A great car that adds luxury to your daily drive.
Reliable and comfortable. Good performance, moderate performance in winter/snow as snow tends to build up behind the wheels and cause sliding. City fuel efficiency is comparable. Expensive upkeep (oil changes, filter changes, etc.), sometimes difficult to find a more affordable place that will be able to work on the car, being foreign.

The Audi A4 is a fun car to drive despite being the basic model.
The vehicle is extremely comfortable and performance-wise it is fantastic. However, since it was a basic model, I am not able to play music through bluetooth and do not have backup camera.

FUN TO DRIVE AS WELL AS STYLISH.
LIKE THE PERFORMANCE AND ACCELERATION OF THE CAR.
accountCircle Jessica L
Comfort and reliability stand out.
The engine gave me problems from the beginning but everything else has been great. I have been taking it to the service every 6 months. The comfort level is great and the size is also perfect since its in the middle (not too big and not too small). I really like it.
accountCircle Linsey I
The best car I have ever owned.
Overall the car has exceeded my expectations. It drives smoothly and the speakers are loud and have a good base. The seats are also super comfy. Another thing that I really like about this car is that there are no blind spots so it is easy to look at your surroundings.
accountCircle Renee C
Neat, premium, nice feel to it.
It has good mileage and the overall interior is luxurious and premium. Sometimes it can have problems but I make sure to keep up with it.
accountCircle Renee F
Style and engineering have combined to make a classic vehicle.
It is beautiful and wonderfully made. It is very safe and comfortable. It is sporty but also made for families. I have no complaints.
accountCircle Sky R
Smooth ride all day and night.
The car itself is incredibly smooth. It is so smooth that you actually have to be careful with how fast you are going since you won't even feel it. The s-line looks very nice, and I feel that it is definitely worth the extra money. The air conditioning in the back is not the best, but it is good enough.

Negative Owner Reviews

Do not buy this car if you live in Texas.
It has a very high cost to operate, tires have to be replace every 30k and cost $1200. A new battery is $400. The car has had numerous recalls. Service at the dealer is very overpriced. It takes premium fuel. It is fun to drive and handles well on the open road, but around here the roads are rough with many potholes and this car really suffers.
accountCircle Cynthia T
Audi, not all its advertised to be.
Low performance vehicle, with fairly good gas mileage but uncomfortable to drive for long distances tires are expensive servicing is expensive and I have to drive more than 80 miles to a dealership. It is too low to the ground and night driving everyone's headlights are at eye level. The ride is very stiff and you can feel every bump on the road.
accountCircle Steven W
This car is too expensive to own.
It is too expensive to maintain. Dealer oil change costs $200 and a new battery is $450. It took a new set of tires at 30,000 miles and they cost $1200. Had to change spark plugs at 30,000 miles. Also it has a small oil leak which is going to cost a fortune to fix.
accountCircle Larry P
My four wheeled love.It's battery is malfunctioned now a days for some reason.
It's great car. Has good mileage. Handling is nice . I love my car. But it has a few problems though. Like sometimes taking time in getting started . Or in need of a new battery in short time. Well it's been 5 years I am driving this car. So a few problems are bound to happen. But I am satisfied.
accountCircle Linda S
My car is a black Honda Accord.
Really comfortable. Everything works perfectly fine. Has leather seats, has air conditioning and heat, has AUX cords and their is no lights on the dash, all tires are in great condition, has a lot of bumper stickers, has a sunroof and big trunk space.
accountCircle Sara B
Great car, if you can dump a lot of money into it.
It has amazing performance, comfort, style, tech, it is fast! But fixing it is a real pain! Ever since we have hit 70, 000 it is breaking down and it is a beast to go and fix it. We also do not have an Audi dealership closer than 2 hours from my house so even just taking it in for an annual is hard.
accountCircle Marie L
You pay for what you get.
Vehicle runs smoothly, price for keep-up is what you would expect for a German-made car. The lack of options to keep self-maintenance is what makes these car more luxury, as you will have to pay the premium to ensure that its still running past 50k miles.
accountCircle Lisa R
Ask about repairs, cost of parts, oil consumption, cost of oil change, etc.
Oil guzzler. Putting oil in every other week. Rides smoothly. A lot of legroom. Good on gas for mileage.

I think my Audi is a classic car.
My Audi is such a beautiful and classic car, but a 4 is a bit small and when the parts are busted, it will cost an arm and leg to replace. I truly love the classic design since I get attention from time to time, but the only concern is that it gets a flat every easily and the car is a bit too light with the steering wheels and it is not as solid.
accountCircle Ariana A on April 24, 2021
Fast, fun, beautiful and reliable.
It is fast, classy, fun, beautiful and reliable. Although, one thing that is annoying is the amount of oil it burns. I have nothing further to state in this auto review. Again, I have nothing further to state. I have nothing further or no other statements for this review.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Jill H.

The vehicle drives extremely well and has great gas mileage. It is easy to turn quickly or slam on the breaks if needed. The only con I can think of is that the radio has not been working and will periodically make a very loud popping sound that scares everyone riding in the car.

likeFilled Savannah B.

My vehicle is gas efficient, it is safe and has a good range of sight while driving with limited blind spots. It is fast and has great acceleration. It comes with heated seats in the driver and front passenger seats. The backseat has three seats that are fairly roomy and comfortable with the ability for backseat passengers to control their own air flow and temperature.

likeFilled Joseph H.

First, I love the look of the car. I love Audi's exterior aesthetic and body design. Second, the car handles great and is pretty reliable in terms of performance overall. Simply put, the car offers luxury and performance at a reasonable price.

likeFilled Sueann B.

Very smooth riding and dependable. It can be expensive to maintain however. It is quite spacious and the seats fold to utilize car for hauling or moving things. I haven't had to replace too many parts or repairs other than routine maintenance.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Jill H.

Like I wrote on the last page, the only issue I have had with the car is the loud popping sound that the radio periodically makes when driving, and I am not sure how to fix this. Otherwise, I cannot think of any cons of the car. It drives very well.

dislikeFilled Savannah B.

There is no remote start so during the colder times of the year, you must physically go turn the car on to heat up. It requires the most premium gasoline option, making gas a bit more expensive than most other cars.

dislikeFilled Joseph H.

The cons of the vehicles I think are pretty minimal. It does not have all the bells and whistles in terms of performance and amenities that a more expensive luxury brand offers. In addition, it often has little things in which it needs to be services often, ranging from the tires to the coils.

dislikeFilled Sueann B.

Good on gas ride like a champ. Spacious has folding seats. Smooth ride. Very roomy and lots of legroom for the taller people. Great in the rain and snow. Traction keeps you from sliding all over the road.

Is The 2014 Audi A4 A Good Car?

Yes it is a good vehicle. I enjoy driving it although I enjoy my truck more because I am short and my truck sits me up where I can see better.
Rebekah R.
Yes it is - of the four or five cars I have owned (including more expensive models) it is definitely my favorite. It is well designed, has high performance and is a very comfortable ride.
Andrew D.
Yes, my favorite vehicle I have driven. The car is very safe and picks up nicely. It has not had any problems even though Audi gets a bad rep.
Stephen S.
It's ok, doesn't get as good of gas mileage as I hoped. I miss the remote start my Chrysler had & the air conditioning vents are in the wrong locations.
Tia K.

How Reliable Is The 2014 Audi A4?

So far the Audi a4 is reliable although I have only had it a year and I bought it used and within 2 weeks it had to go back to the dealer for some major repairs.
Rebekah R.
It is the most reliable car that I have owned. I take it for an annual check but have never required and serious maintenance in 5 years and have never had an issue between annual checks.
Andrew D.
The A4 is very reliable. There were a few problems with the engine but nothing that was not easy to fix.
Meg M.
The check engine light keeps coming on. The transmission seems to take too long to engage. And I wish it had bumpers, I don't like all the plastic parts.
Mary V.

Is The 2014 Audi A4 A Good Value?

My Audi a4 was extremely overpriced but I unfortunately did not shop around and found out after purchase. Dumbest mistake ever and one I will never make again.
Rebekah R.
Definitely good value. If I remember correctly it cost about $50000 including options, or something around that amount.
Andrew D.
The A4 costs around $37,000 for a base model. For the size and the luxury vehicle it is, I feel this is a good value.
Cory N.
Its $465 a month and I think that is expensive for the quality of the car. I'm sure the insurance is more than an American made vehicle would be.
