2011 Audi A4 Owners Manual - Audi A4 is one of the most wanted sedan in 2011, most people all over the world were waiting for this car. Yeah, here is the review from edmunds for this car. For 2011, the Audi A4 Quattro gets an optional eight-speed automatic in place of its old six-speed automatic; fuel economy rises slightly as a result. A new Titanium Sport package adds some black trim and 19-inch wheels to the regular Sport package, while the Prestige trim picks up a standard rear view camera and parking sensors. The Driver Assist package has been discontinued, but blind-spot warning becomes a stand-alone option in its place. HD radio is now included with the Navigation package.
In the ongoing horsepower war raging among luxury brands, the 2011 Audi A4 has essentially declared itself neutral, the automotive equivalent of Switzerland. While others from around the world duke it out with six-cylinders and ever-increasing power numbers, the A4 makes due with a turbocharged four-cylinder good for only 211 horses. This might seem as if Audi is deliberately limiting the A4's appeal, but in reality the A4 manages to nearly match (or better) the acceleration of its competitors while simultaneously offering impressive fuel economy and the reassurance of available all-wheel drive.
The A4 has never really been known for its performance, though. Instead, it has been (and continues to be) a car defined by a high-quality interior, one that's typically the benchmark in its class. While perhaps not as visually interesting as some of its competitors, the A4's typically German cabin nevertheless has a rich ambiance. Add to it a decent-sized backseat and trunk and the A4's cabin is suitably practical as well. The A4 Avant wagon isn't exceptionally roomy, but it does give you more versatility than the sedan can manage. Plus, it looks pretty darn snazzy with its aggressively tapered roof line.
2010 Audi A4 Owners Manual - Gentleman, what do you think after driving Audi A4 2010? Here is the review from edmunds. At first glance, it may appear as though the 2010 Audi A4 lineup has been eviscerated. The convertible is gone, and so is the V6 -- what's next, cloth upholstery and crank windows? In actuality, though, there are perfectly good explanations for both developments. The good folks at Audi haven't lost their minds, and the 2010 A4 remains an eminently desirable sport sedan/wagon with arguably the nicest interior in this segment.
Now for the explanations. Let's start with the convertible. Last year's A4 drop top was an outdated design based on the previous-generation A4, so its torch has been passed to the foxy new A5 Cabriolet. As for the pricey V6, it couldn't even outperform the base turbocharged four, so Audi will henceforth send its new supercharged S4 (reviewed separately) into battle against upper-crust contenders like the BMW 335i, while the four-cylinder A4 2.0T will continue to lock horns with entry-level sport/luxury cars like the BMW 328i and Mercedes-Benz C300. See? It all makes sense. All is well in Ingolstadt.
One thing that hasn't changed about the A4 is its precise and balanced handling, which combines with its slick styling and upscale cabin to provide an undeniably premium driving experience. Indeed, the only pressing question about the 2010 A4 is whether that four-cylinder engine is up to the task given that most of its rivals offer smooth six-cylinder power. To be fair, the A4's turbocharged 2.0-liter four puts up competitive acceleration numbers despite its cylinder deficit. Yet the only luxury cars of this sort with four-cylinder power are ones on the fringe like the front-wheel-drive Acura TSX.
2009 Audi A4 Owners Manual - Audi's entry-level sedan and companion Avant wagon get a complete redesign for 2009. The new A4 is longer and wider, resulting in more interior room and cargo space. The optional Drive Select system allows the driver to customize steering, suspension and transmission settings, and a rearrangement of the front axle has yielded a less-nose-heavy weight distribution. New technology features include direct injection for both engines, adaptive cruise control, a blind-spot warning system and a revised version of Audi's MMI systems controller. The convertible A4, however, carries over from last year.
Despite being a longtime top seller in Europe, the Audi A4 has historically trailed a distant 3rd behind those other German automakers' compact luxury sedans in the North American market. The folks in Ingolstadt are hoping to change all that with the newly redesigned 2009 Audi A4.
The new A4 sedan is nearly 5 inches longer and 2 inches wider than the previous model, which yields more headroom, more shoulder room and an additional 1.4 inches of rear knee room, as well as class-leading trunk space. Also new on the A4 this year is a pair of direct-injection engines -- the standard 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and an available 3.2-liter V6 (sedan only). The 2009 A4 additionally offers a plethora of techno-gadgets, including radar-based adaptive cruise control, a new park distance control system and revised controls for Audi's Multi Media Interface (MMI) system.
2008 Audi A4 Owners Manual - For 2008, the Audi A4 receives only minor changes. Exterior features that were previously available as part of the sedan and wagon's optional S line sport package are now standard. This means that front and rear bumpers have been revised, as has the lower side door trim. An integrated trunk lid spoiler has been added, along with a new front grille and S line badging. To reflect this, the optional S line Sport Package has been trimmed to include just a sport-tuned suspension, sport three-spoke steering wheel, aluminum trim, 18-inch wheels and leather upholstery with unique stitching. On the A4 Cabriolet, heated front seats are now standard. An optional iPod interface is available on all 2008 Audi A4s.
Many of the world's major religions bear a similar theme: A messiah comes, bringing with him enlightenment and a path to a better way of living. Audi had its very own messiah of sorts with the A4. Bad press regarding unintended acceleration (based on reports that were later shown to be unfounded) tarnished the manufacturer's image in the late '80s and early '90s, sending sales into an unholy tailspin. Launched in the mid-'90s, the Audi A4 -- buoyed by crisp handling, superb road manners and elegant visage -- proved compelling enough to reinvigorate the brand. Now in its third generation, the Audi A4 is as enticing as ever -- and Edmunds.com's editors have voted it a top pick for several years running.
The 2008 Audi A4 is catnip for drivers who crave the finer things. One of the few entry-level luxury cars available as a sedan, convertible and wagon, the Audi A4 morphs to please everyone from bustling families to solitary singles. Slide inside and you'll find a cabin that takes the "entry" out of "entry-luxury." Gauges offer the sort of soothing lighting you'd find in a chic late-night bistro, and the car's interior materials and design would be right at home in the expensively outfitted lobby of a premier Hollywood talent agency. On the move, the A4 has a solid feel to it, an attribute no doubt helped by the car's commonly fitted Quattro all-wheel-drive system.
Compromises are few, but they do exist. Neither A4 engine is a powerhouse, for instance, as the turbocharged 2.0-liter is somewhat lacking when it comes to off-the-line torque and the 255-horsepower V6 is increasingly outclassed by competitors putting out more than 300 hp. Another potential negative is the rear seat, which isn't as roomy as the accommodations in some rivals. Hard-core enthusiasts might also criticize the A4's handling, which is softer and less responsive than the premier sport sedans in this price range. However, many buyers will find that the Audi's high level of feedback compensates for its somewhat slower reflexes.
2007 Audi A4 Owners Manual - According to edmunds, the most significant change for the 2007 Audi A4 family is the updating of the Cabriolet body style. In addition to adopting the refreshed styling and hardware already on the sedan and wagon, the Cabriolet features a new acoustic top that promises a quieter ride. Other updates this year include a revised "Symphony" audio system, which can now play MP3-encoded CDs, and some shuffling of features. The 2.0T gains a new four-spoke steering wheel but loses the option of having a driver seat/mirror memory feature or heated rear seats. The 3.2 gets a standard sunroof (excluding Cabriolet versions) and paddle-shifters for automatic transmission-equipped models. Finally, satellite radio choice is now limited to Sirius, and Audi's free maintenance program has been discontinued.
Introduced in the mid-1990s, the Audi A4 was the vehicle responsible for kicking the company out of its late '80s and early '90s funk. With its classy styling, comfortable ride, well-weighted steering and buttoned-down suspension, that first A4 attracted a whole new fan base for Audi. More than a decade later, the latest A4 (now in its third generation) is still taking up the point position.The 2007 Audi A4 may be the company's entry-level luxury car, but it doesn't give much away except space to its larger siblings. A stylish cabin boasting fine fit and finish is one evident Audi trait, and the A4 upholds this tradition. But there's more to the A4 than just a nice interior. Thanks to its available quattro all-wheel-drive system, the A4 is capable of providing both enhanced traction on slippery roads and better road-holding on dry pavement.
Additionally, Audi has fitted the car with two impressive direct-injection engines: a powerful yet relatively frugal turbocharged 2.0-liter engine called the 2.0T, and a sweet-sounding 3.2-liter V6.The major news for the 2007 A4 is a full update for the Cabriolet body style. For the past couple of years, it was a bit behind in terms of receiving the latest mechanical A4 hardware. This year, the 1.8-liter turbo four and 3.0-liter V6 are gone and replaced with the 2.0T and 3.2. Other updates for the Cab include new exterior styling, a revised suspension design and a new, quieter convertible top.Aimed chiefly at BMW's 3 Series, the 2007 Audi A4 isn't quite as involving a drive as that benchmark sport sedan from Bavaria. The Audi also faces solid competition from the Lexus IS and the Volvo S40. But with a price tag thousands less than the Bimmer, a richer cabin than any of them, a wider choice of body styles and a well-rounded personality, the Audi A4 is a mandatory consideration for those shopping in the sport-oriented entry-level luxury car market.
2006 Audi A4 Owners Manual - According to edmunds, when the Audi A4 debuted in the United States in 1996, it set forth
the revitalization of the Audi brand. We've been impressed by the A4
since that time and have always considered it one of the most
well-appointed and fun-to-drive cars in its price class. But seven years
is a long time for a car in the entry-level luxury car market, so Audi
completely redesigned the A4 for the 2002 model year. The new sedan,
followed later by the wagon (or Avant in Audi terminology) and
convertible (or Cabriolet), was more sharply styled than before, with
clear glass headlights, dual exhaust and a high waistline. Although the
convertible's clean expression speaks proudly of its fellow A4s, the
Cab's sleeker profile and prominent aluminum accents give it an even
sharper bite.
A substantially refreshed A4 debuted in midyear
2005. It wasn't a total redo, as Audi calls it 60-percent new. Its
platform, interior and overall dimensions are basically the same as
before. Bold new sheet metal marked the exterior revisions. The updated
A4 also boasts a reworked front suspension that picked up numerous
components from the high-performance Audi S4. The rear came in for even
more revision with links and wheel carriers from the S4 and shock
absorbers from the A6. And two new direct-injection gasoline engines
reside under the sleek hood. The turbocharged 1.8T was bumped up to 2.0
liters and equipped with direct injection, yielding 200 horsepower. The
3.0-liter V6 was likewise upgraded to 3.2 liters, direct injection and
255 hp. The engines are hooked up to six-speeds, whether you choose the
manual or automatic.
2005 Audi A4 Owners Manual - Thanks to those who have reviewed about the 2005 Audi A4. Just like here, one of Audi A4 owner, Ashim writes about the audi — When you hammer the gas in the A4, there's a brief delay and then you get a nice spurt of acceleration. Same with the steering. There's a little play in the wheel when you corner; then the sporty sedan bites into the pavement. The A4 takes to the road the way a debutante enters a party: There's a period of deferential reserve before it warms to the scene. You want the A4 to get up and boogie. Its shapely design suggests performance, and its curves resemble those of the more exotic Audi TT roadster.
The cockpit grips you snugly, as if preparing the driver for some serious throttling. But the A4's head wins out over its heart, at least in the entry-level 1.8T model. It provides a refined ride that is spirited at times, but this car is too prim to let its hair down. The "Tiptronic" shifter that comes with the optional 5-speed automatic transmission reflects the A4's button-down soul. I was skeptical when I first pushed the gear selector out of conventional drive and over into clutchless shift mode, expecting a lazy driver's version of a stick shift. There is some of that. Moving through the Tiptronic's six gears requires nothing more than an effortless flick of the wrist. And in case you forget, the transmission downshifts for you when you slow down or stop. But there was some functionality on top of the faux racing schtick.
The Tiptronic shifts gears the instant you tap the stick forward, without the delay there would be with a clutch. It will keep the transmission in any gear you choose, if you feel you need the power, while providing a broader range of choice than a typical automatic transmission. But for regular driving, why bother? The Tiptronic got boring after awhile, especially since it didn't serve much of a purpose. And it began to seem like an innovation designed to enhance the A4's image as a road car more than the actual driving experience. There's a lot of that identify confusion going on in the A4, which strives to fulfill the luxury and performance expectations that come with the Audi brand while staying squarely under $30,000 at the low end. A leatherette interior is standard, for instance, but the same trim level doesn't include power seats. There's both luxury and performance in the A4, but not quite enough of either.
2004 Audi A4 Owners Manual - Welcome back, and please feel free to enjoy our service. According to aol autos, The Audi A4 represents a line of fantastic sports sedans. They deliver crisp handling, a firm ride, and a well-controlled suspension that make for a precise, high-quality driving experience. The A4 feels like it's on rails around fast sweepers, especially when equipped with Audi's quattro all-wheel-drive system, one of the world's best. Beautifully finished interiors exude quality and ergonomic excellence.
Performance and driveability vary by model. The turbocharged four-cylinder engine that comes on 1.8T models delivers excellent performance when paired with a manual gearbox and it's attractively priced, but the 1.8-liter engine doesn't work as well with the available automatic transmission. The V6 engine that comes on 3.0 models is wonderfully smooth and quite strong, and it works very well when paired with the optional automatic. The V8-powered S4 delivers awesome performance and serious enthusiasts love it, but its suspension may be too firm for most drivers.
The A4 was completely redesigned for 2002. Last year, the Cabriolet (convertible) and Avant (wagon) models joined the lineup. For 2004, Audi further expands the A4 family with the V8-powered S4, plus Audi's first Cabriolet quattros, available in both A4 3.0 and S4 trim, combining high performance with top-down exhilaration. A host of active and passive safety features help keep drivers on the road and protect passengers in an accident.
2003 Audi A4 Owners Manual - The review and the owners manual of this car is could be found in our blog. According to edmunds, The big news is the arrival of the A4 Cabriolet, a fetching drop-top
version of the A4 sedan. Initially, the company will offer only one
drivetrain choice -- front-wheel drive with the 3.0-liter V6 engine and
continuously variable transmission. Expect to see a 1.8T version midway
through the model year and a 3.0 quattro Cab by October 2003. No word
yet on the possibility of a manual transmission. As if this weren't
enough, Audi plans to release a coupe version of the A4 in early 2003.
The rest of the A4 lineup benefits from equipment upgrades. Leather is
now optional on all 1.8T models, as are 12-way power front seats. All
3.0s will come swathed in leather, with more deluxe leather optional.
Previous stand-alone options for the 3.0, including xenons and satellite
steering wheel controls, have been swept up into the Premium Package. A
new cold weather package includes seat heaters and a ski sack, and
17-inch all-season tires are a stand-alone extra.

2002 Audi A4 Owners Manual - We would like to share to you the review and the owners manual of 2002 Audi A4. According to edmunds, Audi's entry-level sedan and wagon are all new for 2002. Along with a redesigned body structure and new sheet metal, the new A4 receives a variety of changes to make it sportier. It is motivated by either a 170-horsepower 1.8-liter turbocharged four or a completely new 3.0-liter 220-horsepower V6, which can be mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Making its debut this year for non-quattro models is a continuously variable transmission (CVT), also known as multitronic. An in-dash six-disc CD changer and a dual-zone auto climate control top the standard features list.
When the Audi A4 debuted in the United States in 1995, it set forth the revitalization of the Audi brand. We've been impressed with the A4 since that time and have enjoyed driving the sedan, Avant wagon and the high-performance S4 and S4 Avant. But seven years is a long time for a car in the entry-level luxury car market, so Audi has completely redesigned the A4 sedan and wagon for 2002.
The new A4 is more sharply styled than before, with clear glass headlights, dual exhaust and a high waistline being this car's key identifiers. One of our complaints about the previous car, namely the stingy rear accommodations, has been addressed with a wheelbase lengthened by 1.3 inches and an overall increase of 2.7 inches. This results in increased legroom for both front and rear passengers, along with extra space for heads and shoulders.
2001 Audi A4 Owners Manual - Audi come back again with a new thing to be shared. According to edmunds, the entire Audi lineup receives a new 4-year/50,000-mile limited warranty and no-charge scheduled maintenance, a 12-year limited warranty against corrosion perforation, and 24-hour roadside assistance for four years. All A4s are now equipped with head protection airbags, have lengthier oil change intervals and an optional Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP). The 1.8T engine gets a horsepower boost from 150 to a racy 170 and meets ULEV standards.
Audi's A4 is sleek, sophisticated, speedy and has won praise from the worldwide automotive media. Small and safe, the A4 has scored well in government crash testing. For U.S. buyers, this translates into a competent alternative to the BMW 3 Series, the Acura TL and the Volvo S40, among others.
For 2001, four versions are available: the A4 1.8T Sedan and 1.8T Avant Wagon, and the A4 2.8 Sedan and 2.8 Avant Wagon. The numerical designations refer to engine size. The 1.8T models get a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine that now produces 170 horsepower and 166 foot-pounds of torque. Vehicles with a 2.8 designation have a 2.8-liter V6 filling their engine bays. The six-cylinder makes 190 horsepower and 207 foot-pounds of torque. Both engines can be ordered with a five-speed manual or a five-speed Tiptronic automanual transmission. Audi's quattro all-wheel-drive system is standard on Avant wagons and optional on the sedans.
2000 Audi A4 Owners Manual - This time is about the 2000 Audi A4. The review comes from autos aol. Audi serves up refinement in its A4 sedan and Avant (wagon) models. The A4 comes with a brilliantly designed interior, a smooth ride and excellent handling. It glides over the road, soaking up bumps, yet feels taut on winding roads. Keeping your foot down as you bend it through that high-speed sweeper doesn't cause a knot in your stomach. The A4 always feels like it's on rails.
A4 is available in sedan and wagon body styles. The wagon is called an Avant. Two engines are available, a turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 150 horsepower and a 2.8-liter V6 rated at 190 horsepower.
The A4 1.8T sedan starts at $23,990, while the 2.8-liter version retails for $28,790. The A4 1.8T Avant quattro wagon starts at $26,740, while the A4 2.8 Avant quattro wagon goes for $31,540. All come standard with a five-speed manual gearbox. A five-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission ($1,075) is optional. Standard upholstery is a choice of cloth or leatherette. Leather upholstery is optional on the 2.8 Sedan ($1,320).
1999 Audi A4 Owners Manual - One of the expert from cars.com named Bob Golfen has reviewed about this car. This is his review. Now comes Audi, fresh on the upswing with its fine new trio of sedans, A4, A6 and A8. This is a car company that has returned from purgatory, shrugging off the bogus "unintended acceleration" fiasco of the '80s and a mediocre product line, and bringing out a collection of vehicles of character and excellent road manners.
The handsome, driveable and even affordable A4 1.8 T Avant (e.g, station wagon) was a road-test car that I really wanted to keep. It's the kind of station wagon that makes me dig station wagons. Audi calls it a sport wagon, which might seem like an oxymoron until you get behind the wheel.
The little Avant drives and handles. Equipped with a five-speed stick shift and a surprisingly strong 1.8-liter turbocharged four, it scoots like a sports car. Sounds like one, too. Audi says it will go zero to 60 mph in 8.5 seconds, with the manual gearbox, which is pretty quick for a station wagon. This four is also smooth and quiet, with only a bit of four-cylinder boominess evident under hard acceleration. It does get a bit weak in the knees at low rpm, but not as bad as some other turbos. Shifting is smooth and precise.
The A4 Avant also is available with a 2.8-liter V-6, at a slightly higher price. A five-speed also is available with the six, a rarity in this market, especially in a station wagon. Handling and cornering have the kind of Germanic poise and precision that driving enthusiasts crave. Steering response is quick, the ride is firm and athletic, and the body feels stiff and tight. A twisting back road becomes a romp.
1998 Audi A4 Owners Manual -We come again with the news from Audi, it's 1998 Audi A4. We will provide to you the owners manual of this car. But before that, please read the recognition from Steve, one of the consumer of this car.
I "inheirited" this car when I was 18 years old. This was my mother's car since new, and he didnt want her commuting in a then-7-year-old car with 104,000 miles. So for her 50th birthday, he bought her a Mini Cooper S (which, by the way, is fantastic to drive).
I took over this car, and my previous car, my beloved 1987 Jeep Wrangler, went back to my cousin because the insurance cost was unbelievably high. I had been driving this car since I was a junior in high school because, before I got the Jeep, this was usually the car I drove because my older sister had priority over the car that we shared.
I learned how to drive stick, and she didn't, so I would always get to borrow Mom's car. She's a beautiful 1998 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro that my parents bought new when we moved back to the US from France. My mom wanted a stick shift, and my dad wanted AWD, a combination that was exclusively provided by Audi in the late 1990s. The 2.8-litre V6 engine was updated that year, going from a single-overhead-camshaft (12-valve) configuration to a dual-overhead-camshaft with 5-valves-per-cylinder (for a total of 30 valves) and variable valve timing, which boosted output from 172 to 190 horsepower.
