2012 Audi A4 User Reviews

Pros

Hot looking, good MPG

Cons

Expensive

Purchased As New

I bought a 2012 A4 Prestige S-Line, complete with all the bells and whistles. I love the features that this car comes with, pretty much everything. It does come with a price. The Prestige package cost me an extra $9,500. MSRP for an A4 starts at 32k, I walked out the door at about 47k.

Other than the car being pricey, I do love the MPG it gets with the 2.0T. My previous car, a Saab 9-3 Aero, would only manage to get 16 MPG city. In the Audi, I average around 23-25.

I chose a manual for the sport car effect, and the clutch is ever so smooth.

I live on the East Coast and the car came with 19" Summer Tires, instead of All Seasons. No problem, but just another thing to worry about come winter.

Look forward to the longevity of this car. Great ride, a real head turner, especially with the LED running lights....read morehide

Audio takes awhile to get used to.

Purchased As New

My first car purchase in this category, I went into it open minded, looking forward to trying some great models. BMW and Acura have thier known strengths, but the Audi has a nice balance between sport and luxury. Power is ample and refined, handling is quick and secure and MPG is good. The interior is excellent, comfortable and Euro sporty. It's a fine ride with class....read morehide

Pros

Very nimble, comfortable front seating, excellent on a long trip with quattro.

Cons

Sucks up gas, inside is hard to keep clean, MMI is not intuitive

Purchased As New

The handling while driving is excellent as is acceleration. Four wheel drive keeps you firmly on the road, However the MMI still drives me crazy; milage is really 15 city and 22 highway; and for the price Audi scrimps: you don't even get a self dimming rearview mirror. This will be my first and last Audi....read morehide

Purchased As New

I test drove Mercedes, BMW, Toyota and Infiniti before deciding to go with the A4 Premium Plus. Metrics were ride quality, looks, engine performance and options. It was not the best in all categories but consistently was the one I compared others to.
Love the 8 speed transmission, super smooth. I look forward to my drive to work everyday now!...read morehide

Purchased As Not Purchased

I had a terrible past exper. owning a late model VW Jetta, like many others have, owning a VW product and trying to keep them running and dealing with the terrible service depts $$$$$. This Audi looks/drives like a great car! i won't consider buying it because cost of services as car gets off warranty....that is a deal killer for sure! i'll buy a Acura, lexus, Honda or Toyota so servicing will be much more reasonable!...read morehide
