2000 Audi A4 Review Summary & Specs
Base Sedan
This is one great sedan.
Summary & Specs
reviewed by
Audi's A4 is a high-quality sedan with posh furnishings, comprehensive features. It comes loaded with character and refinement. With its seamless operation, it is a joy to drive and ride in. And it's a lot of fun to drive fast. Audi A4 comes with so much technology and so many features that we don't have space to cover it all; you'll need to study the product brochure for that.
The A4 Avant wagon truly special. It will outperform most sedans in this size class, and its sleek styling makes sport-utilities seem clunky, boring, and clumsy.
