A4 Cabriolet
The Cabrio has a clear dash and only the mass of climate control switches is rather distracting. The driver’s seat is supportive and has a fine range of adjustment, while two-way steering-wheel movement makes it easy to get comfortable. The hood can be raised or lowered on the move below 19mph.

Running Costs
You could never call the A4 Cabrio cheap, but it's competitive with its other German rivals, and resale values for a much in-demand car are superb. Running costs aren't too bad, either. Most of the engines offer competitive fuel economy figures and insurance groupings.
A4
There’s a wide range of adjustment for the seat and steering wheel, but the pedals are significantly offset to the right on UK A4s. The busy dash layout can be confusing, too, but the controls are logically arranged and Audi's MMI central control system is fairly intuitive to use. Visibility is fine, thanks to a large glass area.
Running Costs
Audi generally undercuts its rivals from BMW and Mercedes on list price and that's true of the A4 Avant. Discounts might be limited, but resale values should be high, and fuel economy and company car tax rates are good on most models. The V6 four-wheel-drive versions will hit your wallet harder, though.
A4 Saloon
A wide range of adjustment for the seat and steering wheel means that the A4 caters for drivers of all shapes and sizes, however the pedals are heavily off-set to the right so it can be difficult to get comfortable. Forward visibility is fine, but the rear view is compromised. Controls are logically arranged and Audi's MMI control system is fairly intuitive to use, but the A4's dash layout is busy and can be confusing at times.
Running Costs
Audi generally undercuts its rivals from BMW and Mercedes on list price and that's true of the A4. Discounts might be limited, but resale values should be high. The 2.0 TDI falls into the lowest company car tax band and returns over 50mpg, so running costs are sensible. The V6 four-wheel-drive versions will hit your wallet harder, though.
