What Owners Say
"I like the on-off feature when you come to a stop. I'm sure it contributes to my outstanding mileage"
Donald C., NY (2018 Audi A4)"Smooth, rapid acceleration whether 0-50 to merge on highway, or 55-70 when needing to pass. And always very quiet with almost NO road noise."
Anonymous, MD (2018 Audi A4)"Superb handling. You feel in control with excellent steering feedback. Very strong acceleration"
M M., NS (2018 Audi A4)"Our A4 is a blast to drive. It handles and accelerates so well that you have to consciously watch your speed."

C K., TX (2018 Audi A4)"Acceleration is fantastic, helps getting on highways. Braking is great and the car handles like a sports car. I love it. This is my 3rd Audi A4."
Frank M., NY (2018 Audi A4)"Car handling very refined. Need Quatro and sport suspension to get the best performance."
Anonymous, CA (2018 Audi A4)"Handles like a sport car comfortable as abig sedan"
Leslie B., VA (2018 Audi A4)"The turbo 4 cylinder is extremely quick with little or no turbo lag. The steering is extremely responsive. It is flat out fun to drive."
Michael D., NV (2018 Audi A4)"Its a well built car."
Anonymous, SC (2018 Audi A4)"I previously have had cars with six-cylinder engines and was unsure about getting a car with a four-cylinder engine. But I have been pleasantly surprised with the Audi's pick-up and ability to quickly gain speed to enter highways, pass someone, and so forth -- even better than my previous six-cylinder car. Also impressed with it's stable and very solid ride and handling, and with how quiet it is."
Michael L., CT (2018 Audi A4)"I purchased the Prestige with all the options. It has a 252 HP engine which give immediate response when you accelerate. The car handles well in the corners without over steer or under steer."

Anonymous, FL (2018 Audi A4)"Turbo lag is annoying"
Peter H., CA (2018 Audi A4)"It is fun to drive, and I love the handling Options that I can choose. I can shift into Sport mode for a tighter suspension or into Comfort for those long highway drives."
Pam M., TN (2018 Audi A4)"Super handling compared to other cars I test drive. I suppose the A6 and other models with more powerful engines accelerate faster, but most of us wouldn’t need anything faster. The superior handling, though, would make anyone feel safer and more in control."
Chris W., CA (2018 Audi A4)"Acceleration for 2.0L Turbo 4 is outstanding. Handling is excellent. Ride is very nice too. Biggest complaint is the transmission which, regardless of the setting, is about 1.5 seconds behind your foot. Response is horrible and is NOT related to turbo lag."
Anonymous, VA (2018 Audi A4)"Acceleration at low speed is not smooth. Dual clutch transmission provides jerky acceleration especially at low speed, but is smoother at higher speed. Transmission is reluctant to shift down at higher speed."
E S., NV (2018 Audi A4)"Outstanding acceleration and handling for class. Very impressed."
Anonymous, CT (2018 Audi A4)"The car is very peppy and handles securely. The suspension absorbs road irregularities and the interior is quiet."
Anonymous, NY (2018 Audi A4)"There is a little lag in the acceleration (likely because it's a turbo) even when in sport mode. And in the automatic shift from first to second gear there is often an odd noise and small feel of a mechanical clunk. That was the case in my car and a loaner car from Audi."
Anonymous, CA (2018 Audi A4)"Great handling, very responsive, great acceleration"
Anonymous, AB (2018 Audi A4)"Superb engine match to transmission. Transmission will hesitate sometimes from stop to go position. Acceleration using throttle up technique is excellent. Handling is excellent & gives one a feeling of control & stability."
Anonymous, NC (2018 Audi A4)"Great handling and comfort"
Anonymous, WI (2018 Audi A4)"Love the German engineering. It's quick and nimble and has good acceleration. I'm getting used to the power save mode, and try not to use the (def more fun) Sport mode too often."
