Most Helpful Review

Sportback after 7000 kms

It is a flashy car and you will get the best looks in this price range but mileage and features will be a tradeoff for the sporty looks. Not even a 360 camera at this price. City mileage sometimes drops to pathetic levels as low as 6.5 kmpl. The drive feel is good and acceleration and stability at high speeds are impressive.

Audi A4 is great

Audi a4 is great and all feature of this car good. i like red color is super. instead of top end Audi a4 model you can get all the feature. this is one of the best car and performance this car good
