2011 Audi A4 Review User Manual Owners Pdf -
If you’re looking for one of the sportiest 2011 midsize cars, check out the 2011 BMW 3-Series. Many critics regarded the 3-Series as the benchmark for sport sedans, thanks to its great handling and refined engines.
Reviewers said the 2011 Cadillac CTS offers a great blend of athletic handling and a smooth, refined ride, as well as an upscale interior. Like the A4, the CTS performed well in crash tests, but it also has a stronger reliability score, which should appeal to buyers who want a car that’s easier to maintain.

The A4 comes with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 211 horsepower. While a number of 2011 midsize cars are more powerful, most critics said the A4 has sufficient power. A more powerful variant, called the Audi S4, is reviewed separately. The A4 is available with either front- or all-wheel drive, and a manual transmission is available with the latter. Front-wheel drive models net 22/30 mpg city/highway. Aside from its hybrid competitors, the A4 gets great fuel economy for the class. Maximum trunk space is 12 cubic feet, which is below the class average, but comparable to rivals like the 2011 BMW 3-Series and 2011 Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
When it was new, critics said the 2011 A4 was one of the better-handling sports sedans available, especially when equipped with Audi’s Quattro all-wheel drive. They noted that while the A4 isn’t the nimblest sedan in the segment, for many buyers, it strikes the right balance between handling and ride comfort. The A4 has excellent safety scores, though it is plagued by a low-for-the-class reliability score. If you prefer a wagon, the 2011 Audi A4 Avant Wagon is reviewed separately.

Critics regarded the A4’s interior as opulent and high-quality, with comfortable standard leather seats. However, it’s worth noting that some testers thought the rear seats were cramped. All models are equipped with a standard power sunroof, satellite radio and an auxiliary input jack. Opting for the Premium Plus trim adds features like Bluetooth, three-zone climate control and heated front seats. Navigation with Audi’s Multi Media Interface infotainment system, a backup camera and parking sensors are available on the Premium Plus trim. All of these items come standard on the top-of-the-line Prestige model.
Interior Features
Most critics point out the exceptional build quality of the A4's interior, as well as the abundance of soft-touch surfaces. A few have quarrels with Audi's MMI infotainment interface, but overall it elicits fewer complaints than BMW's iDrive system. Reviewers say electronics like the Bang & Olufsen stereo and Bluetooth interface are very well-executed. These two features are not standard on the A4. Bluetooth interface is available on the Audi A4 with the Premium trim, but the Band & Olufsen stereo is optional with the Premium Plus trim and standard with the Prestige trim.
Cargo
Shoppers who prioritize storage should look elsewhere. The A4 sedan offers a meager 12 cubic feet of trunk space. For more room, consider the 2011 Audi A4 Avant, which offers 17.3 cubic feet and 51 cubic feet with the seats folded down. The Avant, however, costs about $4,000 more and isn’t a sedan. If you still want a sedan, the Lincoln MKZ has more trunk space. At nearly 16 cubic feet, the Lincoln MKZ has one of the largest cargo areas. However, if you choose the MKZ for increased space, you’ll have to compromise speed because Lincoln designed it as a comfort-tuned city car, not a performance vehicle.
