Definitely have to agree with all the points made in this review. I test drove this vehicle, it really is an excellent vehicle for the money. Some of the interior buttons need an upgrade, my 2008 Audi TT conv., has the same exact dated steering well controls. BMW is also guilty with really dated bland interiors.
@Slimecrazy234 I'm with you on this one Buddy. To me FWD says economy, which is not the case in Mercedes and BMW, and for those who can't afford them there are some cheaper Japanese options.
@stevehammes I traded a 2008 E90 for a 2012 A3 Sportback, since new 3 series don´t look very good, and they are damn expensive, even if I liked them wouldn´t have the cash for one. But also agree on BMW interiors. Although the F30 interior is nicer than the E90 (which honestly felt kind of cheap to me), I really love what Audi does with the interior of the cars. Really nice A4. Only thing I don´t like is the accelerator pedal, rather have them emerging from the floor than from the dashboard.
I would've bought the A4 if I hadn't stumbled across a G37s Limited Edition. Overall, I'm happy I went with the Infiniti. The A4 is a little bit too ubiquitous around these parts and feature for feature, the G37 is a better bargain in some respects.
@tjbrown17320 The best automatic dual clutch transmissions, like those from Audi/VW are so good that I rarely miss a stick. But in general...like with a Corvette or Mustang, I'll take a manual for sure.
@stevehammes Also at the same time, BMW looks to be timeless with their exteriors. Now, currently if I had a choice for a German luxury vehicle, I'd look at Audi.
I've never understood who drives these cars the way it's spec'd out ? Maybe 10% of the time, but where CAN you drive them aggressively and NOT get a ticket? After paying for premium fuel, equipped with AWD, Turbo, performance tires/suspension, etc...who needs all these? And for $38k+? This is not a car for racing on streets or a track-it's too nice!
@LeadHammer Right on. I was a little surprisd by that myself. That's why I mentioned the sports differential being available for the S4.
Its awesome how you always seem to review the cars I'm interested in like I was just into the 300c srt8 then ctsv and now a4/s4 or a5/s5
The A5 is a GREAT looking car, for sure.

@droppinsumfudge The A4 was the first "sedan" to have it.
Zomg! Thank you for the review. I love you Steve. No homo.
@Jferrari427 Completely agree. BMW is falling behind in their exterior styling as well...starting to look "old" instead of "classic."

It looks very purposeful. And I mean that in a positive way.
Can you plase do a review on the 2011 lexus is350? That would be grateful.thank you.

@itsTiLER No formula for success, really. Right place at the righ time kind of thing...plus a car and TV background.

turn them fog lights of booi
Noooo they're beautiful!!!
The exterior looks bigger than a compact sedan. Is it smaller up close and in real life?
This white A4 visually looks wider, longer, and bigger overall compare to a black one.
Am I able to change the odometer to show my speed digitally?
Yes
Daniel Johnson how?
i know this is a strange question, but how big is this class of cars compared to say, an Accord or Altima?
please someone reply, does this car need premium gas? or just reg??
Hareem Zain premium.
Premium
premium!!!
Premium Plus this one
How is the drive test from 1 to 10?

Its amazing how this car has an 8 speed and there are other cars out there with a 4 speed.
Funny how accurate that was back in 2012/2011, but now we have economy cars with 10 speed automatics
I love audi's but i think 40k is too much for this model. Time to step it up AUDI!
they start at low $50s now lol
Man I hate how expensive this car is here then in America, u guys can get this for around 10k while I can get it for like 25k
so steve, how does one get a job such as yours?
@SoulElitex It really depends, Japanese car is cheap and plastic, that's why cost less to repair, but they are crap, keep that in mind
Definitely
It's still FWD and has largely FWD proportions. Sorry but if I'm buying a compact executive sport sedan it needs to be RWD to start.
It’s all time Quattro 60 40 split
I'll take this A4 over a BMW 3-series. If you're not careful on how you option a 3-series, it'll knock near $50K.
Now if they can make em reliable..

Diesel option is really fuel efficient
It is fast enough
i thought the r8 started the LED fad, then it was the A5...
@stevehammes ah ok
no s4 avant, damn you audi usa :( :( :(
get a camera and test drive a car! then upload it.
