Great car -- when you modify it
Yes, out of the box, this car is a little underpowered. But if you drop in a performance chip and cat-back exhaust the car is very different. I also upgraded the brakes and shocks after the OEM stuff wore out. I've had fewer problems than most with this car -- I'll admit I'm lucky. But I do a lot of preventative maintenance. If you want a car you drive and neglect, get a Toyota or Honda. If you want a car with character, states individuality and is fun to drive, the Audi is it. Only real problem thus far: radio died, but it was replaced under warranty. It took amost 3 months, but it gave me time to listen to the new cat-back exhaust I had just purchased.
Expensive electrical problems
We previously owned 2000 Audi A4 AWD 2 years ago. We have been astonished by the frequency and cost of expensive repairs. Our airbag controller and brake controller have failed, each costing $1000-$1500 to repair. We have developed an oil-leak costing $1000 to repair. The bumper scratches incredibly easily and ends up looking terrible. The interior trim is coming apart. Net-net, though a very pretty and comfortable car that is fun to drive, the cost of ownership is far beyod what one would expect. We will never buy another Audi!
Mistake
I will start by saying I love the design and performance. But....I have never had a car in the shop more. Yes, because of the good warrenty, it hasn't cost me anything other than time. I have replaced more headlights than I care to remember. The car has been towed once, had a brake rotar replaced, conciquental gagets not working properly, and other misc. problems. The shop I deal with has been a horror and Audi has not done anything to address my concerns. My lease ends in January and I can't wait to get out.
Extremely Fun well built sedan
Since the time of purchase my 2000 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro has been nothing but a wonder to me. It has only had one flaw, and that was the driver side/seat airbag was defective and was replaced. Otherwise its been a beauty.
Quattro is the way to go
I had a 2001 FWD A4, it was definatly a great car as well, but i did not realize what i was missing not having the AWD quattro system. I live in florida, and i figured snow is where u need quattro, but in a rainy place like florida quattro is reall amazing. Handling is great, power is great as well for a 4 cylinder engine. Fun to customize as well as drive.
