I've bought this car when it had somewhat high milage of 82K miles about year and a half ago. I've put about 40,000 miles on it by now and while I really like the way it looks and drives (especially on the snow) it is a nightmare in terms of reliability. Everything which could get broken did. I've invested about $5000 in it already and can easilu fit another $2K just to make it run normally. Oil leaks, water pump, power steering, tire rod ends, wheel bearings, and honestly this is just the beginning of the list...

Bought used 1.5yrs ago with lowish mileage. Been a good car with only one failure that warranty covered. Love the ergonomics, build quality, high quality materials throughout and advanced engine and drivetain design (AWD). Car is a great do everything vehicle, with reasonable performance (0-60 in 7.1 seconds)

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.

the 1998 Audi A4 is a great driver's car and has nice styling, but its not really a performance car compared to my BMW. The AWD system is awesome, the car handles well, rides smoothly, and has tons of cool features for the money. My mileage was a little less than I expected, 23 MPG highway / 19 MPG, city but not horrible. I have had issues that the (GM) dealer took care of when I purchased the car (oil leaks, control arms, and tie rods). Do not take your car to the dealer for repairs. Get a good mechanic that knows these cars.
