My A4Q experience

Overall it has been a very pleasant experience, except for dealing with the dealerships. Very difficult to tell if you will receive good or poor experience and it varies between dealerships as well. The car itself has been fine in the snow, and the gas mileage isn't bad for a 4wd car. Great looks and comfortable interior. Wish it had more power though...

This is the car I have been waitng for this car for 3 years and it is definitely worth the wait. I got rid of my 1997 850 Volvo and picked up a certified pre-owned 1998 with 25k miles on it. I could not be happier right now. I love my car!! Hopefully I will be saying this in 3 years from now.

This is an amazing car with handling, power, and all wheel drive packed in an inconscpicuous wagon. My friend just purchased a 2003 Mercedes C240 and it has been back to the shop 4 times in the first 10,000 miles. My A4 2.8 has had minor expected repairs but it has over 90,000. I recommend replacing the timing belt before 50,000 miles, I've only heard nightmares. I also think the water pumps came from Detroit not Germany. Although I will always own an Audi.

I've had this car for only a year and a half and have had numerous problems and annoyances: a continous squeeky driver seat, numerous "check engine" lights and to top it all off the engine seized. Luckily, the Audi Assured warranty covered the engine, but Audi refused to provide me a loaner car for the three weeks it sat at the dealership. To me, that is inexcusable.

Difficult to beat for the price. I felt that way four years ago when I purchased it, and I feel that way now.
