2006 audi a4 review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Newly redesigned high-quality sedans and wagons. introductionofficially launched as a 2005. 5 model, the audi a4 line is all new from the ground up, and the 2006 lineup features new engines and new equipment packages. The a4 is a near-luxury, premium-grade car similar in size to the bmw 3 series and mercedes c-class, smaller than midsize sedans like the infiniti g35, larger than compacts like the honda civic. the all-new audi a4 is fun to drive and comes with all the sporty bits and pieces. It feels like it's on rails going around corners. High-quality construction is evident inside and out. Quattro all-wheel drive and the latest in active safety features helps keep the driver on the road no matter the conditions or situation. the 2006 a4 comes in a range of models. Enthusiasts who just can't get enough power and want race track handling may prefer the s4, which features a powerful v8 engine and high-performance underpinnings. the a4 has state of the art powertrains, with intercooled turbochargers, multi-stage intake manifolds, variable valve timing and the latest technological advance: direct injection, the cleanest and most efficient means yet devised of blending fuel and air in an engine's cylinders. Audi's progress hasn't stopped with the engines. Each of three transmission choices is a good one. The standard gearbox is a six-speed manual, while options include a six-speed automatic transmission with tiptronic and a continuously variable transmission, which uses a steel belt and a pair of infinitely adjustable pulleys replace gears and hydraulic pumps to deliver a truly seamless shifting experience. Besides the electronic stability program, there are antilock brakes with brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution. Airbags abound, with the only extra-cost set a pair protecting rear-seat occupants against side impacts. lineupthe 2006 audi a4 comes in sedan and avant (wagon) body styles. Two engines are available for the a4. The 3. 2 models have a 255-hp 3. 2-liter v6. The s4 features a 340-hp 4. 2-liter v8.

All three models come with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed tiptron. walkaroundthe audi a4 is essentially all-new for 2006, though officially it was launched as a 2005. 5 model. On one point, there's agreement: it's different. Whether this is a plus is subjective, but expect the look to appear in clearly recognizable and evolving form on all audis as each model comes up for a redesign. We've already seen this on the new a6 and a8. Laterally split intakes below the body-colored bumper and outboard of the grille do dual duty, housing fog lamps and channeling air toward the front disc brakes. A modest hood bulge, a styling cue designers call a power bulge by way of hinting at the latent energy lurking beneath, carries the grille's vertical outlines back to the roof's a-pillars. the side view shows a sharply creased shoulder line running the length of the car, from the trailing corner of the headlamp housings to the leading edge of the tail lamp lenses. Side window glass atop a relatively high beltline is nicely proportioned with the body mass. A bump strip breaks up the expanse of the lower door panels. The front and rear lower-quarter panels dip slightly fore and aft of the round wheel housings, pulling the body closer to the ground. good-sized tail lamps tie together the three elements of the new a4's rear fascia, positioned for the most part in the panels framing the trunk lid and license plate surround, but overlapping those two pieces to break up what might otherwise be an overwhelming expanse of metal. It's a nice, high-quality cabin, as we've come to expect from audi. Colors and finishes are muted. A choice of wood trim is available that nicely complements the interior. We found them comfortable and supportive. The standard cloth upholstery feels durable and provides a bit of grip. The seats, mirrors, steering column and other features adjust in every conceivable direction, helping drivers find a comfortable seating position. interior space in the new a4 matches that of the previous-generation model. It's generally adequate in front but somewhat limited in rear leg room. This is not a car for the full-figured or for people much taller than six feet. all controls are focused on the driver and with few exceptions are ergonomicall.
