Audi A4

The A4 shines by being sporty, luxurious, and polished in a segment populated by superstars. It’s very satisfying to drive, with nimble, secure handling helped by its minimal body roll and responsive steering. The controlled ride is on the firm side, but proves steady and absorbent. The powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engine accelerates with gusto, proving ever-eager to make a quick getaway, yet doesn’t hurt your wallet at the pump. Slide into the A4’s cabin and you’re greeted by a high-quality interior. The controls have a precise feel and a clean, modern look. The front seats are firm yet comfy, but the rear seat space is tight. The A4 is an exquisite sedan for discriminating buyers. It comes with standard forward-collision warning and city-speed automatic emergency braking.
