2011 Audi A4 (photos)

Audi's smallest sedan, the A4, fits into the premium car segment with quality cabin materials and excellent cabin electronic options. For the 2011 model year, Audi added an eight-speed automatic transmission and HD radio, but got rid of its 3.2-liter V-6 engine choice.

The A4's only engine choice is a direct-injection turbocharged 2-liter four-cylinder. It makes more than adequate power to move the little sedan.
