2013's onward are pretty solid. Most of the big issues on the A4 have been fixed. I would look for a CPO with extended warranty and make sure the car was getting serviced every 16,000 km. Should have new tires and brakes at that mileage.

The premium package can kinda be a huge letdown though: check to make sure you're getting the little features you expect in a luxury sedan: dimming mirrors, folding rear seats, etc.... you'd be surprised what Audi takes out of the base level car.

Exactly. Remember, the "Premium Package" is Audi's base A4.

Thank You for your replies guys, So far it looks like i will be purchasing a 2013 A4 2.0T Premium Pkg not the PLUS because well the plus isnt really offering me too much in comparison to the price difference.

Honestly she is coming from a Mazda 3 GS 2005 so already having more engine power and AWD and a more refined interior is a step up . I'm glad there haven't been many reported issues with the car.

I was wondering has anyone been able to add a backup camera to the Audi A4 ?
