Audi A4 reviews

My old Audi is now 15 years old, and I have had it for 5 years. I have never had such a reliable car and such a practical car. I'm just sad that it's now getting so old that I have to consider replacing it. Family commitments mean that I want something a little cheaper to run (Tax is high and the car does 32 to the gallon), and safer (3* EURO NCAP).

Excellent

My next car will be e newer version of this one,

Am very happy with this car with its superb build quality and reliability.At a total mileage of 113k have only decided to change it to secure better vehicle tax rate and fuel consumption

Not only is the car comfortable to drive it is solid and safe (as experienced when car was rear-ended on the A12 at high impact). Long drive from Essex to Scotland and exit the car without undue discomfort. Expensive to fill with fuel but economical on long distance drives. High end interior makes being a passenger a pleasant experience.

Generally I am pleased with the car as shown in ratings.However I am not too impressed with the electronic hand brake.

has been quite a good car without to many problems

This car is very practical for a family man with normal loads to carry (shopping, luggage etc) It is economical if one drives sensibly and can keep up with all traffic conditions. It has a "presence" on the road, and is easy to park and move around. Would I buy another? Yes.

Fun to drive, but thirsty (27 mpg) and expensive to service/repair if going to Audi

Not an exiting car to drive, in fact, it's quite boring. It does all it is meant to do but lacks "thrill". It has limited rear seat space compared to previous cars. I tried the A4 Black Edition and it the most uncomfortable car I have ever driven. Running costs are not bad but I wonder how they calculate the mpg! I don't speed and don't use motorways but the mpg achieved is well below that advertised. My next car will not be an Audi.

I have just got my new car and like it

I love this car but as my family has grown it seems to have shrunk in size!!! Its speed, comfort and reliability has seen us through many happy years. Thank you Audi

This car has been totally reliable in all aspects.

Mechanically, this is the best car I have ever owned. It's like driving on a magic carpet. It is a powerful motor car with excellent road-holding qualities, smooth transmission and a high level of comfort for both driver and passengers. It is not cheap to run however, which I expected, but the cost of fuel can be eye-wateringly high. My only problem with it is the lack of durability of the paintwork on the front grille. I've only had the car a year, and have had to repair numerous paint chips, a crack on the radiator grille, and a cover for a headlamp washer which fell off on the motorway after I struck a bird. The front of the car seems to be made of bone china rather than metal.

Much better fuel consumption than I was expecting (way better than my previous Vauxhall Insignia). Level of 'gadgets' and 'gizmos' a litte disappointing (again compared to my previous Insignia) - no heated front seats, no electric folding mirrors, no electric operated drivers seat adjustment, no automatic sensing main beam, no adaptive forward headlights. Does have DVD Player though which is useful when stuck in a long traffic jam. Big gripe about the car is the uncomfortable seats - absolutely awful after about an hours driving. Vauxhall seating was much comfier and could do a two hour drive without any problems whatsoever.

I bought my car 10 years specifically to keep for life, either the car's or mine. It's lasted very well, me not so well. It is a B6 model and to me this was the zenith of A4 development. Just the right size, practical, economical, reliable and to my eyes, very attractively styled. So good, that at the end of it's model life, Audi couldn't bring themselves to kill it.So they shipped the whole assembly line to Spain, where they still build it as the Seat Exeo. How's that for a testimonial?

Fast, comfortable , reliable, looks good. Thirsty if your'e heavy footed.

Good performance, very reliable, parts a bit expensive, but because of reliability, not often required. I use mine as a delivery vehicle, therefore high mileage and fairly heavy use, and it has never let me down. When cleaned it looks like a new car. Excellent!

An excellent & reliable car - the 4th Audi we have owned .

This is my second Audi A4 Avant both of which have been turbo Diesels. They have both been very reliable and both have done over 150,000 miles without any major problems and very few minor poblems. They are an ideal size for my needs, very well built, comfortable and I consider them to be a well designed and good looking car. I have two classic cars and the Auidi shows how far cars have progressed in terms all aspects over the last 50 years. My wife has a 'new' Fiat 500 and that is ideal for town running but the Audi is superb over long distances and we never feel any aches or pains after doing long distances in it. I would recommend the Audi A4 Avant to anyone wanting a 'small' estate type car that does not feel any different to driving a saloon type car. It just has more practicality and feels very safe especially when transporting our grandson about in it, along with pushchair etc. I have had it 're-mapped' (my previous one was too) and it now has lots more power, but with much improved economy too. It was doing around 44mpg 'overall' but now achieves much higher mpg in the high 50's and with the increased power it is much safer when overtaking or pulling onto motorways/dual carriageways etc. It shows how 'poor' the factory settings are in the name of 'reliability' to protect the manufacturers 'image'
