2011 Audi A4 User Reviews

Pros

Wagons should all look this good and drive this well

Cons

New Pirelli tires are short-lived, not available with a manual shift in US (*WHY?!?*)

Purchased As New

This is the best-looking wagon on the market today. I get compliments every week on this car. It really is the best all-weather, all-conditions car I've ever owned by a wide margin. Bags of grip in the worst of Midwest weather with Quattro AWD and latest-generation traction control give incredible confidence. With snow tires on it, I can honestly say I'll never need an SUV unless I move to the boondocks. The 4-cylinder turbo engine has 211 HP and 258 lb-ft of torque, meaning it will accelerate up a steep interstate on-ramp like my old Mustang (!), yet still has impressive gas milage. The interior, fit and finish is far better than any of my dad's GM purchases. Really comfortable on long drives, and the sunroof is massive! The most expensive repair was a new turn signal bulb. Everything else was under warranty. The update of the engine management programming with the local Audi dealer was fast, and done during an oil change. Biggest disappointments? It wasn't available with a manual transmission in the US. Why?!? At least it has F1-style paddle shifters (pretty fun, actually). And you need to feed it expensive gas. The Pirelli tires that come on it from the factory are short-lived summer rubber, and needed replacement pretty fast, too. In the end, It is all worth it. I'll keep it until it finally keels over, or give it to my kids. Or grandkids....read morehide

Cons

None

After trading my 2003 A8 for a new A4 I was not sure if I was going to like the ride and more limited cabin room of the A4. Nevertheless, after driving it for a few days I realized that the size of the car and its much sportier suspension where probably the main reasons I started to like the car so much. Every time I am behind the wheel, I can feel the entire car, like it is an extension of myself. I never had so much control over the vehicle while driving it. Driving it is a lot of fun. The turbo is very smooth and gives you just enough boost whenever you need it. Even the manual Tiptronic mode feels like a true manual transmission. Gas mileage - 24 m/g in the city. I love this car!...read morehide

Pros

Excellent handling, Fit-and-Finish, Comfort

Cons

Oil burns at a fast rate, Complicated to Maintain

Purchased As New

2010 Audi A4. Excellent vehicle overall, especially on long-distance trips. Another post referenced how the A4 burns through oil. Our car has the same issue. Time will tell if this is masking bigger problems, or is as Audi claims. I've also discovered on other Audi forums that the engine gets a large amount of carbon buildup w/i the cylinders. If true, this would cause problems with performance & mileage. Again, time will tell. In the meantime, it is an awfully fun car to drive....read morehide

Pros

Looks great, headlights, NAV system, fuel economy

Cons

Stiff ride, jerky and slow acceleration off the line.

Purchased As New

This car looks great and the interior is beautiful. The NAV is one of the best on the market. My biggest issue with the car is the jerky acceleration when you step on the gas. It's awful. There's a major lag and delay when you want to go fast off the line. It bothers me so much that I'm going to sell my car. I have two other friends with the A4 and they both complain about the same issues. I told the dealership about my complaint and they said everyrhing was fine with the car. Hmmm...even another customer in line at the dealership with an A4 said he had the same issues!...read morehide

Pros

Looks great, drives great, great value for a luxury vehicle, has good power

Cons

Wish it had a multi-disc cd player

Purchased As New

I just purchsed this vehicle and I absolutely love it. Im reading some of the reviews on this car and some of the people who are submitting reviews do not even own it.. Dont write a review on a car that you do not own.
The car is classy, powerful, previously drove a sports car and the power and speed is comparable, sports car obviously handles better but the speed and power are there. If you want a luxury vehicle for an affordable price, the Audi A4 is for you.....read morehide

Pros

Eye catching vehicle with great performance

Cons

the rear cup holder is too small to hold a bottle of water or soda

Purchased As New

This is a great looking car that gets good fuel economy and great power with its turbo charged four cylinder engine. It also has one of the best interiors and dash displays than most other vehicles in it's class. The tiptronic transmission allows you to drive in automatic, sport or you can shift through the gears, making it fun to drive on hilly or winding roads. It's offers the fun of driving a sports car combined with the features of a luxury vehicle....read morehide

Pros

drives much better than previous audi a4

Cons

jerks a little

Purchased As New

this is my third a4 my first was the 2004, then the 2008 and just last week i purchased the quattro 2011. it drives much smoother than my 2008, the interior is beautiful and it comes with a lot more options than previous model. the price is good, and the best thing about audi is that it is a great car, and brand name but the market is not flooded with them. sometimes i am on the road, and my audi is the only one there. bmw, mercedes and lexus are everywhere. my new ride makes me stand out and i love it!...read morehide
