Audi » New A4

With significantly more space than the older A4s (including a 480 litre boot), the new Audi A4 has the superb quality you'd expect as well as competent road handling ability. Perhaps the best combination of speed and fuel efficiency is offered by the 3.0-litre V6 with Quattro, but also coming in for special mention is the 2.0 TDIe which outperforms BMW's very efficient 316d whilst still managing to deliver over 60mpg.
