Very Nice Car!
I recently bought a 99 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro and I seriously am happy with this buy. It's the fastest, most comfortable car I have ever been in. It's very reliable so far and I hope it stays that way for awhile. The features in it are outstanding for a 99 car and I just love it. I do not regret buying it one bit. The best part is that it's my first car and I completely own it!

Awesome car!
Audis are very popular in Seattle area but get no respect in LA area. So bought 99 1/2 with 40k miles and "2 yr Audi Assured" from dealer after hearing reliability probs. This is awesome car... More I drive more I like. I didn't care for BMW 3 series styling and came across too many rude people with attitude drying beamers. C class is not sporty enough for me so Audi with its good looks was the car for me.

LOVE MY CAR
This is the best car that I have ever had. The only complaint that I have is the fuel ecomony.....
Run, Don't Walk
RUN, don't walk away from this car. 154,000 miles over 10 years have not been easy. Started needing heavy repairs right after the extended warranty ran out, at 60K. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong, to the tune of $15,000 in repairs over the life of the car. Even the seats wore out. Audi software does not work on the computers many foreign car repair places have. Many places can't even do oil changes. All repairs are expensive and then something else crops up. Audi's are NOT for anyone who needs a reliable car and doesn't know much about how they run.
Take care of it & it'll take care of you
Bought my 1999 A4 2.8 manual shift used with 28,000 miles on it and have loved it every step of the way to its current 110,000 miles and counting. Ride has remained firm and car is solid and tight. I highly recomend the larger engine to the smaller engine with turbo, otherwise you're just going to be too underpowered and frustrated. It is important to remember though, that this is a german car not japanese and does require a certain degree of regular maintenance, which I've found to be $800 a year on average, all in, to keep things in top condition. I'd definitely buy another Audi!
