2002 Audi allroad quattro Review
Summary
What Edmunds.com says
Audi blends a plethora of cool features in a distinctive vehicle that can handle a wide range of transportation needs.
Pros
Elegant styling, sumptuous interior, height-adjustable suspension, extensive safety features, lively V6 engine.
Cons
Steep price tag, lack of a V8 engine, no transfer case for more adventurous off-roaders.
What's New for 2002
The height-adjustable allroad debuted last year to fill a slot left in Audi's lineup by the lack of an SUV. For 2002, a heated multifunctional steering wheel with Tiptronic is an option, as is an OnStar telematics system. Standard is an in-dash six-disc changer. Brushed aluminum-finish accents spruce up the interior.

2002 Audi allroad quattro AWD 4dr Wagon (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6M)
Review
No problem with the car, once you know how to get off the line no problem with the turbo lag. The only issue I have is these front brakes, have only 54,000 miles on it and I am on my second set and the warping happened again after 5000 miles of driving. Always use permium fuel 91 or higher and the mileage I get is about 25-30 miles, mostly urban driving.
Favorite Features
To many to list them all... endless fun.
Suggested Improvements
Cup holders, front brakes.

Review
A really fun car to drive and very convenient for all activities. I can put my bike or kayak on the roof rack, and even slide my bike in the back with the seat down. Great options, love the back-up beeper, heated seats, etc. My only issues are the less than stellar gas mileage, especially when using premium gas (pricey) and maintenance and repairs are VERY pricey once the 50K warranty and maintenance plans expire.
Favorite Features
Back-up sensors, Bose stereo, heated seats in front AND rear.
Suggested Improvements
Better fuel economy, lower repair and maintenance costs.

Review
Extra wide fenders over tires make manevering a challenge; fun to drive, but MANY issues with engine and transmission. Additionally, tire wear much higher than average and fuel well below rating. All in all not sure I would buy another Audi. Not sure there is a significant advantage to an all-road over an A6 AWD.
Favorite Features
Hydraulic height adjustment.
Suggested Improvements
Whatever causes the higher wear & tear on tires should be fixed.
On the rail and quick acceleration

Review
The great satisfaction after one year ride. This purchase was the compromise of a sporty sedan and a SW, and perfectly satisfied the both. Remember, this is a near 2 tons weight of SUV-like wagon, but you can still drive it like a sport car on hwy or pwy. It goes exactly on the rail in almost any situation even with heavy rain or few inches of snow. Overtaking acceleration is excellent. (Use premium gas, that makes a difference!) The interior is chic and elegant with no complaints (for extra cup holders, use the openable sidepocket or the one under the rear seat). The build quality is definitely better than the same generation A6. Overall, the long lasting state of the art.
Favorite Features
Overtaking acceleration, road holding, manual 6 spd, luxury equipments (enough for me since my priority is fun to drive), quite ride if you drive gently, inner quality and power rather than appearance. Turbo lag; I like it.
Suggested Improvements
Consumption; use 6/5 gear, Shift shock; use 1 to 3 or 4 (2 to 4 or 5) possible thanks to the amazing wide torque rage, Tire noise; dramatically reduced after changed to MICHELIN Energy Plus, Wrong alarm for tire pressure; I dont care, this is not a Japanese car after all (though I m one of them).

Review
This car is AMAZING!!! Great car to cart the kids around and have fun while doing it. The 2.7 twin turbo gives out plenty of performance while the car is still very practical. The car handles extremely well and handles everyday abuse. Will reach very high speeds on the highway with extreme confidence.
Favorite Features
TWIN TURBO!!!! Great sound-system, comfortable seats, heated seats, and great styling.
Suggested Improvements
The air shocks seem a bit unreliable. I have had many problems with them. They have done some weird things over time where the rear end lifts itself way up and the front end is almost touching the ground. I have called the dealership and they came and fixed it both times it happened.
