DAN M., PA (2013 Audi A4)"Turbo provides great acceleration and economy"
GARY C., SC (2013 Audi A4)"More me the car has turned out to be a good compromise among various factors: Acceleration and handling are very good for a car in its price range and with its engine size.

Anonymous, GA (2013 Audi A4)"Very perky acceleration and excellent handling. It is a very comfortable drive."
Bryce B., CA (2013 Audi A4)"Fun and exhilarating to drive. This is my second Audi A4 Quattro and the handling and acceleration are unbeatable. I owned a BMW 328i for 12 years and have now become an avid Audi fan. The turbo is very responsive especially in Sport mode. The Quattro makes curves feel like the care is glued to a set of rails. I look forward to the drive to and from work through traffic each day and longer trips a temptation to open up the throttle."
