TCC’s Bottom Line | |||
The 2012 Audi A4 provides an engaging driving experience, impressive in-cabin technology, and surprisingly great fuel efficiency—making it a good everyday driver among premium sedans. | Despite the weight gain, the BMW M3's still one of the most stunning performance vehicles we've driven. | ||
