A great example of clear design, simple controls and refinement, the A4 cabin has a truly upmarket feel to it. 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.

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.
