Excellent Car!
This is a great car, and it cost much less than its competitors. It's built solidly, looks beautiful, has no problems (yet), and is a great handling machine with the quattro. The only downside was its original 150 hp engine, but a modest chip upgrade changed that. It now has around 195 hp which is more than sufficient for its 3200 lbs curb weight.
Best car ever
I’ve owned this car since the end of 1998. Best car I’ve ever owned. TLC when applied goes a long way.

First Time Audi Buyer
I liked the car because of the brand (big fan) and how it looks good and the ability of the Quattro system. Bought a 10 year old car for about $10K. I've owned it for 16 mos. I disliked it because I've spent over $5,500 in repairs. It didn't have problem at first month but afterward, timing belt $1.5K, bearings changed all of them @ $700, twice in LR wheel within 1 year, CV shafts $500, flex pipe $400, spark plugs+wire set twice bc engine stutters 200 etc. The worst is my car was put in all the money, there's more to fix ABS Module $400, engine oil leak and clutch $2.5K, brake pad worn signal, rear axle leak etc. and then some guy totaled my car on the hwy. ALL $$$ I put in, gone.
Bring your checkbook
When it's running well, it's a great car. Handles great, plenty of power, it feels both sporty and safe. It's also quiet and comfortable. But the car's had one electrical problem after another. It's had 4(!) gas guage sensors, and needs another, among an assortment of other problems that were either fixed under warranty, or are not being fixed because the cost of fixing them is prohibitive. Every trip for maintenance is a $1500-2000 excursion. I think I'll go for a Toyota next time.
Don't get burned!!!
I recently sold my 1999 A4 AWD 2.8 65K miles. I owned it for exactly 1 year. After 1 year, the transmission needed to be replaced. The estimate was $5000- $7000. I said fix it good enough to drive across town to the Nissan dealer. In addition, it was due for its 60K mile service >$650. The service person made an excellent point in saying, "If you can't afford the routine maintenence, then you can't afford the vehicle. I got caught up in being a pretentious fool. You shouldn't. Buy something else!
