Used 1999 Audi A4 Sedan Consumer Reviews
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.
Worst Purchase Ever! BEWARE!
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.

Sticks to road, but roBs your wallet
I bought the car used with about 90K miles. Worked fine until 110K. I have since spent over $3000. I've never spent so much on a car and I always buy cars around 100K. However, I've stuck to Japanese cars before. I've learned my lesson. I'm looking to trade it in for a Subaru. What every one else's review says is true. Fun to drive, expensive to maintain.
Good basic transportation
For the northland the A4T quattro is an excellent choice. However, I have experienced the electronic glitches that my dealership says are unique to this model year. I gave up my BMW E30 with 300k for the quattro and will likely go back in the near future for the fun and driving experience. All in all good transportation, but I would for sure seek out the sport pkg if another A4 hits my radar.
My A4 is great
A very fun car to drive in the city and on the highway. Fun in the mountains as well. Great performance, enjoyed the tiptronic. The suspension performs very well. Enjoyed the 1.8T engine, good power.
