Audi A4 reviews

I have had this car for about 4 years, when purchased it had 80k on the clock it has now just turned over the 100k mark and still has that solid Audi feel about it . First the good bits I think the Quattro 4 wheel drive is great it puts its power down in all weathers and greatly improves the handling and where certain German saloon rivals for the same price are left struggling for grip the Audi just pulls away with no fuss. The Bose speakers are excellent delivering a good sound no matter what your taste in music . Most of the A4 s have climate as standard ,although if you want to save a bit on fuel I would keep the ECO button pressed unless your on a long motorway trip or one of our regular British heat waves descend. And if you like your toys you can search the internet find one with heated leather,sat nav ,cruise and 4 wheel drive with history for 5k and under. On the downside tax for mine is £290 a year and even if you drive like a vicar you will be lucky to average 26 to 28 mpg but mine has the 220 bhp petrol engine that makes it feel like a poor mans RS4 very nice ; )

Excellent vehicle especially with the boot space for our dog.

My audi convertible is a quality car with a quality build and a quality drive. I love it.

Not easy to service to compared to my last car (Toyota celica)

I was not really intending to buy a new car when I visited the dealer during a 'special' sales event but this car - the A4 SE Ultra - really impressed me so I did buy it! Since then I have continued to discover lots of minor improvements which really make it a superb vehicle. The engine is excellent, with good performance, frugal fuel use ( current average is 61 mpg ) and CO2 emission below 100 ( so currently no tax). The road holding, ride comfort and low cabin 'noise' is also superb. I'm lucky enough to have LED lighting on my model and this is so impressive - as is the interior LED pack although I'm not entirely convinced as I occasionally feel the number of light sources is a little distracting. The Sav Nav system continues the high standard and the continuous display of the max speed limit is very useful. Audio system is to a high standard - although the interface will not work with my elderly iPod despite the manual suggesting it should. Other devices have, however, proved to work well. After 5000 miles driving I am still enjoying everything the car offers - and little touches like a 'glove box' on the right-hand side of dash is an excellent bonus. I am still exploring the options of changing the ride dynamics but not totally convinced I can detect much change. All-in all I think it is one of the best purchase decisions I've ever made.

Car is very low down and I keep hitting my head on the rear tail gate door when it is open

Good car not any problems

Excellent for comfort reliability. Running costs can be a bit high but a car like this more than makes up for that in comfort reliability. Hard to find a better car in my opinion

this car is exactly what i wanted in a car its perfect for my needs

Very happy with this A4 purchased last weekend from Mex Motors. The car drives beautifully and is in very good condition for a 2003 model with only 51300 miles on the clock. Just find the brakes a little sharp. The service I received from Mex Motors was very good just that they forgot to sign the car service book to say that it had just been serviced. This they are willing to complete if I call in to their office. Ian Brear

Really please with this car

139,000miles and this car is still driving like brand new, best car i've owned by a long shot, servicing is more or less annually even with the mileage and i still smile with satisfaction when i've cleaned it, great looking car.

Quiet - no road noise, no wind noise, no engine noise, you can carry on a quiet conversation at high speed. Really comfortable, smooth ride. No silly computer controls to outwit the brainiest driver. Best car I have ever owned - I have owned dozens.

Had my car for nine years from new and it's caused me no bother at all. I've done 105000 miles with just the usual services. It has been excellent value for money

Excellent reliability but expensive to buy and high servicing costs and maintenance (for example, special order tyres required).Audi four wheel drive system provides excellent handling.

My 4 and 5 star ratings tell most of the story. The only niggling problem I have had is with the rear and brake lights, especially the latter. In the 30ish months I have had the car, I've had to replace brake lights at least 5 times, and rear lights 3.

I have found the car to be reliable and comfortable with enough power for all my needs with an average mpg of 39. The continuously variable transmission provides very smooth acceleration.

Just what we wanted - had Audi cantu is for 10 years - previous BMWs We enjoy its quick it's fun and it's reliable, and fuel economical (overall 30/35 mpg) BUT ugh Road Tax !!!!

Great car always had audis cost of fuel means can't use it as much as I want not the best economy in town but better on open road

Not too big body, but Spacious enough for me. Fast and good cornering capability. Good fuel consumption and quiet inside.
