2004 Audi A4
Drive Type:
Front Wheel Drive
Engine:
Gas I4
Fuel:
1.8L/109
Overview:
The Audi A4 represents a line of fantastic sports sedans.They deliver crisp handling, a firm ride, and a well-controlled suspension that make for a precise, high-quality driving experience.The A4 feels like it's on rails around fast sweepers, especially when equipped with Audi's quattro all-wheel-drive system, one of the world's best.Beautifully finished interiors exude quality and ergonomic excellence.
Performance and driveability vary by model.The turbocharged four-cylinder engine that comes on 1.8T models delivers excellent performance when paired with a manual gearbox and it's attractively priced, but the 1.8-liter engine doesn't work as well with the available automatic transmission.The V6 engine that comes on 3.0 models is wonderfully smooth and quite strong, and it works very well when paired with the optional automatic.The V8-powered S4 delivers awesome performance and serious enthusiasts love it, but its suspension may be too firm for most drivers.
The A4 was completely redesigned for 2002.Last year, the Cabriolet (convertible) and Avant (wagon) models joined the lineup.For 2004, Audi further expands the A4 family with the V8-powered S4, plus Audi's first Cabriolet quattros, available in both A4 3.0 and S4 trim, combining high performance with top-down exhilaration.
A host of active and passive safety features help keep drivers on the road and protect passengers in an accident.
Media Snapshot:
"Audi A4 combines high quality, thoughtful design, and invigorating performance at a compelling price.The A4 is one of the most respected cars in a class that includes some of the best cars in the world.It delivers good performance in a practical package.It offers amenities and safety features found in large luxury sedans at a much lower price of entry.And it offers the option of quattro all-wheel drive.
There are at least 14 sedans in this class.Sales are strong yet the competition is brutal, and today's hot ticket can quickly become tomorrow's has-been.It's no fluke that the A4 has remained near the top in sales since its introduction seven years ago, and this latest-generation A4 is a much better car than its predecessor.
The A4 3.0 is an outstanding small luxury sport sedan.The Avant wagon is a great choice for families of two or three and a dog, offering big cargo capacity and sport-sedan handling.Cabriolet models add the excitement of open-top driving at the expense of some practicality.The V8-powered S4 takes performance to a significantly higher level; while the A4 1.8T delivers the luxury and performance of a true European sports sedan at a price that puts it in reach of many new-car buyers.Anyone shopping this class should take a long look at Audi.
In short, the Audi A4 is a well-balanced machine that will hold your interest.It's exciting enough to grab your attention in the short term and substantial enough to grow more attractive with time." -Review By JEFFREY P. VETTRAINO AND MITCH MCCULLOUGH
