There is very little I do not like about this car. The turbo engine (w/ performance chip 200hp 235lbs/ft torque) is awesome. Handling is superb both wet and dry, in the snow (under 3- 4") I would take this car over anything else on the road. I went by SUV's in the ditch at 55mph on I-95. I also love the classic, elegant, styling of the car both inside and out, there is no need for the add on ground effects, wings etc. other manufacturers need to use to make there cars stand out.
I love it - When not in the shop!

This is great car if you have another car. It is great fun to drive, on the few ocassions that it is not broken. Seriously - this car has had one problem after another and spent a couple of months total (really) in the shop in the 22 months I had it. Repairs and parts cost a fortune and only a handful of mechanics know how to work on it. I have traded it in on a new car.

I wish I could go back to the day I bought this A4 and run. It has been nothing but trouble since day one. Problem 1) Ruined front suspension = $1600. Problem 2) Defective turbo valve = $450 Problem 3) Defective catelytic converter = $1100 Problem 4) Defective wheel bearings = $Leaving Them...... And so on and so forth. Basically, this car is an overpriced and less reliable Ford Pinto. I should have bought an Escort - this thing was the biggest mistake I've ever made. I will buy a BMW next time. Consider yourself warned.
Dump this car before warranty ends

Good car for highway driving, way too slow off the line for a 'driver's' car, lots of engine leaks and burned out headlights, poor tires for winter driving as they were incompatible with ABS. Ran ok for about 65,000 miles except for power and gas consumption issues. I thought I could keep it maintained and have a good car but repairs were averaging $600/month for last 10 months. Mainly electronics problems - Dealer did poor job of diagnosing problems - his solution was to keep adding new parts until warning lights went out. Dealer told me that I would soon need new boots for steering and transmission components and new brakes. - Ouch!! Car is sold!! No more Audi's ever.
I love it, but it frightens me...

I bought this '99 from Audi with 34k miles, now has 55k. All service needed has been under warranty: Both rear bearings, new radiator, brake rotors, replaced from bushing. For the first year it was in the shop once a quarter, it seemed. So far this year - no problems. I love to drive it, looks great, handles great. But once the warranty ends this year - what will happen? Will it turn on me or be "one of the good ones"? Dealer has been good, and so far I am OK with the experience - thanks to the warranty!
