2014 Audi A4 S Line Multitronic 2.0 TDi from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Simply stunning!

Faults:

Nothing so far! The car was bought used with full dealer history.

General Comments:

The A4 in my opinion is better to drive than the BMW 3 series and Mercedes C-Class and any others in this class.

Gorgeous to look at inside and out. Classic A4 shape has barely changed since the late 1990's and it still manages to look modern on this 2014 model. An S Line in darker colors is the one to go for!

Inside the car is very comfortable. Spacious and has all the electrics you could want.

2.0 TDi provides both power and economy. Even with the semi-auto I have managed a solid 49 mpg so far, and I drive fast!

Try one, buy nothing less than a cared for car and enjoy. Initially expensive to buy, but they are worth it!

2014 Audi A4 Black Edition Quattro 2.0 TDi from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Fast, expensive to buy, but worth it

Faults:

A lot of expensive maintenance rather than actual faults. It is ten years old, but has lower than average mileage. These are expensive cars to fix, but at this stage I am not expecting anything major as the service schedule has been followed to the letter, I bought approved used and have kept up to date with everything it needs.

General Comments:

Dark blue Audi A4 Black Edition. Very nice car for the money. I have enjoyed every moment with this car, and so I should at the price I paid for it!

It goes like an absolute rocket and still manages 45 - 50 mpg. The 2.0 TDi is a fine engine if cared for. Semi auto box is a joy to use. The car is amazing to drive.

Exterior styling is incredible. Interior has a sporty and luxury feel. Very spacious. I challenge anyone to find better, even from Mercedes or BMW. If I am being really picky... the center console has too many small buttons and was a pain to navigate at first.

The perfect all round car really. Find a nice one and enjoy it. Do not touched unloved examples, the used market is full of them.

2014 Audi A4 from North America

Summary:

Not quite as fun to drive as Mercedes or BMW, but a smooth and reliable ride nonetheless

Faults:

The automatic transmission is a bit jerky, especially at higher speeds.

The trunk latching mechanism needed replacement after 8 months.

The car is a bit underpowered and overweight, and feels heavy when accelerating at high speeds.

General Comments:

The interior is plush and luxurious; it is a bit softer and more luxuriant than the Mercedes C-Class I had before getting this car, but not quite as flashy and full of bells and whistles as the BMW 3 or 4 series. It drives more "Japanese" than "German", i.e. like most Japanese luxury cars, it is a heavy car that is a bit slow to accelerate and feels a bit overweight and underpowered. It handles turns and corners well, especially with the "sport" setting selected.

The interior is roomier and there is more trunk space than the C-Class or the 3/4 Series. It contains a few standard features (e.g. rear view camera, seat warmers) that are optional on the C-Class or the 3/4 Series.

Fuel economy is also slightly better than the other German cars in its class... mine gets around 20 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway.

I think Audi's are as fun to drive as BMW or Mercedes. And being an American review I take it this is a petrol engine you have? You have not mentioned the engine. At 28 mpg I assume this is petrol. They are very good performing and quiet engines.

I don't know if you guys in the USA get the diesel version, but here we enjoy performance AND economy from them.
