Audi A4 Review


Audi
A4
Information


You owe it to yourself to check out the Audi A4. My first Audi was a 2000
S4 which was fast, comfortable and the best all around car. While the
S4 was more of a sports car, the A4 is the perfect car for everyday life.
With a little more compliant suspension and a lot more affordable price tag,
the A4 is worth a look.

      If you live in a colder climate, you will appreciate the Quattro all wheel drive
system in the A4. The traction is amazing, but if you do a lot of winter
driving, I would recommend a dedicated set of snow/ice tires like those sold
by Bridgestone under the name Blizzak. Check out The Tire Rack for a wide
range of winter and summer tires.

The best part of owning an Audi is their service and warranty. I had a great experience with my car, and was always treated like a king. Of course your mileage may vary depending on your dealership,
but from what I have seen, the level of service comes from the top down, and
most dealerships strive for a top level of service. In your search for
a new Audi A4 I have included some additional information below…

When shopping for an Audi online, it’s best to do your research first and find
out the true invoice price for the car. You can find invoice pricing at
websites like Edmunds.com After you know the invoice price of your Audi, the next step is to get a price quote. I use Invoice Dealers to get a price quote from a local dealer. This service puts
you in touch with a dealer in your area and most of the time results in the lowest price without having to haggle on price. Once you get a price quote you can compare it to invoice price and negotiate through email. This keeps you out of the showroom and gives you the edge when negotiating.


Every owner should have a repair manual for their car, even if they never lift a wrench on their car. AllData has a cool Online Repair Manual for your Audi which has excellent indepth repair procedures, as well as Recall and TSB information. The Recall and TSB information is very valuable for all car owners and could save you tons of money when taking your Audi in for Repair. If you would like to read more about TSB’s and Recall information please check out my TSB page.

When researching a new car, I find it best to look for owners groups where you can ask questions before buying. You may find a lot of good information in FAQ sections, Forums, or mailing lists. You will want to look for common problems, what year is the best to buy, and how people are modifiying their cars to make them their own. Following is a list of clubs specific to the Audi A4
