Beemers are better than Audis...

Everything is made with cheap plastic. Bmw 3 series has more to offer. Engines all burn oil and blow timing I won't ever buy another Audi after my experience.

Check the engine

Make sure you check which engine you have in this car. There was a lawsuit about the piston rings being bad. To have another engine put in is 7.4k to 8.5k.

These 2.0s are amazing!

So spacious. This is the only car I have ever owned that has allowed the option for THAT MUCH driver leg room. It feels a bit heavy around turns compared to my civic si coupe (as it should) but the Quattro really makes you feel super planted around all turns. Snow? Lol... unless we’re talking a three foot depth this car has no issues. Turbo charger... uhhh yeah! Love it (even as an adult) with the 7 speed dual clutch trans its not hard to keep this car outside of the boost range and receive rediculous fuel consumption ratios but if you want... take it to 3000 rpm or greater and you will feel that rush from the boost. What a fun and practical car. I think I’ll buy another! :)

Best car I've ever owned!

Experience, reliability, style, fuel efficiency, comfort, performance, and luxury all in one. Truly an amazing vehicle, especially for the price! I would do this all over again if I could. Highly recommend to all!

Excellent automobiles

Checks all of the boxes. the rear legroom could be improved, but the car is built well and is planted on the road at all times, even in the worst of Michigan winters.

Fun car, you must pay to play

The Audi 2.0T engine is amazing when it’s taken car of properly. There’s 3 major defects that can destroy the engine of these cars so I’d suggest buying out right. A replacement engine new is $8k and used ones are north of $4k with labor. be prepared for that to happen north of 100k miles.

Best care I've ever owned - love the AWD

I always wanted to get an Audi so a few years back I purchased a two year old 2011 Audi A4 Quattro. I mainly got it for the all wheel drive. I use it as our family car. I bought an extended warranty to carry me through 120k miles. During the regular warranty period, I had to use it once because the driver side power window stopped working. But at 110k+ miles - I used the extended warranty (with zero deductible) 3 times for over $12,000 in repairs at the dealer. I had the turbo replaced, the timing chain adjuster, timing chain, cylinder head + other stuff. Parts eventually fail or wear out. I am extremely pleased with the performance of this car and will get another one in the future.

Well designed inside and out

I've had the 2011 A4 for 4+ years now. The exterior of the car is beautiful and ages well. I actually still get compliments on it. Audi is of course known for their interiors and the A4 doesn't disappoint. It's very comfortable and everything is well laid out. Even the interface for the infotainment center is well done, especially the GPS display which is very easy to follow. My only complaint with the car is after 100K+ miles it has more mechanical issues than I would like. There are no major issues, but because it's German fixing minor things can be very expensive, especially at a dealer.

Overall pretty good

This car is great. Definitely a luxury vehicle. I have had some problems previously with the engine and I did have to get it replaced in 2015 after it stopped working, but the Audi dealership did everything for free. The car drives very smooth and it?s good if you prefer heavy cars (like a Mercedes). Because of what happened with the engine, however, I feel a little anxious driving it occasionally.
