2.8 A4 Quatro is a blast to drive. Plenty of power, and great handling. I purchased for $3500, upgraded tires to 17", added modern Audi alloy wheels and upgraded pads and rotors to higher quality and faster cooling- all for just under $1200. The only issues I've had is replaced universal joint, and leak from power steering pump - power steering fluid for this car is eighteen bucks a quart. The oil light comes on all the time however, this is due to the interior sensor clogging and not reading oil flow correctly, annoying but not a problem the radio can't alleviate - hey, it happens, after all the car is twenty years old. The paint is still immaculate and deep black, people simply cant believe this car is 20 years old! The cabin is a little noisy; I intend to replace the carpeting and in the process upgrade the floor insulation to mitigate road noise - the creeks and squeaks I'll tame one at a time. GREAT CAR!

Fun to drive. Not fun to service. Belt tensioner went south at 60K, ($700 repair) ECM at 70K ($600 repair) plus electrical and AC problems. Recommended service always on time at a independent Audi shop. Parts should not be failing at this rate. Audi service manager said that these vehicles exhibit problems, and listed about 10. Suggested I buy a 2005 A4. My company cars (Ford, Chevys) are more reliable though not as fun to drive. OK, we're selling this A4 and buying a new 06 Civic. Fun to drive, tight body, go kart handling etc. Not worth the $$$ to replace poorly designed components. You can get the same performance looks etc., in other cars.

I've owned this car for nearly 2 years, and it has been a dream. The interior is plush and relaxing, but no adult human can fit in the back seats. Ample trunk space. The Bose sound system isn't too bad.

I have been more than impressed with my A4's outstanding interior, smooth good looks, exceptional build quality and ride. It has generous trunk space and front seats are very comfortable, altho rear passengers lack legroom. It's also quite affordable! The 1.8 turbo with 5 speed stick delivers smooth power (no noticeable lag) and enough horses to run with V6s. I've been disappointed with reliability, needing to replace headlight bulbs repeatedly, and the rack & pinion steering system. While the ride is nice, I'd prefer it stiffer for enthusiastic driving, but replacing the tires with some Kumhos vastly improved it.
Lease a new Audi not a new one

I was very excited to get this car at first. For the first year and a half I loved it then things went horribly wrong. Even though the car was "Audi Assured" the oil pump went out because it was not maintained properly before I got it. Thus causing the oil pump, turbo (twice), cam, and head to fail totalling $7K in repairs. Plus the dealer I took it to, Jordan Motors in Des Moines Iowa took over a month to fix it. Then I got in to a small collision and it was over $6K just to fix it. Don't buy this car or any car from them unless you can get it fixed for free. Even then don't buy anything from them.
