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.

Review

I really like this car. Mix of sporty, utility, and family wagon. Mine is 6 speed manual (rare) with the factory jump seats in the back (even more rare) so seats 7 (5+2kids). It's the best SUV.

Favorite Features

Jump seats, and with the manual I regularly get 24MPG in mixed commuting (15%city/85% freeway).

Suggested Improvements

I just wish they'd bring back the Allroad.

Review

I knew that by purchasing a used Allroad I may have had problems with the air suspension. but didn't expect so soon. Within 3 months I spent 1000 dollars per side (yes ... they are pricey). Then because the car is so heavy, I am experiencing problems with the ball joints (other common problem). Tire wear is abnormal. Overall it is a great car to drive, very comfortable ... but I wouldn't buy another one. The Volvo XC is much better option and without those expensive air shocks.

Favorite Features

interior, cargo, features

Suggested Improvements

drop the cost of repairs, pick higher quality suppliers

Review

I bought this car with 110,000 miles on it in spring in northern NH, ahem: MUD. awesome in it however, when the winter months came the suspension BLEW completely gone, and it was horrible, I had been told that it was common problem and goes away with warm weather, so i had it checked out, an air suspension sensor had fried, and was replace for roughly $300, had the timing belt done, and now it RUNS LIKE A CHARM, i love this car, i will always drive an Audi, perhaps something a bit cheaper to fix, but i <3 Audi of America. At an annual Audi owners of America banquet which i worked at and found all too ironic, i told them I drove an allroad, and many were jealous, i get daily compliments.

Favorite Features

electronic extras, excellent bose sound system (blast dance music in it no rattle), MAGNIFICENT handling, heated seats, quiet, once it gets going it's gone, sport mode, tiptronic, auto windows, oh and that auto fill spare tire thing is really awesome, even the aaa guy was impressed.

Suggested Improvements

CUP HOLDERS, i can't fit my flippin huge slushies, hate to admit it make it a bit more jumpy to start, and a bit more fuel efficient, and Audi you have won yourself a car and driver's 10 best, make the paint on the buttons a little bit "less scratch offable" make gps standard.

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.
