2006 Audi A4 review from North America
"Fast, handles like a champ, looks sexy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Small rust spots forming on hood and trunk corners, re-painted under warranty.
Driver's seat replaced under warranty as leather was splitting on the sides.
General comments?
This is an extremely fun car to drive, even without Quattro AWD. It holds the road very well and takes corners while accelerating like a champ. Top speed of this car I have seen rated at 240kph, but I personally have only had it up to 200kph, and even on a windy day it was incredibly stable at that speed.
Nothing has gone wrong mechanically.
The car performs terribly in winter conditions with the stock all seasons and being that it is FWD (I regret not getting a Quattro equipped model for Canadian winters).
Very expensive to maintain and fix.
A lot of people comment on the car and how sexy it is.
