Few cars cater to every need as well as Audis. Audi’s consistent commitment to finding a perfect blend of luxury, performance, and style, while making their cars affordable relative to the competition, has resulted in a line of models fit for everyone from hip 20-somethings, to successful baby boomers, to devoted parents, to retired vacation seekers. There’s something for everyone at Audi. Here are just a few of the models available, to help you choose the right Audi for you: Audi A4 – the All-Around Daily Driver The A4 is the perfect daily driver for the person who needs a car luxurious enough to make a commute in, but fun enough to hit the beach or the slopes for the weekend in. The A4 has all the comforts that you would expect from a premier luxury automaker, yet is smaller and more fun than most luxury vehicles. With 220 horsepower and 238 lb-ft of torque, the A4 has ample power, and with an MSRP of US $33,800 it couldn’t be a bigger steal for its class ... read more

In the last decade or so, Audi has cemented itself as a premier player in the luxury vehicle market. While once considered a little brother to BMW and Mercedes-Benz, Audi has now, quite arguably, surpassed those two leaders in mid-level luxury. Along the way, Audi has strongly separated themselves from the entry-level luxury vehicles it may once have been associated with, such as Infinity and Lincoln. And Audi continues to improve, moving faster and stronger than BMW and Mercedes-Benz, its German brethren. In fact, Audi recently surpassed those two companies in worldwide sales, despite still selling a relatively small percentage stateside. It’s clear that the world is catching on to the fact that Audi is now top dog in the mid-level luxury race. With that said, here are three of Audi’s premier luxury sedans: Au ... read more

When it comes to making quality cars, Audi stands above most of the competition. Not only are Audi’s vehicles more luxurious, stylish, and higher performance than most other cars, but they are also far more reliable. However, they are still cars, and even the best cars have their fair share of issues. So it goes without saying that even Audis are prone to one or two problems. Be it a small issue or a larger engine problem, Audis need to be repaired from time to time. Often, however, the problems are predictable, because they commonly occur in that model. This can help drivers prepare for, or prevent any problems that they may face. Here are some common problems in Audi vehicles, as well as what you can do to avoid them, and what you should do to fix them: Oil consumption One of the main complaints with Audi is that the oil consumption can be very poor. This is specifically applicable to the smaller engine Audis, such as the A4 and S4 models. For whateve ... read more

There are few things in the automotive world that are as exciting as concept cars. Even though it is pretty rare for a production vehicle to hit the streets bearing a strong resemblance to its initial concept car, the concepts allow people to see the direction that an automaker is headed in. Everything from the design to the technology tells us something about the manufacturer’s future, while also being fascinating in and of itself. And few car companies do concepts better than Audi, which simultaneously pushes the envelope and follows through more than many of its competitors. Audi has had a long line of awesome concept cars in the past; here are three of the most interesting recent iterations: Sport Quattro Laserlight In January 2014, at the Consumer Electronics show, Audi introduced this fascinating and groundbreaking concept, which it promised was a sign of things to come for the company. The Laserlight is a high-performance hybrid, combining a powerful V ... read more

It’s a sedan! It’s an SUV! It’s a…station wagon? Station wagons, or sports wagons, as they’re sometimes known as, are five-door hatchbacks often styled after sedans, but with the cargo space of an SUV. Although wagons vary in aesthetics and purpose from brand to brand, ranging from the sleek and city-friendly Mercedes Benz E350 to the rugged and utilitarian Subaru Outback, their defining characteristics – an elongated body with a low center of gravity and open cargo space – remain constant. Historically, station wagons have been seen as quintessential ‘suburban mom’ cars, and have seen dips in popularity with the rise of the minivan in the 1980s and again as SUVs got big in North America. Station wagons made a bit of a comeback as consumers began avoiding gas-guzzling SUVs, but didn’t want to sacrifice cargo space; however, with the growing popularity and affordability of hybrid SUVs and crossovers, the stat ... read more
