Great car with an extended warranty

Bought car new almost 5 years ago. Love driving it but there's no excuse for having to replace the battery 3X, the instrument panel 2X, the alternator, turn signal stalk, tiptronic magnetic switch, computer, coolant temp sensor, fuel tank sending unit, coolent reservoir, cam tensioner seals, hazard flasher switch, radio, 2 speakers, and 2 CV boots in 48000 miles. I keep looking behind me to see if the extended warranty company has sent Tony Soprano after me!
not worth it

Bought this car 2 months before warranty run out. Since then, it has been a year and half and I've just totaled my repair bills. $6400! Water tank, timing belt, sun roof, gaskit, alarm, brakes, you name it. I wonder is it just this car or this model.

Fun to drive but terrible quality

Bought this brand new, and have had a succession of minor and major problems. While the driving experience is excellent, the build quality of the car is terrible--worse than a 1984 Ford Escort I used to own. It's bad enough that I never plan on buying another Audi. I'd advise you not to buy one to begin with.
not bad, not great

I also dreamed about an A4 for years before getting my 98 A4Q Tiptronic. The quattro is awesome in the snow. But the entire transmission was replaced at 22k mi (under warranty fortunately) and dealer could not explain why. Plus few other misc repairs. Now it's out of warranty, I think I'll get something more reliable. This is a great looking, fun car to drive with a lively engine. But it's not as reliable as my old Audi 90.
My first and last Audi

I bought my Audi new in 1998 after comparing it to the BMW. To me, the Audi "felt" like a more sturdy car. Needless to say, my Audi has been anything but sturdy. A design flaw keeps the front-end of my car flapping in the wind most of the time. My salesman has 'never seen or heard of' this problem. The service people 'see it all the time'. I pay to have it fixed - at least twice a year. Friends laugh when I get out of my car and pound my bumper back on with my hand. A new warning indicator lights up every other month. Audi's response? $$$Ca-ching... I paid my car off 6 months ago. Now my monthly payment goes to repairs.
