Audi A4 is great

Audi a4 is great and all feature of this car good. i like red color is super. instead of top end Audi a4 model you can get all the feature. this is one of the best car and performance this car good

Luxurious sportiness

Not buying but driving the amazing car feels like luxurious sportiness. I achieved 250 km/h in a few minutes with amazing performances with a luxurious interior, looks quite good but not so sporty. Maintenance is a little bit higher in this segment and maintaining the car is properly heavy The negative thing is absolutely ground clearance on Indian roads diesel engine noise is coming into the cabin of the car.
