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!

Made a good decision to purchase this used 2.8Q instead of the 1.8Q. The performance is smoother and more powerful. It is a fun car to drive with it makes my heart flutter. My wife and I drove to niagara falls from Mass. this past february and came back during a blizzard. I saw 18 vehicles that slid off the highway or were flipped over (5 cars). This car provided me with a lot of road gripping reassurance. I was sold on the quattro system. I've had it for 6 months and the fuel guage just failed. I think it will cost about $500 to fix. I've been very happy with this vehicle.
Rev it up!

Fun to drive. Handles great with AWD and goes right up snowy hills in Worcester. Overall solid feel to the car. Doesn't look like a 15 year old car at all and I don't do anything special to take care of it. Expensive repairs come with the deal - expect them. Wheel bearings (make sure your wheels are balanced and car aligned), flex pipes, dirt in ABS sensor lights the dash. Dash is currently lit up like a Christmas tree. I'll miss it but I'm scrapping it with too many repairs needed for an '06 Ford Escape Hybrid AWD (I MUST have AWD)
Fun car! Unreliable.

At 23,000 miles, 20 days after the warranty expired, the water pump seized up and destroyed the engine. Audi rebuilt the engine and covered the cost. Whew! Audi service is wonderful (at least at Barrier Motors in Bellevue, WA) Since then the car is more reliable but continues to have small problems beyond the usual Audi issues. That said, I love the look and feel of the car and will buy another Audi -- probably the all road or the A6 Avant. The Audi visual appeal exceeds that of BMW.

I love how this car drives. And the body style still holds up even though it is six years old. The handling, power and quality of the interior design are all pluses. But the lack of mechanical reliability is a huge negative. I've spent over $6,000 in repairs since purchasing this car just over 3 years ago. Repairs include - new oxygen sensors, water pump/timeing belt, ABS control module, brake rotors, etc. I've had it - and will be selling this car soon.
