The Audi A4 quattro is a bona fide sport sedan, and frankly, one heck of a fun car to drive. The all-wheel drive system helps it power around corners, it boasts classy German looks, one of the nicest interiors around, and even good fuel economy. The only knock is that reliability could be better, but we still think this is a solid value.
