“Have you ever read a bad review of the A4? I haven't and this car lives up to all expectations, superb quality, great to drive and good to look at.”

Mr Guy Poyser - Derbyshire

“When I wash it it looks as good as new, It looks great from all angles, it hasn't aged, (yet) and it sounds good for a diesel.”

Mr Graham Owen - Cheltenham

“The Audi A4 Avant 1.9tdi sport I have driven for the last 4 years, is by far and away the best compromise for a real world car. Offering space, quality, reliability, speed, acceleration and good looks. The Audi dealerships are in a different league to anything I have experienced before, both in terms of environment and ambience with staff who are proud to care.”

Mr David Jackson – West Mids

“An economical, very well built, very good to drive car which is very nice to look at and be in. I am very pleased with it.”

Mr Chris Graham - Devon

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 11th)

Dropping out of the top 10 will be disappointing for Audi. Although it lags behind arch-rival BMW, it has at least beaten Volvo and Mercedes. Part of the reason for the firm’'s drop could be reliability niggles. Over the last three years, just over half of Audi’'s customers reported some sort of fault – – that'’s more than Ford, which is hard to justify, given the price of four-ringed top-sellers.
