Audi Gets A for Effort

ENGINE The 2.0-litre 20 valve in-line four cylinder engine is reasonably smooth but not particularly quiet or torquey

INTERIOR Interior is much the same as that of the old car, which means that it’s excellent. Build quality is the best

REAR The rear treatment is now neater, scalloped tail lamp clusters and smoother bumpers make for a tauter look

You can always bet on Audi to turn out impeccably styled, lovingly built and detailed cars and the new A4 is no exception.

The fact that the drive’s been improved is the new ice cream centre of a cake that previously was better to look at than it was to actually eat. The only real niggle is the drivetrain, a problem that’s easily sorted, if your wallet allows, that is.
