Used 2000 Audi A4 1.8T quattro 4dr Sedan AWD Consumer Reviews
Even with Ext. Warranty
My car is cute and fun to drive. I love it...It just doesn't love me. After 50K it is beginning to fall apart. Faulty airbag, faulty steering column, disintegrated fuel pump (which led to bent valves and an engine replacement), whiny turbo, faulty o2 sensor, faulty master air flow sensor... In the past year, the vehicle has had ~$8K in repairs. Luckily I had an extended, but I still sacrifice my time and $50 every time the check engine light comes on.
Fun to drive
The 2000 Audi A4, 1.8T Quattro is a well built, solid car with responsive handling and good acceleration with the manual, 5-speed transmission. The all wheel drive combined with the handling capabilities makes this a fun car to drive. Over four years, only one significant mechanical problem has been experienced. Japanese car owners should try an Audi to compare.

My audi
I got the car with 80000 miles and put an extra 40000 in the past two years and I can't imagine anyone having as many problems with a car than I had. Very expensive to repair the smallest stuff. The acceleration is horrible but I love the handling and brakes. I like how the lights light up a lot and love the heated seats. Everyone complains about the zero room in the back. Can't stand the buttons always jamming in the cold... cheap.
Don't buy this vehicle!!!!!
We bought our Audi 1.8T in 2000 and we were very excited about the car. As of today 5/19/2005 we have about 30,000 miles on the odometer. From the first year we owned the car we had issues with the Turbo and Quattro drive gaskets leaking air/fluid. Since the car was under warranty for 3 years, we had the gaskets replaced at the dealer for no charge. Now off warranty, the dealer told us we needed new gaskets again and it costs $800 to replace. Our driveway shows signs of oil drops. I've known other Audi owners having similar gasket problems with their newer AUDIs. BUYER BEWARE!
Fun but costly
This is my wife's first new car and I can say with certainty we will not be purchasing an Audi again. This car may be fun to drive but we seem to be constantly taking it in to the shop. In our case the troubles seem to be with the key fob, water pump, headlights, and brakes. The dealership was good while vehicle was under warranty but repairs post warranty are now terribly expensive no matter where we take it. Large acceleration lag when you put your foot down. Cruise control works only occasionally. We will go with something more reliable next time that is also cheaper to maintain.
