The AUDI A4 (2001-05) 4DR SALOON 1.8T 190 SE 6SPD is a compact executive four-door saloon, positioned above mainstream family cars in the UK used-car market. It combines smart styling, a useful boot and a comfortable cabin, offering a practical alternative to a hatchback for drivers seeking a more grown-up feel. Its turbocharged petrol engine gives the SE lively performance, while the six-speed gearbox suits daily journeys. It suits couples, small families and drivers seeking comfort and responsive driving rather than minimum running costs.

Checks show average mileage of 116,000 and annual use of 5,000 miles, alongside roughly seven previous keepers; average private-sale valuation is £300.
