Consumer Reports gave the label “Never Buy” to 30 used cars. Today, we’re going to caution you about: the 2014 Audi A4 After 2011, the Audi A4 showed steady improvement in reliability ratings, especially in the engine and electrical system. Prior to these upgrades, A4 was a troubled car. Consumer Reports called out the 2009 and 2010 editions as used cars to avoid, but ’07 and ’08 are right there with them.
