Pros: Nimble handling and crisp, communicative steering feel; impressive cabin materials; peppy acceleration with decent fuel economy
Cons: Tight back-seat space, some testers find Audi’s MMI control system to be overly complicated; prices escalate quickly with options
CG Says: The 2015 Audi A4 is little changed. In addition to some minor trim reshuffling, all A4s now get three-zone climate control, xenon lighting, and LED taillights as standard equipment. The A4 is a smooth, comfortable car for everyday commuting and an athletic corner carver during joyrides on twisty roads. Though back-seat passengers may be a little crowded, overall this German sedan is a great compromise between sport sedan and practical, sensible transportation.
