in the shop for something new as to what seems like every week. The tire pressure sensor breaks often and has to be reset by an Audi computer so it goes off for no reason then you have to take the car in to get the sensor turned off. The car is a pain.
accountCircle John Y
Audi's a4 remains one of the nicest-driving entry-luxury cars on sale today.
The a4 gets an EPA-rated 27 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway when equipped with front-wheel drive. That is excellent for a luxury small car. A4 models with all-wheel drive are rated at 24/32 mpg city/highway, which is still quite good. Really love it.
accountCircle Kadels S
There are plenty of better options out there - less expensive, or pricey but more worthwhile.
I hate that the turbo causes a lag when pulling out and that the car will go the wrong way sometimes when I put it into gear. I also hate how expensive it is to maintain, even though it is a regular car.
accountCircle Rachel S
Audi review issues after 100k miles.
Once it hits 100k+ miles many parts need replaced. Also, sensors become faulty after awhile and will turn in even if nothing is wrong. Lastly, tires need replaced yearly or every other year if you purchase premium tires. Despite these consistent issues, it is been a decent car, just expensive to fix.
accountCircle Paul B
It's a great brand and if you care about luxury and social status then it's for you
I love how it drives and it's extremely comfortable. I don't care too much of how ridiculously expensive it can be to fix it.
accountCircle Andrea O
This year and model has an issue with the amount of oil it burns. Oil burns.
The car drives very smooth. Handles extremely well in bad weather. Gas mileage in the city because of the turbo... Is around 20 but it does pretty good on highways. The car burns oil way too fast. I believe they should have had a recall on this year and model.
accountCircle William B
It takes a lot of oil consumption which can be annoying.
I like the fact it is nice and stylish and drives well. It is a smooth ride. However it chews a lot of oil.

2010 Audi a4 - great performance, but be wary of engine problems.
The performance of an Audi is great - ride is very smooth, picks up speed very easily, and is amazing in the snow. The maintenance can be expensive, however, if you find a good mechanic, other than Audi dealership this is the best way to go. Only warning I have is ensure that you check the year for engine issues. Certain Audi a4s, including mine, are known for engine failure due to oil consumption issue and if not under warranty, this is a huge cost.
accountCircle Chelsea F on April 3, 2021
It is very sleek and compact. Perfect for a smaller person.
Overall this is a great car however the older models do not come equipped with a backup camera. While they do come with Bluetooth for phone calls, the car will not allow any music to play through the car using Bluetooth. If you wish to hear music on your phone you have to plug your phone into the auxiliary cord which is in the glove compartment. The cord is not very long so you are forced to leave your phone in the glove compartment while you are driving which can be frustrating when trying to use maps or follow other directions. Not to mention if you wish to change the song.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Gerardo G.

Quick response from 0 to 60. Handling on the corner is very smooth. The seats of the vehicle are very comfortable and the radio components are easy to access. The space on the truck is very spacious for a sedan.

likeFilled Polly G.

It has a beautiful and comfortable interior. I love the wood grain and leather seats. Heated seats are amazing. It has easy to use media options. I love the sunroof. It has quattro which is great for the snow.

likeFilled Bryce K.

It is rather fuel efficient. It has a navigation system in the center of the dashboard as well as in the center of the instrument cluster. Unique led headlights and taillights. Sleek design. Smooth ride.

likeFilled Lindsey S.

Some pros include the interior and limited features. New cars all come with upgrades that are now standard but come with an extra price tag. The 2010 models feel updated without all of the features you might not use or want.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Gerardo G.

Interior liner is very weak and keep falling from the roof on the inside on the back part. Wheels are losing their coat after taking it to the car wash. Need better paint on the front of the vehicle, chip really easy.

dislikeFilled Polly G.

There are not any cooling seats in this make/model that I own. I have frequent issues with tires holding the correct air pressure. The make/model that I own does not have a navigation system. The only other thing I wish it had is a full sized spare and a better jack.

dislikeFilled Bryce K.

It can be prone to some electrical issues. It can be rather difficult to perform home maintenance on. Repairs can be costly, especially through the dealer. Requires premium gas, leading to costly fill-ups at the pump.

dislikeFilled Lindsey S.

Being that it is an Audi, the repairs and maintained are costly. For example, the tires are expensive to replace, and since the vehicle is all wheel drive, they need to be replaced in sets of 2 or 4. The oil is also synthetic, which is more expensive as well.

Is The 2010 Audi A4 A Good Car?

Yes. It has been a great vehicle with a surprisingly low upkeep. The biggest problems have been that the oil leaks or dries up and I have to refill the oil often.

Not really. Looks great but burns oil I'm insane amounts. There was a product recall on them and the previous owner apparently never brought it in to be fixed and then the dealership I got this one at... Read More

Excellent! Audi owner for life! She scoots in any weather. So fun to drive! Expensive to maintain if you use the dealership.
Alexandra H.

How Reliable Is The 2010 Audi A4?

Yes. The oil leaks or dries up on a pretty consistent basis. Also the check engine light comes on even when there are no problems.
J M.
Stayed in previous questions answer. Make sure if you intended to purchase you make sure the problem with the car burning through oil was fixed
Leann M.
No issues at this time. They all need timing belts around 150k miles so save up for that. Takes premium gas no exceptions!
Sharon S.

Is The 2010 Audi A4 A Good Value?

It was about 20,000 and but I bought it about 7 years ago. I would say it is not a great value because there are not a lot features.
J M.
I bought mine for 12,000 and if the oil problem would have been fixed then I think the value would've been great
