I bought my A4 at 51k miles and have had it about a year and a half very fun car to drive love the AWD and the turbo is nice to have. So far I have taken the car to the shop 4 times and have had the camshaft ajuster, new coils, O2 sensors, fan clutch, oil leaks, mass air flow sensor, the tires seem to wear down fast, fuel filter, still waiting for audi to fix my timming belt that they do for free at 105k and should pay for damages if brakes before that. engine idiles loud and for a min or two (I always let the engine warm up a min before driving as all turbo engines should) and a turbo timer wouldn't hurt either. Luckly I had it covered by warranty which paid for most repairs.

So expensive to maintain

I inherited this car from my parents, otherwise I would never have chosen a luxury sort of car. In the two years I've had the car, I have put over $3000 in repairs. Every time a light comes on, my heart sinks because it will be $1000 to make it turn off. Today I learned that to replace the climate control panel will cost $850 plus labor. what! As soon as it is out of the shop this time I will sell it before another light turns on.

Buyer Beware

I've only owned the car for a few months and have had it die on me twice. All 2001 Audis have faulty engine coils, mine have broken twice already and supposedely have now all been replaced with new non-faulty coils. In the process a tow truck ripped off my front spoiler and I fought with them for over two moths for replacement compensation. My dealership was unsympathetic and useless. I bought the car based on reliability and customer service, I have found both to be completely lacking and unsatisfactory. Never buy an Audi without the original warranty remaining. Instead, go buy a Lexus or Acura, that's what I'll be doing next.

I leased my 2001 Audi A4 1.8T quattro Sedan new. It was great for the first year. Since then it has been in the shop with multiple problems at least every other month. I've been to four Audi service centers and each one does a worse job than the other. Audi customer service didn't seem to care either. I'm finally fed up with the car and contacted Audi of North America for details on turning it in early...they finally want to talk, but it's too late. We also have had two Volkswagen Jetta's with similar problems. I wouldn't recommend an VW/Audi product.

Great car, terrible company

I can think of very few things that I don't like about the actual car. It's fun to drive, the ecru/black interior looks great and is easy to keep clean, the trunk is huge for the car's size. However, I will never purchase another Audi again due to the HORRIBLE service provided by dealers and Audi of America. Everything is a hassle, from a simple oil change to getting a loaner car. The warranty does not limit the amount of alignments that can be performed during the warranty period, however Audi will now only allow 1 per year...what a sham. I've dealt with 2 different dealerships with the same (low) level of satisfaction.
