"A slight hesitation when averaging from a stop but amazing control and acceleration on the highway"
Anonymous, AB (2017 Audi A4)"Very quick acceleration and excellent gas mileage with a very smooth 7 speed trans....Handles like a sport car v the sedan it is."
Ronald R., CA (2017 Audi A4)"Outstanding handling and performance along with quality and engineering comparable to a BMW at a lower price."
Anonymous, WA (2017 Audi A4)"This car is often having me say "R U Kidding Me". In a very positive way. I have the speed warning set and I get constant notifications to slow down. This car wants to go. It really hugs the road on those tight corners. Best of all, the fuel mileage I am getting is crazy good. I have averaged U.S. 32.3 mpg since my purchase in combined driving. That's with lots of stop and go traffic in traffic jams. On the highway, I'm getting up to 38 mpg U.S., that's with some lights in the way. For me, Audi..."

Stephen W., GA (2017 Audi A4)"The turbo charge gives excellent acceleration. The four wheel quattro drive gives nice handling."
Lawrence N., CA (2017 Audi A4)"Handling while passing in the passing lane is kind of wonky, believe it or not. Maybe it's because we stay in auto drying mode instead of flipping into Sport mode."
Laura T., CA (2017 Audi A4)"Great power and handling. Better tires could make it even better"
Anonymous, NY (2017 Audi A4)"The car is quick and it is extremely competent in rain and snow due to the all-wheel drive. The car is truly a joy to drive - it is quick due to the powerful engine and light body (aluminum) but still gets great gas mileage."

Anonymous, WA (2017 Audi A4)"Very quick acceleration, especially considering the kind of gas mileage I'm getting. The 7-speed automated manual transmission has a lot to do with it.

Anonymous, IL (2017 Audi A4)"Surprisingly strong acceleration. Balanced handling."
Dennis D., OH (2017 Audi A4)"Acceleration is impressive when needed, and handling is rock-solid. My one pet peeve is that the pedal must be depressed further than expected to get going from a full stop (unless you are comfortable with very slow acceleration)."
Anonymous, MA (2017 Audi A4)"Fantastic acceleration and handling - it is VERY difficult to stay under the speed limit with this car, because it accelerates so quickly! Also, sports mode makes it feel like a V6 on the road at speeds under 60. After 90mph the 4 cylinder of course does not have all the torque needed to quickly go to 100mph"
Anonymous, NY (2017 Audi A4)"Handles and accelerates like a dream. Very impressive for a turbo 4. All wheel drive is fantastic."
Alan H., MA (2017 Audi A4)"The vehicle is very responsive to the steering wheel and brakes. It accelerates quickly and without any hesitation. It feels like you are driving an expensive racing car."
Anonymous, MA (2017 Audi A4)"acceleration good. handling: good after changing steering respose. Hard to align with perpendicular parking spots - can't see the border lines, must aim before start entering spot. Much worse than my old 1997 Audi A4."
John K., CA (2017 Audi A4)"fun car to drive. Quattro holds the road on corners. Great acceleration and amazing gas milage!"
Tim B., CA (2017 Audi A4)"Very Responsive"
Anonymous, VA (2017 Audi A4)"While acceleration and handling on this car are superb it has one fatal flaw which is the dual clutch transmission. It causes hesitation off the line that is intrusive and even dangerous when trying to merge onto a busy street or into a round-about intersection. The vehicle will hesitate and even shudder a bit before finally launching like a rocket. It's unsettling and in my opinion just about ruins the daily driving experience."
Anonymous, OR (2017 Audi A4)"Balanced handling and acceleration. Good feedback and car conveys a sense of solidity"
James K., LA (2017 Audi A4)"Very fast, solid handling"

Anonymous, IL (2017 Audi A4)"I can't believe this is a four-door four cylinder sedan. It accelerates so much faster than my previous car which had a bigger engine and more horsepower. Driving this car is a dream! I tell my friends and family driving this car feels like floating on a marshmallow and I feel sorry for people who don't drive Audis. That said, you cannot compare this vehicle to its 2016 predecessor which (although nice) was nowhere near as fun, responsive and finished as this beauty."

"Outstanding ride and acceleration. Responsive handling and very low noise level. "Glides" on the freeway"
