2020 Audi A4 35 Black Edition 2.0 TFSi petrol

Summary:

As an all rounder, hard to beat

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

Need a perfect sedan that is quality, practical and fun to drive? Look no further than an A4.

I am an Audi fan but I will try to be honest with this review.

Lets start with the negatives infact. Yes they are expensive to buy even when used with some mileage on them. Yes it is expensive to fix unless you are lucky like I am and know an independent Audi specialist that can help out (and service the car correctly to begin with to avoid problems). Oh and the ride isn't as smooth or refined as you might expect. But thats it.

On the plus side, this car really does it all. It has super comfortable sports seats, all the electronic toys you could need. Spacious and very fun to drive, gorgeous exterior and interior. Bright blue exterior with stunning alloys. Quality dark grey interior with soft touch materials. The car is sporty or can be relaxing and easy to drive, manual box is fun and easy to use, and I think I prefer it to an automatic as most of these cars are.

2.0 petrol engine is smooth quiet and powerful. Struggles for around 38 - 40 mpg but considering the performance, it is acceptable. Get a 2.0 TDi if you want economy in the range of 45 - 50 mpg, but be aware the diesels are rough and noisy despite what anyone tells you, and more expensive to fix. I only got this car because my old 2008 Audi A4 diesel finally died (it was 17 years old and had 189,000 miles to be fair) but the difference with this newer petrol A4 is night and day, it is a much improved car in every way, and the A4 was always great to begin with.

Hard to say much more. If you can afford it, try one, you wil love it!

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
