2012 Audi A4 - Entering luxury.
Buying an Audi was one of my most memorable car experiences so far. I bought the car used at approx. 70,000 miles with one previous owner, who took very good care of it. I have had my Audi for just over a year and there has been no problems, I have only done routine maintenance for it such as oil changes and tire rotations. The material that composes the body is made with superior quality such that the doors are heavy and will swing back if you do not hold them! The exterior of the car is magnificent, and the HID dotted curved highlights are amazing to look at. The interior is a beige which would have been black instead, but that's not too much to complain about. The slick interior feel when sitting down makes you feel like you're in a sport car but still has a refined sense to it to m... (more)

The interior is a beige which would have been black instead, but that's not too much to complain about. The slick interior feel when sitting down makes you feel like you're in a sport car but still has a refined sense to it to make it luxurious as well. The performance of the cars matches its price point and offers a Sport mode and Triptronic mode where you can shift at your own pleasure. The technological side of the 2012 A4 could be improved as the main source for audio uses a plug meant for the iPhone 4 and there is no blue tooth on the trim that I purchased. You must buy an adapter to connect the 30 pin end of the audio plug to whatever your device uses. If you want to save money on gas, the car gets good fuel economy while driving normally on D. If you want to have a little fun and enjoy the Audi's 250 lb-ft torque, then shift into sport mode and re-fill a little more often. The vehicle does only take 91 Octane and above, so you will be spending a little more than a normal vehicle. Those are some of the cons of the vehicle, but with the beauty that the exterior exudes, and the comfort and fun that the A4 provides, the pros far outweigh the cons.
Driving around downtown in my city and playing music with the windows down was very memorable. Last summer my friends and I drove through the city and eventually onto the back-roads to take the sporty side of the car for a spin and had a blast.

My absolute favorite feature of the vehicle was the Bang and Olufsen speakers that came inside my vehicle. with 12 speakers, and bass was deep and felt amazing with all of my favorite songs. The sounds of the music would vibrate on my chair and double as a massage chair at times! The engine noise also sounds deep and powerful with you shift into sport mode and the power pulls you back to your seat at times. The headlights on the A4 are absolutely stunning.

The HID headlights are dotted and with a slick curvy design that gives the look of the car from the front an aggressive but luxurious look. Even at a low trim, like the Premium, the car comes equipped with fully auto windows, auto reclining and lumbar support, dual climate front and back seats, and large sunroof. I have a lot of tall friends and whenever we drive in my other friends compact cars they complain about not having a lot of room, but in the A4, both the front and back seats are designed with a whole lot of comfort room so they have never complained in my car!
The most hassling parts about my Audi A4 would be the infotainment. Even though the system itself is decent in playing music, making phone calls and navigating the system, the plug in source is outdated. It is also hard to find an adapter for the plug, as it originally is designed only for the iPhone 4, and most people now have newer phones. The lowest trim A4 also does not come with blue-tooth, so the only way to play your own music with the infotainment system is to find an adapter.

Another option is to use the AUX cord, but that is located inside the glove compartment, therefore you could need to keep your phone inside it whenever you want to play your own music, or you would have a long AUX cord hanging outside of your glove box! Besides that, the steering wheel is also four spoked ( which is a very subjective con) and doesn't look as visually appealing as a three spoke steering wheel.
2012 Audi A4 - Great German standard that holds up!
I love how gentle the ride is overall as it has that tight German suspension Audi is known for. I love the interior for being such an older car as it has a lot of the modern touches and feeling that new cars evoke with great, ergonomic controls that are robust and high quality. The car drives like a dream and stays stuck to the road with a huge amount of power and control from the all wheel drive system.

I drove this to Las Vegas on a guy's trip with a bunch of friends to break it in. I loved how cozy and comfortable it was and how much it felt like a new car. It seriously is a dream.

I love how comfortable this car is. We know that German's have the "go fast - comfortably" part down, but wow does this feel great! I love how cozy the seats are and how fast it is at the same time. The interior is insanely quiet and well-sealed with a great console and perfect placed steering and shifting controls. I also love the short-throw shifter that comes with it as standard.

The only complaint would be the mpg, as we don't buy these types of cars with that in mind, but given its age, I would expect it not to be so bad on gas. Thankfully, this is just a fun extra car I use here and there and isn't my daily driver. It may simply need a tune-up, but this is my only gripe.
