Good design, bad engineering

Exterior One of the best simplistic, non-gawdy and futuristic designs among German cars.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Too tight! 4 people who are all 5'10" and above, just can not ride in this car! Features are as per standards, nothing out of the ordinary. Sound system, Air conditioning, etc is GOOD!

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Too weak unless it's a Quattro and/or a 3.2L engine. I like the fact that these cars are heavy, and stick to the road unlike Hondas and Toyotas. It took VW years to get rid of the Audi Engine Vibrations and the break-squeal - even the cheapest of the cheap cars got it right the first time.

Ride Quality & Handling Average to Good 

Final Words I hate this car mechanically, and I know it's not a "machine", but I still like the A4 for some reason - looks better than the BMW for sure (but only visually)  

Areas of improvement Almost everything under the hood and interiors. Audi makers - ride in a similar priced Mercedes or a BMW, and then take note what you've never been able to figure out!
