Should I Buy the 2022 Audi A4?

The A4 remains a smart choice among a wide range of worthy competitors.  While not as overly sporty or flashy as some rivals, the A4 offers a great blend of performance, refinement and fuel efficiency. Rear-seat accommodations are fine for a pair of adults, but squeezing three people back there could be tough. The S4 is a thrill to drive and has cooly understated looks, but a starting price of more than $50,000 could deter some shoppers.
