2012 Audi A4 Premium Quattro
145,xxx miles
2.0 Liter Turbo

EXTREMELY RARE FIND HERE, the Audi A4 is a superb road car with all-wheel drive, a compliant, well-tuned suspension and high-quality interior trimmings. A premium compact, the A4 comes equipped with leather, automatic climate control and a range of options associated with larger luxury cars. It comes with a smooth 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers solid mid-range power for good drivability around town. The A4 is a delight to drive. They are compliant enough to soak up bumps (especially these Milwaukee potholes) like a larger car but firm enough to feel solid and stable to its electronically limited top speed of 130 mph (180 on the dash but I only managed to get to 130 before I was scared). Safety features for all A4s include two-stage driver and adaptive passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, curtain airbags, driver knee airbag, active headrests; electronic stability control, ABS, EBD, Brake Assist, and tire pressure monitors. It shares the split-grille common to all front-engine Audis, with points on the lower air dam that mimic crab pincers. The headlamp housings are boldly horizontal, and the light elements draw the eye up and back at the corners. The wheelbase, the space between the front and rear axles, is 110.6 inches, long by compact sedan standards. To minimize any limousine look the lower character line along the doors sweeps progressively upward toward the rear wheel, and the shoulder character line just below the windows tapers off as it passes the rear door and curves through the taillight lens as it fades in to the fender. The daytime running lights can be disabled through MMI. The HID headlights provide better nighttime vision for the A4 driver and have a speed-dependent adjustment, and the DRLs make the A4 stand out so other drivers see it sooner (EASILY THE BEST FEATURE ON THE CAR). Horizontally themed tail light housings frame the rear end. The trunk and cargo hatch openings are slightly closer to the ground than in previous generation models for easier loading. Front seats are electrically adjusted with four-way power lumbar support for the driver and manual headrests that adjust for height but not angle. With generous travel in the tilt-and-telescoping steering column everyone should be both comfortable and properly positioned for driving, and seat support will easily last a tank of fuel on the highway. The rear seat is best for two adults or three kids; the center floor hump and console are similar to what you find in most compact four-doors. Seat cushions are pleasantly long and the low-profile headrests on the back seats ensure good rearward vision without passengers yet lift enough to provide passenger comfort and protection. A substantial center armrest offers cupholders and storage within, and doesn't make you fall inward or outward to relax on one arm. Rear seat reading lights and seatback nets are standard, as are LED footwell lights for the toe room under the front seats. To me Audi dropped the ball with the interior. The big moonroof does make it feel more spacious than it actually is. The A4 driver faces a dashboard modeled after other recent Audis (Which is were Audi really dropped the ball), with the console slightly tilted left and center dash angled toward the driver and carried to the same height as the instrument pod; passengers can still reach those controls but it flows to the driver better. The center armrest top slides fore/aft and all the controls are within easy reach, the ergonomics faultless. I personally would prefer the gate for the manual mode on the automatic transmission shifter on the left side (closer to driver) than the right, but it is what it is. Between the two primary gauges is a message center for gear selected and engaged, radio data, range remaining, outside temperature and so forth. The MMI (multimedia interface) command dial is in the center of the radio panel just below the vents, and it and the similar control for climate immediately below it are illustrated on the screen. Many of the audio and setup controls can be run through the thumbwheels on the steering wheel that both rotate and push-to-click. MAYBE THE BEST FEATURE IN THE WHOLE CAR IS IT HAS SIRUIS XM RADIO FOR LIFE. Over 300 channels from music to sports to politics. This is the loudest factory radio I’ve ever heard in my life (Maybe that’s why it’s called Audi Concert). The words to every song is as crisp as a computer. With all that packed into a small four-door, storage spaces are at a premium. Each door has a map pocket that will hold a bottle, both center armrests have small bins, seatbacks have net pockets, and the surprising glovebox can hold more than some papers and the owner's manual. Beyond that, you're headed to the trunk. The A4's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder is designed with everyday use in mind. With direct injection and variable exhaust valve lift, the Audi engine starts quickly and at idle has the faintest muffled ticking (scared me to death when I first bought it, but all of them do it) Above that it's smoother because the turbocharger is spooled up and generating boost. The 2.0T delivers 211 horsepower yet far more important for the Wisconsin driver in a 35 mph world is torque, and the A4's 2.0T dishes up 258 lb-ft of it. The A4 2.0T can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7 seconds or less (Don’t ask me how I know lol). Most impressive is the width of the powerband, that area of engine speed that delivers maximum power. The 2.0 turbo makes big torque from just off idle at 1500 rpm all the way to 4200 rpm. It will rev to 6700 rpm, but there isn't much point when you've got that much midrange power. None of the competitors has that kind of flexibility. This makes the A4 pleasant around town. I did take her from Milwaukee to about Wisconsin Rapids on 03/13 which is a little under a 3 hour drive and she handled it extremely well. Quattro makes acceleration easier and has differential locks for best low-speed traction. The default split sends 60 percent of engine output to the rear wheels for better driving dynamics and balance. All-wheel drive is more effective for acceleration than traction control because the latter achieves grip by reducing the accelerative force of the front tires. But remember that all-wheel drive merely provides accelerative force to propel the car, and to a lesser extent steer it in low-traction conditions. It does not repeal the laws of physics and uses the same tires and brakes to slow the car (MEANING YOUR NOT INVINCIBLE IN SNOW). Weight plays a part in virtually every aspect of a car in motion. Most of the A4's suspension pieces are forged aluminum, as is the front crossmember; the anti-roll bars are hollow and the steering rack has been positioned for less weight in the moving parts. The rear suspension is sort of a small-scale A6 setup with toe-control trapezoidal links and separate spring and shock mounts that allow a lower floor but more suspension travel, a win-win situation. A very nice commuter without breaking the fuel bank, I’ve only put Premium in since purchased, which is a little expensive right now. All lights and electronics work. She has always fired right up and drives straight down the road. THIS CAR LOOKS GOOD AND RIDES GREAT. GERMAN ENGINEERING AT ITS FINEST.

The bad:
It's saying it needs a quart of oil but I just got the oil changed and it is full.(PLEASE BRING A MECHANIC NOT TRYING TO HIDE ANYTHING).

Will need a rear hub bearing, you can hear the rubbing noise at higher speeds.

It’s saying a light bulb is out, but the car comes with so many damn lights I can’t find the one that’s blown.
