Audi has tried long and hard to make its a4 as desirable as the bmw 3-series but hasn't quite succeeded, at least until now. While the bmw may still have the edge on ultimate driver appeal, the 2008 a4 is a better all rounder. A step forward: as beautifully finished as ever, audi has ensured the a4 saloon is priced a little lower than premium alternatives and is more generous with equipment. Build quality was never in question, but the a4 also offers unrivalled interior space, superb comfort, improved driving dynamics and excellent refinement - making it one of the class favourites.
There's also a great choice of engines offering everything from economy and low emissions to high performance options available. Despite this, the a4 is one of audi’s best sellers and a big favourite among private buyers and company car drivers alike. It has a roomy interior, superb ride and handling, large boot, top quality cabin, low emissions which mean low running costs.
