Maybe it's just me, but I find this car extremely appealing on the outside. Calm, yet aggressive, sporty, yet luxurious. Just beautiful timeless design. One of the best looking cars to me!

Best looking interior in the class imo.
The problem with the A4 and many Audis in general is that they look too bland on the outside and don't look expensive. Aside from the A7, A8, and of course R8. It actually needs more distinguishing characteristics from its VW cousin. In the looks department, it lags far behind the C class, Lexus and BMW. They had their chance again for 2017 but only changed what looks like 10 percent of the exterior.

+W-_-T While I appreciate your comments, I like the conservative look and feel Audi styling offers. The Lexus is way too busy with the front end and too many angles around the car. BMW and Porsche pretty much do the same thing as Audi as there isn't a huge change in style between the series. Given, the A4, A6 are similar in their design elements, (excluding the TT, A5, A7, A8, Q7 and R8) you really are only talking about two models?

Yes great comment. It's 2016 and Audi instead of offering more standard-equipment like the Jaguar XE does, it has the cheek to even cut back on it's losses!! For such a conservative (and dated with the sloping front-grille) exterior, you would have though either leather or VC came as standard to provide that 'bling' factor in Audi's token of generosity way they usually employ but,, nooope!! Throwing lots of SE at slightly lower price-points is the 1 thing Audi had as a deal-maker but even that has vanished now crazy!

even lexus offers way more standard equipment though, and looks far more distinguished both inside and out and looking on the roads, the IS is clearly selling more than audi's new model
In UK manual cars are still common I like that
I've found a cure for insomnia. Thanks Audi designers..
Almost fell asleep when they showed the exterior!
I would challenge the MPG figures. My 64 plate A4 ultra was due to give around 65 mpg but hovers around the 55 mark. Not that surprised with their obvious priorities of selling units rather than customer honesty. Has auto trader managed to check the mpg actually vs the advertised figures?
This is the same car that is also sent to CarBuyer; manual gearbox, classic dials and fabric upholstery.

+ashfaque ahmed Audi send 'press fleet cars' to different press teams, for reviewing purposes. The same car will end up being reviewed by several different teams.
why didn't the Test Car not feature the Virtual Cokpit
I firmly believe that the Audi enigineers, simply can't keep up with the creativity of BM and Merc engineers. They just do a lower grade replica of BMW, a year after an innovation is presented by top rivals.

Man you have to got the virtual cockpit, it is the best thing for this car. Definitely go for the sline model for the line led and avoid this horrible alloy wheel.

0:5-025 It's a standard(typical) introduction of an A4 review from every journalist and every magazine for as long as i can remember. Either Bmw is leaping ahead with every new generation of the 3 series or you guys don't know what you're talking about(i bet it's the latter).Enough already, different cars for different people, audi don't need to "catch up" each brand has their customers.
Is Audi a reliable brand? Will this a4 hold up past its warranty or will it have costly repairs? Thanks

It will hold up exceptionally well, no major issues or negative long term effects from driving. Take care of this vehicle it will surely last very long

Jonathan Haddad VW & Audi are built to last types of cars, if you fail to take car of the car eventually everything will break down at once i.e.. ***** And of course he DOES NOT know anything about Mercedes. He simply looks at the price of things without experience and claims it has poor reliability.

Jonathan Haddad BMW's are really good performance vehicles. Benz's are tough but like BMW you have to really keep a close eye on small parts fuel pump etc. Like a Porsche, I wouldn't recommend it but you can get away with abusing an Audi and drive no major issues for long amounts of time

yes the new a6 is here....what this is the A4 !!! wow so similar but still different.
This review on the 2016 just came out. Why review the 2016 when the 2017 just came out?
That steering wheel looks huge was it taken from a Lorry?

I see BMW have manipulated figures by changing exhaust temperatures during lab testing on their 2 ltr diesel for Euro 6 cars but that was to 'prevent damaging the engine', they claimed. Very clever from BMW, but honestly whichever way you look at it, in its basic form, it's still cheating as real world figures show 320d NOx still 5 times over what BMW claim. It's a good job we don't all like BMWs as there are too many on the road already. It's common where I live.

an '8' or shudder,, above in the 0-60 time is utterly criminal very bad; stick with the Jag or big C; they are 7.4sec on the base-eco model!!
This is not the best specced version. It does not even have the unique features audi brought forward in the a4 in 2016.. Why are you reviewing a lower trim A4 ?? :/
@netweed09
7 жыл бұрын
why not? the thing at base spec costs a bomb anyway, Audi are either plain stupid or just drunk to make a base-spec that lacks so many standard features - and it's showing on the roads,, it's selling like crap Audi need to man-up, it's 2016 - outright Quality isn't everything now, you need quantity too. Hopefully they will learn their lesson next time but with spiraling C-class and BMW3 sales, it may be a bit too late,,, oh well!
