The 2010 AUDI A4 lineup gains a refreshed high-performance S4 sedan. Audi's top-selling car line features 4-door sedans and Avant wagons. The Cabriolet convertible is redesigned and is sold as part of Audi's A5 lineup. Both the sedan and wagon continue to offer Audi's quattro all-wheel drive, and the sedan is also available with front-wheel drive. Sedans and Avants come as the 2.0T and feature a turbocharged 211-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. The V6-powered 3.2 quattro has been discontinued. Front-drive 2.0T models have a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that behaves much like an automatic. 2.0T quattro models are available with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. S4 comes only with all-wheel drive and is powered by a supercharged 333-horsepower 3.0-liter V6. Transmission choices include a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch automated manual that behaves much like an automatic. S4 has 18-inch wheels and unique exterior and interior trim. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front-side airbags, rear-side airbags, and curtain-side airbags. Other available features include a navigation system; Audi Drive Select, which allows the driver to customize steering and suspension settings; blind-spot alert; keyless access/engine start; a wireless cell-phone link; and a rearview camera.
Consumer Guide Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Premium-Compact Cars are similar in size but more expensive than Compact Cars. Premium Compacts have more standard equipment and an upscale image when compared to Compact Cars.
Our Best Buys in the Premium-Compact Car class are the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Our Recommended pick is the Audi A4.
