2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The 505-horsepower Giulia Quadrifoglio, its turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 engine essentially three-quarters of a Ferrari V8, has been receiving the bulk of media and enthusiast attention. In comparison, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with a single overhead cam sounds boring. But that single cam manipulates the lift as well as the... Comparison vehicle: 2017 Audi A4 |

2017 Audi A4 Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Audi led the way to turbocharging, fitting most of its cars with turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines about a decade before everyone else followed suit, and the make's latest such engine will leave few drivers feeling the need for more cylinders. The new engine, rated for 252 horsepower (up from 220)... Comparison vehicle: 2016 Lexus IS |

A Love/Hate Relationship with my (ex) A4 B7 Avant 2006 Audi A4 / S4 Pros and Cons amkc 2.0T was great on the highway and in the city. Never seemed to feel too underpowered when you needed it. |

2012 Audi S4 (not A4) - fun but far from perfect 2012 Audi A4 / S4 Pros and Cons Brian It does well but the raw power is somewhat muted by all the computers designed to give the car good driveability and manners. If you buy one, look for the sport diff (comes in the prestige package I believe) as it really improves the car's ability to corner. |

Audi A4 2.0T Quattro 2006 Audi A4 / S4 Pros and Cons Member6414 Auto Transmission has no clue what the engine is doing, or maybe even that it's a transmission. When it has showed for work, it constantly shuffles around through it's 6 gears at any speed below 45mph. Above 45MPH you will always find it in 6th gear, always. It annoyingly favors... |

2008 AUDI RS4 2008 Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 Pros and Cons Member4263 Superb V8 that revs like the dickens all the way to 8k rpm. Stock tuning is a bit weird when not in Sport mode, as you can really feel the power being limited down low. The throttle is extremely responsive in Sport mode, and really adds a sense of urgency... |

I would not buy this car again, and cannot wait to unload it. Probably something simpler next time. 2012 Audi A4 / S4 Pros and Cons Member4902 The ZF 8 speed transimission is terrible. Mine jerks/bumps/bogs/surges/and makes tons of noise. It gets praise in the press but mine has been horrible. It has been to the dealer multiple times to only be told it's operating within specification. I don't understand the hype. I've had this transmission for... |

2003 Audi A4 Pros and Cons A member in Michigan, United States Yes, it burns fuel when you drive aggressively. It's a low MPG car, but you can squeeze decent performance out of it. I average 20 MP in the city and up to 31 MPG on the freeway. More if I use premium. |

Why the B6/7 S4 is a great car 2004 Audi A4 / S4 Pros and Cons A member in Washington, United States This motor is a great beast of a thing. It pulls solidly through the RPM range, has great torque even in sixth gear for overtaking, and runs great all day on the track during HPDE's. I have had no issues with the drivetrain to this point, BUT regular synthetic oil... |

2009 Audi A4 / S4 Pros and Cons AudiDan I am in sales and need the ability to travel in all conditions from dry roads to heavy snown cover. The Quattro part of the drivetrain allows this. The 2 liter 4 cyl engine affords pretty good gas mileage and the turbo adds the guts to merge with traffic. |

Do not buy B6 or B7 series! 2006 Audi A4 / S4 Pros and Cons A member in Michigan, United States This car is a rocket! |

2012 Audi A4 / S4 Pros and Cons Member5581 Under rated numbers. It feels faster than the 211HP advertised. But there is notable turbo lag under 2500-3000RPM. |
|
2011 Audi A4 / S4 Pros and Cons Member4534 Excellent - the best car I have owned over the years. |
|
2007 Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 Pros and Cons Member5435 The sound of the 4.2L V8 is music to my ears. |

2001 Audi A4 Pros and Cons John F All wheel drive makes slippery conditions, including deep snow a lot safer. The V6 delivers good performance, is smooth and quiet. The transmission is silky smooth. |
