An appealingly affordable European.

1997 A4 Review Summary & Specifications

In the face of formidable opposition, the small Audis continue to impress

us. They are well-equipped, carefully-assembled cars that combine style,

fine road manners, comfort and reasonable--if not exciting--performance

in a reasonably priced package. If they're not the best buys in their class,

either A4 certainly comes close.
