Its a very good car if you buy a new one... Second hand can be a problem because after the first 3-5 years, they begin to need repair.. Repair is not as cheap and infrequent as Toyota, but the performace of Audi and its style of luxury is very top quality... Also they are very fuel efficient for the class of car... Audi likes to use small cylinder engines and then turbo charge them or tune them for high performance... Small cylinder means low fuel feed into combustion.... The only disadvantage is that you will repair an Audi more often than a Toyota and it may cost more to do so..If you are buying 2nd hand, dont be surprised if you will be repairing it within the first year.. They still remain strong and worthy road machines.. If you are buying a new 2015, it is possible to find other more reliable fuel efficient performance cars... But Audi has a style and performace quality that is very unique. Audi has the Quattro system available in its fleet. It is a very advanced all wheel drive system with built in traction and stability control. Very few car makers match the all wheel drive system Audi offers, only the likes Mercedes can compete. Check to see if the A4 you are interested in is Quattro drive, Quattro will serve well in rain soaked dirt roads, designed to hold the road even in ice and rain .. A4 has been popular for the 1.8 T engine which is small cylinder with advanced Turbo charge . The interior styling is quite tasteful and rare. Comparable only to classic quality german cars.. I am Not sure what new changes have come about in the latest models.. These days they are making revolutionary specification surprises every year.. 6 Likes |

This el cheapo is looking at the fuel economy of a luxurious 4 cylinder and trying to compare it to a Camry I say he is looking at the wrong car if his comparison is a Camry. Open if fuel economy is a problem you can't afford an Audi. |

The Audi A4 comes in 4 generations: Audi A4 B5 - 1995 - 2001. Audi A4 B6 - 2001 - 2005. Audi A4 B7 - 2005 - 2008. Audi A4 B8 - 2008 - present. Jenny, if you could give some idea which model year you're after, with engine size, drive and transmission type, it would really help. |

OP If you have the money it is a good car.It is more expensive than the Camry with better features.Fuel economy is good just be aware of the import duty before placing your order |

Ow abt a review of the 2nd generation audi a4 esp the non turbo engines, that car is a beauty to behold and has top marks for that, would u say the same concerning its reliability and performance |

19naia:With this plenty epistle you ended up confusing the Op, dude said it clearly that he is buying a direct Belgium why then you keep on emphasizing on new and second hand. |
Re: Please How Efficient Is Audi A4, I Want To Buy A Direct Belgium by chucky234(m): 7:27am On Apr 17, 2015 |

If you are concerned about fuel economy then get the 2003 A4 fitted 1.8L I-4 engine, AWD quattro, it churns out 170 @ 5,900 rpm flawlessly. Very fuel efficient, 25 MPG: 21 City, 29 Hwy. It is a great car and will keep your neigbours' eyes glue to your driveway. 2 Likes |

chucky234: Does "Direct Belgium Buy" imply that it is new or used? Maybe i am not sure what that means... |
Re: Please How Efficient Is Audi A4, I Want To Buy A Direct Belgium by chucky234(m): 8:07am On Apr 17, 2015 |
19naia:Direct Belgium refers to foreign used cars popularly known as tokunbo in Nigeria, new refers to brand new while second hand or fairly used refers to pre-registered cars called Naija used. 2 Likes |

chucky234: no i am not and i still stand by the fact that there is really no basis for comparison between a camry and an A4, |

aaidel:Which of the Camry are you referring to, don't tell me it is the same bland,shapeless and soulless car made by Toyota. 1 Like |
Re: Please How Efficient Is Audi A4, I Want To Buy A Direct Belgium by aaidel(m): 2:19am On Apr 19, 2015 |
chucky234: yup it may be bland shapcaeless and soulless but its one of the best in its class a midsize economy sedan and you cant be comparing it with a small luxury sedan different cars targetted at different markets 1 Like |
Re: Please How Efficient Is Audi A4, I Want To Buy A Direct Belgium by chucky234(m): 3:51pm On Apr 19, 2015 |
aaidel:The A4 maybe targeted at the entry sedan market but it is everything the Camry is not, a C-class and A4 will make Camry of same year look dumb. |
Re: Please How Efficient Is Audi A4, I Want To Buy A Direct Belgium by sultaan(m): 4:52pm On Apr 19, 2015 |
chucky234: And the owner.... |
Re: Please How Efficient Is Audi A4, I Want To Buy A Direct Belgium by aaidel(m): 4:58pm On Apr 19, 2015 |
chucky234: as far as i am concerned its apples and oranges the camry cannot be said to be an alternative to an A4 the C class, 3 series and IS would be better alternatives 1 Like |

Pls, does anybody have audi A4 2003 edition? I'm interested in it. |
Re: Please How Efficient Is Audi A4, I Want To Buy A Direct Belgium by chucky234(m): 5:17pm On Apr 19, 2015 |
aaidel:Lexus IS ? Mention the model year let's do the comparison and see where it takes us, the only Lexus that can push a German car to the brink is the LS which is a full size sedan in same category as Benz S. Class, BMW 7 series and Audi A8. |

Re: Please How Efficient Is Audi A4, I Want To Buy A Direct Belgium by aaidel(m): 5:24pm On Apr 19, 2015 |
chucky234: i dont understand what you are saying the IS was developed to compete with the C class, 3 series and A4 and is actually a very good alternative to the above mentioned cars. is it a better car? thats left to the buyer but is it a genuine alternative yes it is |
Re: Please How Efficient Is Audi A4, I Want To Buy A Direct Belgium by chucky234(m): 5:29pm On Apr 19, 2015 |
aaidel:Yes the IS is Lexus' direct competitor to the A4, BMW 3series and Benz C class but that doesn't mean it can beat any of them head-head, base trim of the C class will have base trim IS for lunch anywhere and anytime. |

Re: Please How Efficient Is Audi A4, I Want To Buy A Direct Belgium by aaidel(m): 5:40pm On Apr 19, 2015 |
chucky234: like i said saying which is the better car is a subjective thing what you might like someone else might not and looking at online reviews some years of the IS were actually rated better than the C class but at least we are now on the same page not the A4 vs camry page lol |
Re: Please How Efficient Is Audi A4, I Want To Buy A Direct Belgium by chucky234(m): 5:49pm On Apr 19, 2015 |
aaidel:Like I said in my first post which is the root of this argument, Camry might be a midsize sedan while the A4 is an entry level sedan but the A4 is everything the Camry will only dream of and shouldn't be mentioned in same sentence as you did in your first post. |
Re: Please How Efficient Is Audi A4, I Want To Buy A Direct Belgium by aaidel(m): 6:06pm On Apr 19, 2015 |
chucky234: bros but in my first comment i only asked why the A4 was being compared to a Camry and if it needed to be compared to a Toyota product then the corolla or IS would be more suitable comparisons and besides even at that the Camry offers better fuel economy more space and is also cheaper to maintain than both the IS and A4 so not like it doesn't have its own strong points |
Re: Please How Efficient Is Audi A4, I Want To Buy A Direct Belgium by chucky234(m): 6:19pm On Apr 19, 2015 |
aaidel:And you think a Camry with 2.0L engine is more fuel efficient than 1.8L A4 ? When I said don't put Camry and A4 in same sentence I wasn't referring to their market category but as an individual car, like I said the A4 is everything the Camry is not and pls don't mention Corolla and A4 in same sentence biko. The Corolla and A4 are both in same market category but putting both in same sentence is a big disrespect to VW, Lexus IS would be more considerate. |

aaidel:From the link you provided, read this: The new Lexus IS sports a sharper look and refined ride, but lacks the BMW's (or the Cadillac's) on-road poise and handling. 1 Like |
