1996 Audi A4
Perhaps the most appealing Audi ever..
Audi's TV ads portray the slick new A4 sedan as some sort of road rocket.
We'd say that's a bit of a stretch.
When it comes to pinning occupants against the seatbacks, it's not quite in the hunt
with a car like the new BMW 328i, its prime competitor.
Nevertheless, this is a compelling little sport sedan, strong in the other virtues
that still set German cars apart from the rest of the herd--decisive handling, superb
high-speed stability and terrific brakes.
And in the case of our test car, there's the Audi Quattro extra of all-wheel drive,
with an electronic locking center differential.
Although Subaru also sells all-wheel drive cars, Audis are the only sedans in the
luxury end of the spectrum to offer this feature, and it's a big plus. Yes, 2-wheel
drive traction control systems are closing the gap in this area, but when the going
gets slick we'd still rather have all four wheels making the most of whatever grip
there may be.

Car Buying Tips
What you should know before buying a used car
- Get a CarFax report for used cars you are interested in buying. Checking
these reports will reduce the risk of buying a lemon or being the victim of
fraud.
- Only accept cash or certified checks when selling your car. Taking personal
checks for the sale of a car is a bad idea that can lead to unnecessary
problems.
- Establish the price of your used car. Use guides such as KBB.com or NADA to
set a reasonable used car price.
- Have the used car inspected by your mechanic. If you're interested in buying
a car, it's a good idea to have a mechanic you trust check the car to make sure
it is in the condition advertised.
- Shop around. The used car market is enormous, with a plethora of used car
dealers, certified pre-owned inventory, for-sale-by-owner listings, and more.
Compare a number of vehicles to make sure you're buying the right car and
getting the best deal.
