2008 Audi A4 Review Summary
The 2008 Audi A4 is noted as a very competitive offering in Upscale Midsize Cars by most reviewers and is ranked number 3 in its class by Allcarguies.com. Its good fuel mileage and low base price (options though can get pricey) edges out the Lexus 350, Cadillac CTS and Acura TL. As noted by many reviewers, each of the top 5 cars in this class that is reviewed by Allcarguides.com is an excellent choice and you almost can not go wrong. There were only modest changes to the 2008 model and we expect a new model A4 next year. The A4 comes in three body types sedan, convertible and wagon and all come in the high performance S trim as well. Finally there is also the super-performance RS 4 sedan and convertible. The 2 options for engine, are not the most capable in this highly competitive class, as the 2.0 liter v4 turbocharged (there is more turbo lag then the BMW 3 Series) produces 200 horsepower and 207 torque and 3.0 liter V6 has 255 horsepower and 243 torque. The interior design is considered by many to be impeccable and seats are firm. The all wheel drive Quattro system improves handling and control but is expensive but will be appealing to those seeking all out performance and great traction.

2008 Audi A4 Review Handling
Most reviewers considered the A4 to be slightly less responsive then the BMW 3 Series and Infinity G35. However the all wheel drive Quattro provides considerably better cornering and traction.

2008 Audi A4 Review Safety
The Audi A4 comes with standard safety features include antilock brakes, traction control, stability control, front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. The convertible come with front side airbags that protect the head and torso and rear support bars designed to pop up automatically in a rollover. In National Highway Transportation Safety Administration frontal crash tests, the A4 rated four stars out of five; in side impact testing, the car earned a perfect five stars for front occupants and four stars for those seated in rear.

2008 Audi A4 Noteworthy
The A4 is fuel efficient with 21/29 so leads its class. It received 5 out 5 in safety tests and has good traction as a result of Quattro system. The Quatro system was highly recommended by a few reviewers as being able to corner and grip the road very well. Many convertibles have very limited cargo are but the A4 Cabriolet is clever as it has variable cargo space when the top is up. The S line especially sport tuned suspension lowers the car by an inch and makes cornering even more fun. The Audi A4's poor iPod integration and archaic navigation system are considered some of the poorest interior technologies in the luxury medium size sports sedan category.
