Audi A4

Nice to drive car with ongoing fan issue – I have had this car 12 m. The car is used on some short commutes but also long weekend drives. The car is currently with Audi again who claim they cannot find the fault yet I have video evidence. Guess Audi plus warranty is a useless piece of paper Show details

Great handling- particularly cornering – My A4 has been a great car- I am definitely a convert to Audi. My next car will be an Audi too- but probably the sexier looking A5 next time.. Show details

Audi Brisbane Centre - Outstanding Service – I recently purchased an Audi A4 and given I live in Cairns, North Queensland, I was buying the car "sight unseen." Yes, at times, I was a little bit nervous. The end result? I could not be more impressed with the outcome. Joe Azzopardi was the easiest, friendliest and most professional car salesman I have ever dealt with. On the one occasion Joe… Read more

was in a meeting, Joel was there to pick up the slack and send me (upon request) interior pictures to give me a better insight of the car I was purchasing. They were always reassuring me, genuinely, that it was the "real deal." And it was!

Nothing was ever a problem. There's a degree of risk when you are buying a car from another town, and all I can say, (especially once my car was delivered!) is the whole experience, exceeded my expectations. The car is absolutely gorgeous. Outstanding service. Thank you so much!

Perfect Car – Never had a problem with this car. Been an absolute dream to drive. Cheap on petrol. I service it every 5000ks. Just clicked over 200,000ks and still running strong. Great car to own. Show details

OMG. What a rubbish car – OMG. What a rubbish car. Not even 3 years old and constant service visits. Done only 40.000 km. Coolant hose leaking. Water pump required to be replaced. And now transmission is leaking they have to pul out the transmission to fix it. Shame on you AUDI. THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU EXPECT FROM A $85.000 CAR. Show details

This is the shitiest car I have ever owned – I have owned this car for a couple of months and I am now thinking of selling it. The first issue that I had was that the cable that is supposed to move the seat forward and backward snapped. Who would have tought that this can happen to a car and especially to a premium brand that Audi wants to be? The second issue I am having are the rattles… Read more

everywhere in the car. They are completely driving me crazy. It’s just unacceptable for a premium car to have so many rattles. The MMI system stops working out of no reason (LTE looses connectivity, navigation stops working, radio craps down...) Overall avoid this crap of a car!

Worth the value – I bought this car in 2013, honestly everytime i get inside, its still got that new car smell. It has been so reliable and efficient. I get it serviced once a year. Its great on fuel and runs smoothly. Its almost been 10 years and i love everyday i drive this car. Very spacious boot and seating space. Show details

Almost perfect – I came from a BMW 4 series and saw this is a downgrade coming from a six cylinder to a four-cylinder. Yes certainly from an engine perspective it is not as good. With that being said the four-cylinder is very smooth and quiet. What I love most of all though is the ride comfort and the quietness, so much better overall than the BMW particularly on… Read more

coarse chip roads ie much of our motorways and country roads. Also the interior feels more plush, with higher grade Nappa leather and no surface feels cheap which you can’t say about the BMW. I actually think that BMW is probably built better structure wise because I never had a rattle in that car and I do get the occasional rattle in the Audi over really poor broken pavement, but it’s not enough to spoil the experience. I really like the A4, if you want a car to do its job day in day out and you don’t have to think about anything, this is a great car. I also have the B&O sound system and would highly recommend it. Oh, one final thing, the satellite navigation with Google Maps is absolutely stunning visually, impresses everyone that rides in the car, and is much more sophisticated than the BMW maps. I wouldn’t mind owning another BMW but can’t get over how poor the run flat tyres are on coarse chip roads. The seat comfort in the A4 is also better than the BMW, however the BMW does have a better driving position especially for tall drivers.

Mixed feeling about the car – I bought my 2016 A4 brand new from Audi Springwood ( Brisbane) with pretty much all option boxes ticked.( apart from auto parking and Metrex headlight) First year of ownership was nightmare after nightmare. They attempted 3 times trying to fix the same problems ( aircon). Couldn't fixed it over a 3 months period. Finally I managed to get a… Read more

replace at the end of 2016...same problem on the brand new replacement car.Finally in late Jan in 2017...they said Germany found the issue...was a software issue and problem fixed. Since then, so far no problems, however, I do notice some usage of coolant and engine oil. Both Gold Coast and Spring Audi are lovely to deal with, however, "Audi Australia" avoid at all costs.

Would never buy another VAG car – While this car has amazing looks & is beautifully appointed, electronically & mechanically it is an absolute disappointment. Electronic Issues; Rear cross traffic alert constantly false activated & would violently apply brakes, radio would not start on previous channel, frequent false steering alerts, lane assist needs serious work, active cruise… Read more

control quite painful, emergency braking honestly quite terrifying, a lot of rattles, Bang & Olufsen pretty disappointing. Mechanical issues; Had 3 different coolant leaks, cracked ignition housing, failed rear spring, front passenger door didn’t seal properly. Audi Brighton are extremely untrustworthy, tried to tell me I needed new brake pads at 15K service. Fuel economy nowhere near what Audi advertise. Tried to complain about service, got zero response. Owned from new, 62,000KM sold before the 3 year warranty expired. Car used for a lot of long journeys as well as day to day city driving.

Pure driving pleasure – This is my first Audi and my husband and I both purchased one. Let’s just say Audi all the way! Such an amazing drive. After a year I still look forward to getting in my car. I use auto cruise control all the time and the power is mind blowing. Already planning my next Audi! Show details

Great value for money – I bought diesel A4 and it very ecnomical and easy to maintain. I never had trouble or anynossues with the car. Service was not expensive either. Nice handling and body panel color is still in excellent condition. Show details

If you love a squeaky steering wheel then go for A4 – Audi A4 has an operational issue (according to unhelpful Audi Customer care) that you are going to hate and that is it is the Squeaky steering wheel. After taking to authorised repair centre finally Audi Australia came up with NO FIX. According to Audi it is perfectly safe to drive even if you get distracted with this constant noise- great answer.… Read more

Be careful while buying this model. In addition, with my car the coolant started leaking at 55K and fuel flap became noisey. These are easily fixable but may cost you fortune if your car has run out of warranty.

Audi A4 B7 2.0 Turbo Quattro – I used this car every day, probably drove around 400 kms a week in ultimate silence and comfort. The car was awesome, looked great, no rattles, quiet as and fairly smooth on the open road. It handled extremely well for a 1600kg car, and cornered flat as. Interior quality is flawless, had no problems with electronics or anything. This top of the… Read more

line Audi was awesome. Mine had 190,000 kms, and very little issues. Code P0171 came up which was a very minor code but meant something to do with the air and fuel mixture of the engine, but was not a major problem. Other than that, great reliable car.

AUDI A4 - 2005. Dreaded "FLASHING PRNDS - Transmission Control Module Failure – My local Stealership quoted me $5,150 to replace faulty T.C.M but offered no options for repair of module. I stated that their quote was more than the car was worth and they agreed. Were they expecting me to buy a new Audi? Went to local mechanic who confirmed the fault on his diagnostic computer, removed the module which is bolted onto the back… Read more

of the C.V.T The module was then sent to Melbourne (Injectronics) who replaced faulty components, tested the module and returned to Hobart mechanic. Installation and testing takes 2 hrs. Repaired modules do not require re-coding and is a straight forward job for a competent mechanic. My old Audi is now great and repair cost was $1,400. Noted this model was recalled in the U.S.A. and the TCM replaced under warranty.

Worst car i have ever owned a total nightmare – My audi a4 has been a total nightmare the engine has blown up the dsg gearbox failed and Audi have been totally unhelpful. I have been put off ever buying a German car again. Audi's aim is to deny known defects and make the customer's life as difficult as possible when trying to resolve an issue with their cars  Show details

Good Car – A4 is a stylish, practice, powerful yet economical vehicle. Handles very well. Disappointed in the Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system thou, too many rattles and bass is terrible. Also don’t get the seat trim inserts with Alcantara cloth find them uncomfortable and difficult to adjust your seating position, seats bit too narrow also.  Show details

A quantum leap from my last car – I needed a new, or nearly new station wagon after my Skoda Superb was killed by lightning! I saw this fully specced A4 quattro S Line that HAD to be sold. Irrespective of price the car is without doubt one of the safest vehicles on the road (a priority for me). Beautiful supple leather everywhere. Ability to tow a single motorcycle trailer a… Read more

necessity. Seats that are comfortable after 8 hours driving. Head up display is great as is the active cruise control and semi-autonomous driving (lane keeping, speed, overtaking warning etc.). I use this as my daily driver and have driven to Gippsland and Sunshine coast from The Illawarra. Excellent fuel consumption (ave. 7.8l/100km), lots of room (but not as much as the Skoda), enough power to lose your licence and an infotainment unit that does the lot. After over three years now it is still an excellent, trouble free car.

Car has ever think you need and heaps of safety gear. Great to drive and a beautifully finished car – Car is used for general duties ,shopping, appointments and going on holidays. The car is driven everyday and is serviced every 15000 KL at the local Audi dealer . Have had no problems with the car, would recommend to anyone. If driven responsibility you get very good fuel economy. It is a very easy car to drive.  Show details

Check oil consumption specifications before you purchase Audi – Audi's oil consumption specifications are 500 ml per 1000 KM. So, if you drive your car a lot, prepare yourself to top up oil at least twice between services. And, if your car oil consumption is above Audi's specifications(500 ml/1000 KM), there is a high chance that you got piston rings failure problem, even if the car mileage is not high, because it is a common issue with some Audi cars.  Show details

Great car, horrendous service costs as car life goes on – I fancy myself a bit of a car nut, so I was pretty happy for the first two years of ownership of my second hand 2010 Audi A4 B8 1.8TFSI. It drives well, it's extremely comfortable, the tech in it rivals new cars despite its age, and it just looks like a beautiful car. My main gripe has been service costs. At just under 10 years old, and shy of… Read more

150,000km, the Transmission Control Module died which warranted a $4300 repair. I was not happy but understood it's a second hand Euro car so that costs are expected ...

The main gripe I have is that after the independent mechanic ordered the part from Audi, at no stage did Audi inform him that the car would need to be sent to Audi for coding. Independent mechanics can no longer code TCM's themselves. So Audi decided to hit me up for 4 hours labour for practically nothing.

As much as I love the car and the way it drives/handles, I would say beware when buying a second hand Audi. Yes you get the car at a discount, but Audi will make you pay in parts and maintenance costs ...

Great Car. Lots of power – The driving experience is like no other vehicle I have had. It’s smooth and the turbo sounds fluid. Long distance trips are a breeze as the cruise control saves leg cramp. Overall a pleasant driving vehicle and good value for money. The parts however are a bit expensive but of quality material.  Show details

Great when still under Wty – We loved the car for the first 4 years then everthing started to go wrong, Igintion coils,Pcv,hood lining dropped,front wheel bearings,water pump steering shudder and the dreadfull CVT died To make matters worse most of these repairs have been recalled in other countries but the arrogant Audi Aust claim they haven't heard of the problems .Tried… Read more

to trade it in but after spending nearly $50.000 they give you 15.000

Went to Mercedes they sell you a car but wont touch Audis as trades.

Buy one but get rid of it BEFORE the WTY is up

Love the car! – I bought the car as a dealer demo with around 5000 kms on it, and it was one of the best car I've ever had for 3 reasons. 1, the car drives beautifully; 2. the new interior of Audi beats any of the other competitors; 3. I love the subtleness of the car but also the luxury that comes with it. Overall, I am a very happy customer.  Show details

Great car! – Bought one that had 20 000 km on it a few months ago. Has been great to drive. Suspension is OK but not great. I would prefer if the car was lower to the ground. Interior is nice and as expected but MMI system still needs to be updated as they are lagging behind other car companies. On 98 Octane, driving a manual, the car costs approximately $80/week for fuel on a relatively high usage rate.  Show details

Great car – Best car ever had without any problems. Very durable and reliable. The acceleration is not as good as BMW in the same engine range as BMW has valvetronic system which also can damage their engines. Drive smooth and nothing to be worried of. Definitely recommend if you can get a good price with a good gearbox.  Show details

My car was all I had :) – Bought the 2.0 turbo diesel model 1 year ago. Driving it is very comfortable. With the leather seat covers, they provide less heats in car space. The back seats have good space for passengers that I received few good compliments from several Uber rides. The only shame is it lack of bluetooth media audio, had to buy an adaptor to bypass this ‘fault’.  Show details

Smooth, comfortable and reliable – German cars are 'my thing': being a long-term BMW driver, I decided to give Audi a try.....What a difference ! Great breaks, the engine is silent and the fuel efficiency cannot be ignored. I like the seats and the ergonomics: the buttons on the side of the seat make everything so user-friendly. other functionalities on the steering wheel allow the driver to safely manoeuver the car and use the multimedia system simultaneously. Love my car !  Show details

Quattro super elegant and a great drive – Audi A4 SLine Quattro superb car to drive with so many features, 2.0L the torque is unreal the leather interior is great even in summer does not scold you. 1 x cup holder is a negative as you usually want 2 minimum. The riot tonic gearbox is great for city driving or cruise control for the highway. I can not recommend this model and car type… Read more

enough. Beautiful German crafted machinery and handles the Australia weather quite well no issues as long as serviced at the right intervals as per dashboard computer it will advise when issues or service is due.

Great experience – Have had the A4 2.7TDI since new and it has been a really good car. The 2.7 diesel is a terrific engine and did not get caught in the cheat software scandal. Plenty of power in reserve that comes in handy on the open road. I think the current 3.0litre is essentially the same with extra volume and power. Very comfortable for long trips. … Read more

Overall it has been very reliable, with just a couple of hiccups (1) with the catalytic converter (which failed about a month after the warranty expired, but I managed to negotiate successfully with Audi Australia to replace it), and (2) very annoying and expensive failure of the GPS (including $250 to paint the shark fin the car colour!). Other than that, each annual service tends to cost a bit for fixing normal wear and tear (engine mounts, glow plugs, steering arm bushes etc). There was a noticeable increased responsiveness, and reduction in fuel consumption around 50,000k. I hear this is a common experience with diesels. Had done 115,000km until we bought a VW Touareg SUV recently. It still looks and drives like a $70k car, but was almost worthless as a trade-in, so now our son is enjoying it.

Very smooth ride – Since i have bought this car, i am very happy with it. It' s a very smooth drive and has low noise engine. The breaks are very good and so is the transmission. It is fuel efficient and also features a V6 engine. It uses fuel properly even when you use sports mode. You can drive in sports mode all day with a full tank without loosing half a… Read more

tank of fuel within 2 hours of driving. Compared to 4WD this car is 2WD/FWD and has very nice steering/handling.

I like the seats and the ergonomics. I love the buttons on the side of the seat make everything so easy to use. Buttons on the steering wheel allow the driving to safely maneuver the car and use the multimedia system.

It's also has a convertible feature so during summer you can enjoy riding this fantastic ride.

Nice to drive, terrible car – Had nothing but problems. Central locking failed, transmission mechatronics failed, and finally the engine failed at 105k km's.. Audi servicing I experienced was expensive, arrogant and ignorant. I loved driving this car and it looks great but that's as much as I can say that's positive. If you buy an Audi, get rid of it before the warranty is up is my advice..  Show details

All New Stylish Audi A4 – 1) The driving experience is amazing specially the control. 2) Loved the interior especially the fact that you get Google Maps with Street View embedded into the satellite navigation system is a welcome touch, as is the Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity. Meanwhile, the ambient lighting in the doors, across the fascia and even in the… Read more

cup-holders makes the cabin a proper event come nightfall.

3) Reliable vehicle but running cost is what you can expect from Audi.
