Should I Buy the 2021 Audi A4?

The Audi A4 needs to be good to stand out among so many worthy rivals in the compact luxury car arena. While its turbocharged four-cylinder engines don’t have eye-popping power output, they’re remarkably smooth and deliver a great blend of performance and fuel efficiency. A 2020 makeover brought improvements to an already excellent cabin, including the welcome addition of a central touchscreen for the multimedia system. Rear-seat accommodations are fine for a pair of adults, but squeezing three people back there could be tough.
