Price Range: £21,665 to £34,855

Assets

Good-looking; attractive interior; turbo petrol engines.

Drawbacks

Not hugely roomy; overlight steering; extra-cost S-line suspension necessary for a sporting drive.

Verdict

A great drive with the right suspension and steering set-ups, rather nondescript otherwise.

Audi A4 Avant Review

Reliability and Quality4 out of 5

The A4 is very well finished, with a top-notch feel inside and out. Attention to detail is excellent, and while there is a lot of complex technology, this should be thoroughly de-bugged.

There were a few issues with the last-generation model's Multitronic gearbox, and some electrical/electronic glitches, but nothing too alarming. The ignition coil problems of the 1.8-litre turbo engine have also been sorted.
