Audi A4 Saloon (00-04) - Review Review by Parkers on 01 January 2000 When Audi set to work on the second generation of the A4, its priorities were to increase interior space and improve driver appeal. The firm succeeded on both counts, creating a real rival to the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. It has handsome looks, superb build quality, beautifully presented interiors and a wide choice of highly developed, powerful and efficient petrol and diesel engines. It's not quite as rewarding to drive as its big rival the BMW 3-Series but is just as comfortable and well built. 4 out of 5 Other Audi reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3.5 out of 5 Comfort Thankfully, space has been improved significantly over the previous model and longer journeys are much more pleasant as a result. The A4 is a confident motorway cruiser and can happily coast for hours on end with minimal noise and fuss. The seats are excellent with good support and rear passengers get decent room too. The firm suspension, especially on Sport models, get be a little crashy in town though.

Rear space is good, but taller passengers may find it a little cramped, especially for knee room. Get a Audi A4 Saloon valuation View full gallery How does the boot space compare?

The instrument dials are easy to read and features like the clever trip computer are straightforward to operate. The driving position is spot on and all round visibility is excellent too.
