Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Elegant interior, powerful twin-turbo V6, flexibility of adjustable-height suspension, competent off-road performance.

Cons

High base price, turbo lag, suspension can be harsh over bumps, lousy fuel economy in city driving.

What’s new

Audi's rugged allroad quattro receives no changes, but the options list has been simplified. Rather than offering various "convenience," "preferred" and "warm weather" packages, a lengthy list of desirable features, including leather, xenons, sunroof and auto-dimming mirrors have been bundled into a handful of premium packages. A cold weather package includes front and rear seat heaters with a ski sack. The Parktronic parking assist system is now a stand-alone extra, and the rear-facing third-row seat has been deleted from the options list. Finally, for those who find the allroad's twin turbo V6 wanting, Audi is expected to introduce its 4.2-liter V8 sometime in the 2003 calendar year.

Edmunds says

For luxury car buyers who seek added utility but don't want to take on the added bulk of a full-blown SUV, Audi's allroad is worth a test drive.

99 Problems but a Hörch aint one

2003 Audi allroad quattro AWD 4dr Wagon (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 5A)

I killed my Audi today. After almost four years of Allroad ownership I should be qualified to write a thoughtful and informative review of my experience. Alas, Ive spent more time in and out of cheap rented harlots; Nissan Sentras, Chrysler PTs, Toyota Camrys, KIA Optimas and Chevy Cobalts, while my Audi slept in greasy mechanics shops with her claws on my credit card. If you like …

Be Careful of Automatic Transmission

connveteran, 10/15/2013

2003 Audi allroad quattro AWD 4dr Wagon (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 5A)

The ZF Automatic Transmission is known to have MAJOR problems in this car. Audi apparently was aware that the 2001-2004 Allroads had bad transmissions but never did a recall The first thing to go is Reverse Gear. It slips when going uphill backwards. Reverse might be okay on level ground but not on inclines/hills. It's a very costly $4,000+ repair and you can't replace it with a used …

It was the best of cars..it was the worst of cars

2003 Audi allroad quattro AWD 4dr Wagon (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 5A)

Purchased 2003 Allroad in September '05; parted ways in November '11. I chose the car for practicality and a need to be able to get around in winter..no matter what. It was perfect for that and was super comfortable on long trips. The downside: it went through tires and brakes like crazy. I am embarassed to admit how much I spent in repairs: the front suspension bladers, turbos, heater …

I love it, warts and all

Sportsman, 12/07/2009

2003 Audi allroad quattro AWD 4dr Wagon (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

This car is now 7 years old, approaching 100K miles, and still looks and drives like new! I like this car so much I'm willing to tolerate its high maintenance; I recently needed a new clutch and brakes; tires last for one year; the 105K maintenance is due soon ($$$). I have owned a BMW X5 and a Subaru Outback with similar functional images, but there's really no comparison to this Audi. …
