Used 2000 Audi A4 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Wonder when the other shoe will drop
I have had my Audi 2000 A4 1.8T AWD for five years now and find that anything I have to pay for is expensive. I have a good dealership, but the labor cost is amazing. What wears out most for me are the brake pads, every 11,000 miles, and the engine light has gone on at least once a year for vacumn hoses on the engine. I am very good about oil changes every 5,000 miles and take it in for any maintenance due. It is a wonderful driving car, and when I go on the turnpike I get great mileage, going much too fast. I am torn between loving my car and hating it whenever I go to the dealership for repairs. I would not buy a used Audi.
Audi A4 is THE Car!!!
I love my Audi A4. I bought it because it is very fun to drive is solidly built. There are many performance upgrades available. Such as, 500 for a chip that adds 45hp and 85pound/ft torque. It has sound accelaration, cornering, braking ability. A manual tranny is the way to go. It's been very reliable and I have 73k so far. I use synthetic oil to keep the turbo happy and it keeps me happy when I ask for power.

Audi Certified is the BEST!
I read a lot of reviews and all I hear is complaints. It's a used car! You're going to have to change brakes and sensors. You can't complain. Audi Certified is awesome! The best in the biz. My oxygen sensor went which is typical, but the computer ecu didn't catch the code, so ihad problems. They replaced everything even if not broken, all sensors, ecu, air pump, battery, oil change. They paid for it all! They didn't even charge a deductible because I had to bring it in twice! NO warranty would havepayed for sensors, oil change and battery. They wanted me to be satisfied and I am. Remember it's a used car. 60k miles it's going to need maint.
Good so far!
I am a member of SCCA & I know from watching the Audi in action that its a stronger car than BMW or Mercedes on the track in endurance & performance. My Audi has so far been perfect. It does idle rough sometimes, electronic gauge panel went bad, & sometimes draws back after hitting the gas.
Performance, style, comfort and value
The 1.8T is very responsive and eager to be worked hard. Although the 1.8T doesn't have stellar 0-60 times, full torque is available anywhere between 1800 and 5500 rpms. This makes the car far more powerful in real world situations than the 0-60 times suggest because the engine is virtually always producing full torque. Handling is very nimble and it holds the road with tenacious grip. Yet the ride comfort is as good as comfort-oriented cars that don't handle nearly as well as the A4. The quattro is truly amazing and I pass 4x4 SUV's with ease on snowy roads. The A4 is a true driver-oriented sport sedan at a bargain price.
Like Mike
I agree with Mike S. While I love the performance of the car, I've had to take the car into the shop for miscellaneous problems every 6-8 weeks for the last 18 months. It's never anything terribly serious but it's always something. Dash electronics, water pump, thermostat, speaker, more dash electronics, another thermostat, and EVERYTHING RATTLES. Not quite enough trouble to qualify for a lemon but too much for a two year old car with low miles. I've complained to the dealership and they pay lip service to helping me - but nothing ever changes. I really do love the car, but who has time to have their car in the shop that often? I'm disappointed.

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.
