Used Audi A4 for Sale near Reno, NV
Not merely a replacement for the old Audi 80 and 90, the 1996 Audi A4 represents a redesign of its classic family sedan. It is a little shorter and wider, with a sturdier suspension and body. A more angled roof line and lower hood increase visibility and headroom. Inside, as always, Audi offers a lot of standard features for no extra cost. This is basically a family sedan if you're looking to ride in style and comfort.
The Audi A4 is available as a front-wheel drive or AWD quattro sedan, both with a 2.8-liter, 172-hp V6 engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. A 5-speed automatic comes optional. This four-dour family sedan is high on comfort and performance, if not necessarily on speed and acceleration. A stronger suspension and precise sensitive steering, make the Audi A4 easy to drive. Interior standard features such as air conditioning, dual climate control, tilt steering, cruise control, and power windows and locks make you feel like you're in a more expensive car. Leather upholstery and heated seat options add to the luxury feel.
Features that 1996 A4 owners love are the confident quattro handling, excellent brakes, and smooth ride. Owners agree they feel safe when behind the wheel of an Audi A4, an important feature for a family car. Low marks go to the cramped back seat, useless cupholders, wind noise, and awkward manual shifting. Drivers also wish for more horsepower and less costly repairs.
4.3 Overall rating
(63 reviews)Performance-acceleration in this car is quick for only having 172 hp. But it will toss your head back a little. Braking is excellent and the handling is superb just stock from the factory. Build Quality- The car has needed general maintenance, such as timing belt, brakes and that sort of thing. The is some wind noise at speeds in excess of 75 mile per hour, but nothing else. Car is german and german=awesome. Appearance- Styling of this car is classic. It never looks old or outdated. Interior is classy with leather seats and wood accents. Exterior design exudes elegance and power. Cost of Ownership- I average about 25 MPG total with 29 or 30 on the highway. Maintenance cost is a little bit higher than say, a Honda, but you get what you pay for with this car. You will not be disappointed with any aspect of it. Fun Factor- This car is a blast! You have a lot of fun with just the stock performance and handling of the car. It is very trackable and fun to bomb through canyon roads with. If you put a performance exhaust kit on it, you will not be disappointed with the growl that comes from the engine. This is definitely one of the most fun cars I've ever driven. I would recommend this car to anyone looking to have a car that looks good, but can also drive like the European sports car it really is. If you have the means to purchase one, I suggest that you do!
Strong engine this 174 hp V6. Pulling very well at any speed. Gear rations are spot on, and nothing to argue about the braking system. What is impressive, is the way the "Quattro" system can find traction anywhere. Perfect car for winter, and that's basically its use. Build quality is at modern Audis level and only the look might have dated a little bit. It's not a very cheap car to own, but I've seen worse. Definitely a great all rounder.
I had a 1996 Audi A4 Quattro as my first vehicle. Overall I would say I was very satisfied with it. The Quattro AWD system is truly phenomenal in bad weather. Lots of luxury features, powerful engine and smooth shifting transmission make for a very enjoyable ride. Gas millage wasn't bad for a V6 AWD car either. Good looking, safe, reliable vehicle. The only downsides to the A4 in my opinion would be the electrical system, and expensive maintenance costs.
Beautiful car, quick, its a sedan sleeper. can keep up with modified cars pretty well. Love the car, rugged, can outrun the cops without worry. Brilliant car. Heated leather seats get the girls...gorgeous interior, luxurious and comfortable.. great over all. handles like a dream, in the snow perfect for doing donuts, good rally offroading, good for road racing a friend. holds up good dispite all the abuse.
Another one of my brother's cars. This one seems to be putting up with the rough justice of being owned by my brother quite well. It is 12 years old, so there have been a few items that have needed some work lately - but that's to be expected. A comfortable car, the A4 was Audi's first successful attempt at cracking the BMW 3 series and Mercedes C Class market. It was the model that really put Audi on the map and has been the foundation for what is an impressive model line-up. Audi dispensed with its venerable 5 cylinder and inserted either a new 4 cylinder engine (with turbo option) or the new V6 of either 2.6 or 2.8 litres. The V6 is a torquey and powerful unit, and when attached to a manual gearbox, makes for exciting performance. The trim quality is typical VW/Audi - just about faultless. The interior is made of high quality materials that wear well and look attractive over 10 years on. Occasional electrical faults are to be expected, as with any German car over 10 years old. Well equipped in even standard form, the first series A4 is now a relative bargain and servicing costs aren't as crippling as some people will have you believe (especially compared with some Asian manufacturers). A sensible choice for someone wanting a quality car at a reasonable price - but make sure it's got a full service history.
