No other manufacturer does all wheel drive (AWD) quite like Audi. When fitted with a four cylinder engine, the 2008 Audi A4 Quattro sedan and Avant Quattro wagon rank among the most fuel efficient all wheel drive vehicles sold in America. The 2.0 liter AWD A4’s gas mileage ratings of 28 miles per gallon (MPG) set a high mark for luxury four wheel drive. And if you want a convertible top to go along with your all wheel drive and great gas mileage, the A4 Cabriolet Quattro just might be your ticket. Heck, it might be your only ticket …
US-spec 2008 Audi A4 s are fitted with either a 2.0 liter intercooled turbocharged four cylinder engine, producing 200 horsepower and 207 foot pounds of torque or a 3.2 literDOHC V-6 engine, producing 255 HP and 243 foot pounds of torque. Engines can be mated with six-speed manual or automatic transmissions (in Multitronic or Tiptronic form).
Audi has a made a substantial investment in diesel technology of late, and it should come as no surprise that the company is set to unleash a series of torque-laden diesels upon America in the very near future. The A4 is fitted with a range of TDI diesel engine variations abroad, in both four-cylinder and V-6 configurations. Gobs of torque, fuel efficiency, and a unique level of luxury are bound to spell success.

Note: the EPA tweaked their testing procedure, starting with the 2008 model year, with the end result being that the 2008 MPG estimates are now lower than previous years. As always, YMMV.
– by Daniel Gray
The info on the Audi just tells me that the car is still well made. I’ve owned 2 Audi(s) in the past and have enjoyed them both the only complaint was the stero system. Hope that ‘s been corrected. I’d like to see the pricing but knowing what the car can do on a MPG and it’s built factor leaves me comfortable in getting another.
It still amazes me what suckers Americans are for such MPG statistics. Go anywhere else in the world and you’ll regularly find non-hybrid vehicles doing 50 and 60 mpg.
Wake up!
John, what makes you think that’s why someone bought an audi? I have a 1996 AUDI A4 QUATTRO with the 12 valve 2.8 engine, it runs like brand new and has about 137k miles. There is a led that’s out on my tach, and one that goes in and out. The climate control display goes in and out as well, but neither of these things keep me from enjoying the car, nor or they a big deal. The car drives and runs, and even looks like an almost new car. I highly recommend this car. I have leather and it still looks brand new. You can’t even hardly tell the engine is running at idle before the K&N you couldn’t even hear it. The car will run 125 in 4th, but after shifting to 5th governor cuts me at 130, not bad for a car without even a turbo and less than 200 h.p.
I think with the tach unlocked and governor removed this car would hit the 160 it registers. I raced it in auto cross once, the first time I ever did auto cross, and was within 9 seconds of all cars there. And that includes cars on r-compound tires, lotus elise, vettes, etc. Your not likely to win a bunch of drag races, but this car is far from as slow as a lot of people make it out to be. On a long stretch you can outrun most cars.
