2012 Audi A4 consumer reviews

Sporty, plenty of power, fun to drive, great stereo. Four wheel drive means you never get stuck, can handle any turn!

I think the Audi A4 S-Line Sport is an extremely well rounded sports sedan. I've owned several other German cars. This one holds its own and is a great value all around!

After testing many cars I chose this one based on the quality of performance and finishes for the price. I took it to college and it more than exceeded my expectations and desires for a car. I was able to fit all my belongings in the trunk and still have space to spare. However, the backseat is a little cramp for taller people. Most my friends are short, so it wasn't an issue. But I wouldn't recommend this car if you will be driving adults in the backseat often. Over all, I absolutely love this car and am thrilled with it's value compared to others in the market.

I love this Audi A4 Avant (Wagon). It drives and handles beautifully and the practicality is beyond words. There is not a single item that I haven't been able to transport when in a pinch -it might as well be a van! It's a gorgeous looking car too, and the compliments kept coming in, even 5-years later.

I purchased this car because it had more features than my previous cars (over 30). I love cars and look on-line daily. I purchased this car because I wanted AWD and side assist specifically. What drew me to this car also was it's somewhat smaller size (compared to my previous Acura TL). It has monochromatic outside mirrors and rear view mirror, a 4 cylinder twin turbo charged engine, led front and rear lights, proximity key so just touching the car opens the door, parking sensors and the dial settings for the RPM and speedometer set at 6 o'clock rather than 7 or 8 o'clock like most cars. The dial setting makes it feel like a sports car which I like. This car is very comfortable, very reliable, has great style and a lot of features for the money. Along with the features for this car, I am now looking for a white leather interior or possibly red leather, engine stop and go when stopped, all led lighting outside, all around camera, front and rear assist for cruise and for alerts front and rear when starting out and lastly remote start. The only features I don't like with my current car is the use of a sim type card for recording and playing music instead of using a storage system like my Acura had for music (more up to date in the US). The other thing s having to have someone reset the change oil sensor with a meter after you change oil. In most cars, a laymen can reset the light yourself without going to a dealer or someone that services it for you.

Bought a 2012 A4 quattro sedan with manual transmission in early January 2016. Had it for 7 months and so far no major problems and I really like it. Great looking car. I'm 6'3 and I have tons of leg room. Very comfortable power adjustable front seats, small rear seats though, especially if taller people are in the front. Great high quality interior that looks fantastic. The MMI controls are a little clumsy but are pretty good once you get used to it. All settings including nearly all heating/cooling plus fan speed are controlled from the MMI. The engine has a decent amount of power and a lot of "pull." The shifting is smooth and easy. The car feels very safe and stable at high speeds, the ride is really smooth but not so soft that it rolls sloppily around corners. It handles well and is really a lot of fun to drive. Its very easy to speed and not even notice. Great steering feel, very easy to turn the wheel at low speeds but it stiffens up at high speeds, which adds to the very stable and enjoyable driving experience. On snowy conditions the all wheel drive system is really great, used a set of all season tires and never had any problems. Can handle a Canadian winter. The car doesn't have a block heater which may be concerning to some, but Audi insists that its not necessary, and I never had trouble starting the car, even on the occasional -30C morning. Another quirk is the lack of a dipstick, so you need to use the MMI system to check your oil. Not a big deal. Overall Im happy I bought this car, its a lot of fun to drive and it looks great. Keep in mind that service/parts can be expensive, so its very important you maintain this car properly. Don't skip oil changes or any required maintenance. Some dealerships offer warranties on their used cars, for these its not a bad idea.

I bought this car a month ago and i am really enjoying this master piece ... Awesome Pick up, beautiful interior , very good mileage , smoothest driving experience, crisp and loud music system, .... I think i am in love this car .. Cons - does not have back up camera , but never mind :)

I love the performance and style of my 2012 Audi A4, but I have a real issue with the wheels. I have already had to replace all 4 wheels after 2 years because they were out of round (according to the dealer). A year after I replaced 4 wheels and bought 2 new tires, I still have a bad ride. (vibration, noise), not smooth like when I bought it. I know the low profile tires can be a problem (stated in owners manual), but I don't think I have hit any major potholes, etc. I am afraid one of my replaced wheels is now out of round and needs to be replaced again. I wish the A4 had better wheels. I might look elsewhere when I buy my next car.

If you drive for more than 15 minutes you can count on getting a back ache. The seats are rock hard. I knew by the time I drove the new car home that the Audi A4 is not a driving car. Good to run to the store but not to the beach. It does not offer any luxury, just good handling in a rough riding uncomfortable car!

I found a certified pre-owned Audi A4 on cars.com and I got a great deal on a car I love. You can't beat the warranty and value in buying a CPO.
