A great car, when it works

First of all I would like to say that overall, I've had pretty good luck with this car considering all of the problems items I've read about in other reviews. It has great interior and exterior styling, rides nice, and coupled with good tires, the AWD is awesome for the New England winters. But If you are going to purchase an earlier year Audi, 3 conditions must be met. 1- make sure you are under some kind of warranty 2- If not, make sure you are handy with a wrench (many of the problem items can be fixed yourself). 3- if you can't fix it yourself, find a good mechanic as the dealer repair costs are horrible.

Never Again

I will never by another Audi. This vehicle has had several major mechanical issues, and the manufacturer has refused to cover them since it is out of warranty. A vehicle in this class with relatively low mileage should not have these issues (and our Infiniti doesn't). It is the most unreliable vehicle I've ever purchased. I know several other owners who had similar experiences.

disapointing A4

I love my car, but this machine has cost me plenty of headaches and thousands of dollars to keep it running. So far I've replaced several major parts in the engine that should have lasted the lifetime of the vehicle. I expected Audi to produce more reliable machines.. this one is not.

Fun to drive, expensive to repair

I loved the road handling and the way 80 mph felt like 35 mph. -Quattro will take off some low end grunt from a stand still. The styling is very slick and the interior very comfortable. However, I found the car to require frequent, expensive service.
