Used 2005 Audi A4 for Sale near Ottawa, ON
With refined styling and an upscale cabin, the redesigned Audi A4 punches above its weight class.
Through the late 1990s, and into the early part of the century, Audi has enjoyed something of a styling renaissance. Cars like the A4 sedan and TT coupe have shown Audi’s ability to deliver world-class styling—and performance to back it up.
With the A4, Audi finally has a legitimate competitor to the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The A4 has been redesigned for 2005, and while the previous-generation model marched to the beat of its own drum, this redesign is clearly aimed at beating the 3 Series and C-Class at their own game.
4.7 Overall rating
(63 reviews)The looks were fantastic, always had a love for this styling, especially with the wrap, this car as an easy head turner, grabs a lot of attention and always spotting people staring at our car lol. I love this car.
Just got it. It's simply awesome. Lot's of power, but still not enough, great styling, handles like it's on rails. I've tried to get it loose, it just sticks to the road. Great on gas too, 32 mpg!!! If you want a STI or Evo but are short on $$, get this instead, it won't let you down.
When you hammer the gas in the A4, there's a brief delay and then you get a nice spurt of acceleration. Same with the steering. There's a little play in the wheel when you corner; then the sporty sedan bites into the pavement. The A4 takes to the road the way a debutante enters a party: There's a period of deferential reserve before it warms to the scene. You want the A4 to get up and boogie. Its shapely design suggests performance, and its curves resemble those of the more exotic Audi TT roadster. The cockpit grips you snugly, as if preparing the driver for some serious throttling. But the A4's head wins out over its heart, at least in the entry-level 1.8T model. It provides a refined ride that is spirited at times, but this car is too prim to let its hair down. The "Tiptronic" shifter that comes with the optional 5-speed automatic transmission reflects the A4's button-down soul. I was skeptical when I first pushed the gear selector out of conventional drive and over into clutchless shift mode, expecting a lazy driver's version of a stick shift. There is some of that. Moving through the Tiptronic's six gears requires nothing more than an effortless flick of the wrist. And in case you forget, the transmission downshifts for you when you slow down or stop. But there was some functionality on top of the faux racing schtick. The Tiptronic shifts gears the instant you tap the stick forward, without the delay there would be with a clutch. It will keep the transmission in any gear you choose, if you feel you need the power, while providing a broader range of choice than a typical automatic transmission. But for regular driving, why bother? The Tiptronic got boring after awhile, especially since it didn't serve much of a purpose. And it began to seem like an innovation designed to enhance the A4's image as a road car more than the actual driving experience. There's a lot of that identify confusion going on in the A4, which strives to fulfill the luxury and performance expectations that come with the Audi brand while staying squarely under $30,000 at the low end. A leatherette interior is standard, for instance, but the same trim level doesn't include power seats. There's both luxury and performance in the A4, but not quite enough of either.
Bought it brand new, have put 80000k's on it and still love it big time.
Red leather is great, heated seats are best I have ever sat in. Great handling and tight steering. Looks great on the road, gets compliments. Top is very easy to clean. Overall, great car. Quattro is a great benefit especially in the winter.
