Audi A4 Review

Running Costs4 out of 5

Specifically developed with an eye to the fleet and company car market, the A4 is cheaper to run than the 3-Series or E-Class, claims Audi. Strong resale values, economical engines and low tax bandings (especially for the diesels) help keep the pence-per-mile at a relatively low rate for a car of this type.
