2006 Audi A4

Pros: Interior, styling, power from 4 cyl engine, Quattro, etc...

Cons: Aluminum trim reflections, large key fob, poor dealer service, no multi-function computer on base model

The Bottom Line: A top contender for entry level luxury sedan, this car offers performance, luxury, styling, and safety in a small package.

Review: Let me first begin by saying that this is an excellent car. Audi has taken some major leaps forward with the new B7 model A4 and they may have the best small luxury vehicle out there with this car. If you are looking at the 3-Series or C-Class then...

Pros: More power, power seats with memory, rain sensing wipers, dual xenon lights.

Cons: Had to be fixed right away, unusual steering, hard to control initial acceleration.

The Bottom Line: I think 2006 A4 is the best option right now in the class of all wheel drive near-luxury sedan. Looking forward to the BMW 325xi coming out.

Review: I just picked up my new 2006 A4 a couple of weeks ago with most of the conveniences offered (except the navigation system and the ski sack).

I drove the two previous A4 models (2001 and 2003), so my review will concentrate mainly on the...

Pros: 2.0T combines fun performance with reasonable fuel economy. Interior feels like a million bucks.

Cons: Throttle tip-in, but not a problem once you get acclimated to the car.

The Bottom Line: Even the base engine option produces a surprisingly fun and upscale automobile that likes to have fun when a spirited driver takes the wheel.

Review: I recently had a warranty repair completed on my 2002 Audi S8. That car, which I purchased used in 2005, originally sold for right around $80,000. It has Audi's 4.2 liter 40-valve V8 specially tuned to crank out more torque and horsepower than the...

Pros: Great traction with snow tires and Quattro. Cool features in the premium package.

Cons: Way overpriced. Avoid the automatic transmission. Poor fuel economy for a 4 cylinder engine.

The Bottom Line: Don't buy this car - it is overpriced for what you get. There are much better cars for significantly less money available.

Review: Sorry to dissent, but what a disappointment my Audi A4 Quattro 2.0 T has been. The biggest problem for me is the automatic transmission combined with the the 4 cylinder engine. The transmission insists on shifting way too soon (to improve fuel...

Pros: Nice interior, smooth V6, confident handling

Cons: Heavy, tight back seat, limited up-front storage space

The Bottom Line: It's a heavy, solid-feeling sedan with a smooth engine, well-appointed interior, and confident all-wheel drive handing. Not perfect, but a fine car none-the-less.

Review: My Search:

Before I get to the actual review, I just want to give some context as to what kind of car I am looking for in terms of needs and preferences. This was you ll have a better basis for how my opinion may or may not fit with...

Pros: Fuel economy, capable and predictable handling, fun acceleration, PERCEIVED quality

Cons: ACTUAL quality - squeaks & rattles, road noise, engine noise.

The Bottom Line: Do not buy this car to own. There are some great lease deals available, though - go for one of those and it's great!

Review: So why do I qualify 'fun car' with 'to lease'? Because everything I have learned of Audi over the years even before I leased this car pointed me toward Audi being a relatively unreliable car manufacturer. My experiences thus far have caused me to...

Pros: Comfortable and adequate power

Cons: Too big to be a true sports car

The Bottom Line: Perfect merge of sport and luxury.

Review: This car marked my entrance into the luxury car market and I have to say that Audi has hit a gold mine with this car. It perfectly bridges the comforts of leather seats, fancy trim, and Bose audio system with the power of a 2.0 liter turbo engine...

Pros: Handles wonderfully, controls are intuitive, sleek styling, leather is smooth and clean, fuel efficient

Cons: Voice commands poor, cup holders awkward, cannot disable heated seat controls in rear for kids

Review: I have driven in all conditions but snow. Handles great. Have used the ABS and it stops immediately. Have enjoyed having the car and would buy Audi again. The value, performance, and styling combined make it a no brainer. The dealer sold us the...

Pros: Very good or great in all categories-MPG, lighting, performance, fit and finish.

Cons: Expensive. More autobahn than autocross.

The Bottom Line: A very good, sporty, and economical luxury wagon. If you want high-tech AWD, there are no other good choices.

Review: Six Month Review

First, a warning. Your local dealer will be a huge part of your ownership experience. If you have a bad dealer (as I do), you will regret owning this car. Be sure to verify your dealer's reputation via online forums, the...

Pros: Styling. Good engine power and torque. All weathers traction. Decent handling.

Cons: Light steering and not as sharp as rival. Awkward auto-transmission. Heavy chassis (Quattro).

The Bottom Line:

If you looks for all weather traction and luxury, this should match your need. Get an V6 if refinement is one of your concern.
