Audi A4

Complete confidence in this car

Advantages: Its simplicity
Disadvantages: Boot shape

I chose a P reg Audi A4 earlier this year when I needed a suitable car for my sales rep job. Since March I have travelled over 20,000 miles taking overall mileage to 155,000 - and not had a single problem. Fuel consumption is excellent - 600 miles out of a tank costing approx £45-50 to fill (depending on diesel price obviously!). What really surprised me was how EASY it is to do things like change bulbs in both front and rear lights - even I could ...
...long distances - and oh - it can certainly shift when you put your foot down to get past those lorries too!!!! Please note - I have not yet dealt with Audi Dealers so can't comment on Customer Service - I have a local garage who has all my custom! ...

Review of Audi A4 1.9 TDI

Audi A4 1.8T S Line 2004

Advantages: Driveability, Good Looks.
Disadvantages: Common Faults (But are not expensive to fix)

Just upgraded to the Audi A4 1.8T S Line a few weeks ago from my Audi Cab 2.6 V6. I thought I was going to miss the power of the V6, how wrong i was!. The 1.8T with 190bhp is a quick machine and once the turbo kicks in you have hot hatch power in a saloon. These cars are ripe for tuning by way of ECU remapping, air filters, diverter valves and a number of other products which will increase BHP and torque. The S Line trim with the extra body deeper ...
...going over the top. On the interior the aluminum trimmings along with the half leather sports seat are classy and comfortable for long journeys. The suspension is stiff but solid on country road. Some things that go wrong in this model although these may have been rectified in the 2004 onward models are ignition coil failures, Mass airflow sensor can get dirty and blocked up, boost sensor. Most of these would be diagnosed by reading the ECU for ...

Review of Audi A4 1.8T

Audi A4 Avant 2.4

Advantages: Built to last, Built to drive and built to enjoy
Disadvantages: A little heavy on petrol - aim for a Diesel iy you want to pinch pennies

Built like a tank, extrememly comfortable to drive and goes like stink. Excellent gadgets, interior to exterior visibility, comfort, handling and a great sound system too. Only down side is that the MPG is a bit heavy (mine is a 2.4 SE V6), and that those with chunkier thighs may get a bit of a bash as the central console is a bit high. Possible the best car I have driven, well beyond that of BMW tourings, Range Rovers, Land Rovers, Merc estates ...
...as a used car if you're looking for a slightly newer Megane or Focus estate or similar as the depreciation will save yourself a fortune. Great for a family of 4, and even a dog. Will go on forever and I'm intending on keeping mine until I keel over!!! ...

Review of Audi A4 Avant 2.4

The Fast and the Economical

Advantages: Great Look, Speedy, Great Fuel Consumption, Sporty Feel, Nice Interior
Disadvantages: Colour Coded Bumpers aren't standard

...= 10/10 The audi company is extremly friendly and helped greatly when our door got rammed in, we got a courtesy car which was just as great and it didn't take very long to fix and replace the door at all. Security = 9/10 As with all audis the car has great security features including alarm, wheel lock, immobilitsation, tow away stoppers, and more. The car also features a great little thing that turns the sensitivity ...
...trigger alarms when they're in the vehicle. Looks = 10/10 This car has great modern styling which looks great, this includes stulish swept back headlights and fog lights and it also includes slightly flared wheel arches and great little details done with crome and other modern materials, the only problem is that the colour coded bumpers will cost you a bit more but they are worth the price for sure. Features = 10/10 ...

Review of Audi A4 2.5 TDI

Understated style

Advantages: Power, Style without the 'lookatme' factor
Disadvantages: Licence Buster, Expensive to run

...this class, I find the Audi a very satisfying drive. My model is fitted with the sports suspension pack, which improves the already excellent handling, albeit at the expense of a small increase in road vibration. Don't take this the wrong way - road humps (speed bumps / sleeping policemen) can still be taken at around 20 -25 MPH if you so desire. One option I wish the vehicle was fitted with is Traction Control. Having such a powerful engine, allied ...
...the V6 engine in the Audi took a bit of getting used to, especially as it was delivered in winter. The fuel economy of the vehicle is average for an engine of this size. I expect to see around 260 miles on a tank of 65 litres, this is a 30 / 70 mix of town and motorway crusing (~90MPH). This is with the air conditioning on all the time - turning this to ECON mode will save fuel at the expense of misty windows and a decidely stuffy atmosphere. I ...
