2008 Audi A4 consumer reviews

Great car with awesome gas mileage. Interior wise, the middle console armrest is the stupidest thing about the car. I love the pickup of the car, but the handling feels a little too loose. The trunk space has very nice hooks for grocery bags to hang from, which are quite handy.

We love our Audi, but every 1,000 miles oil light goes on. We maintain it perfectly, but feel screwed that this problem exists. The dealership always adds free oil but never solves the problem. I will never own an Audi again...end of story. I hope other people read this before purchasing , it will save you a lot of headaches. We now have 48,000 miles...PATHETIC for a vehicle which costs over$30,000.

After about three months of going around dealerships and researching what car to buy the Audi A4 stood out as the best bang for the buck. I test drove many cars American, European, and Japanese. From the million choices that I had my favorite were Acura, Audi, BMW, Ford, Infiniti, Mercedes, and Volkswagen. From then on I compared all of course Ford and Volkswagen were still a BIG ? so I decided to stick to the rest. Most of these cars are very reliable and for that reason are very expensive but you will be surprised that some of these cars are actually very affordable. After comparing all of them side by side the Audi A4 was the best for me, with the gas price going sky high I need a car that got at least a decent gas mileage (AUDI A4 2.0T QUATTRO 21 MPG City and 27 MPG Highway). Suprisingly I got an average of 29.4 MPG City and Highway, with my 2008 A4 2.0T Quattro. Another big factor for me was the Quattro system as in Iowa we get big snow storms and it is hard to get around with a two wheel drive car. The 6 speed Automatic transmission is very smooth and will save you a lot of money on GAS. The interior is very nice and good quality, the leather seats are very durable and easy to keep clean. The only downside to the A4 is the the interior space is a bit small but then again how often do you have 4 people in your car. It is a great car for the money I would recommend it to anyone. I have TWO =) so trust me it will be money well spent. The re-sale values are amazing on this car. On my car the re-sale value is actually greater than what I paid for the car =))))) Test drive one and see what I'm talking about.

I purchased the A4 convertible. The handling is superb; it hugs corners with ease; there is no hesitation when extra power is needed with the 2.0 Turbo. The convertible top is well made and not flimsy. The roof mechanisms are smooth and quiet. It stops on a dime when needed. The amenities of soft leather seats, dual driver and passenger a/c and heater controls, Bose stereo system, the multi-position drivers seat with lumbar support, and the plethora of additional amenities is just too many to name. I have never been more happy with any other vehicle and I plan on purchasing more Audi's in the future.

I have the 3.2 cabriolet 2008 model and I really like it. I added 19" chrome rims and with the moro blue and tan rag it looks great. Drives well in the snow but this is my summer car and it does not see salt. Drives very well and sticks to the road. Performance is good but no through you on your back good. Cant slip it on a corner, but the car does leak water when in a laser washer, but not in regular rain, although Audi say it is OK to put through a laser washer. Biggest dissapointment is when you take it for a service, both Audi dealers in my area are rank amatures when it comes to servicing and customer care, always have been (10yr Audi experience for me) and even follow up by Audi USA leaves much to be desired.

Did a lot of research. Looked at Lexus, Cadillac, Mercedes, Volvo, and BMW. Audi was the best bang for the buck. Bought a CPO. Still have 2 service visits left plus the warranty coverage until 2014. Day I test drove was in a snow storm. The car handled tremendously in the snow. The salesman had me do a couple of maneuvers that confirmed this car. Live in the snow belt in NW IN so a good snow car is a must. Performs better in the snow than my Lexus RX. Highly recommend this car.

I bought my 2008 Audi A4 used, with about 11,000 miles on it. I've had it a year, and have not had a single problem with it. I was pleasantly surprised by this car. Though I knew it had good ratings, I did think I would like it this much. Lots of fun to drive, and since it's a quattro, its fantastic in the snow. Even in large snow falls. It's great in the city to, as it's small, and very maneuverable, and easy to park. The only downfall I would say is that the interior features are kind of bare bones, and a bit low tech ... which isn't all bad ... especially these days ... but I wish I had blue tooth, and nav. I also wish I had gotten one with memory seats. Other than that ... it's a fantastic car. I would highly recommend it. You'll be pleasantly surprised to ...

I have had my A4 for 6 months and I love it. The car is well made and seems like it will last long. The stereo is the best I have ever heard in a stock system. I had a BMW 3 series before the A4 and they are in the same class, with the Audi being more classy and slightly less sporty (nicer ride). I like the fact that it still has a spare tire (full size)and a dip stick-which BMW got rid of.

Just picked up my new 08 A4 last week. Tiptronic and the 4cyl quattro. It's a great car, handles like nothing else on slick and snowy roads, and the 4 cyl has plenty of kick. I like the paddle shifters and the sport mode, heated seats and general driving feel. Lots of fun passing people. One or two small electrical glitches so far (idiot lights coming on and off) but otherwise great. I drove the 6cyl as well, but the 4 feels lighter on its feet, without any performance fallof and better mileage. This car also gets the wife seal of approval.
