I chose the A4 over the BMW 3-series because you get so much more for your money. I've never regretted it. It handles great, has excellent pickup, and, with the Quattro AWD, I am safe and glued to the road. Fit and finish are tight, and there's a feeling of solidity. I think the 1.8T is one of the best small engines ever made. I've never had a disabling mechanical problem. There was a recall for replacement of faulty coils, but I never had the faulty coils. Reliability has been excellent.

I have enjoyed my A4 very much. Can't add much to what other have said. My experience with the coil recall was totally unlike another person has reported. Before I had the coil recall work done, I received multiple letters from Audi USA reminding me to bring in my A4 to have ALL the coils replaced FREE of charge; and if I had already paid to have them fixed, to send them copies of the invoices so they could reimburse me IN FULL.

I bought my 2001 Audi 2.8 almost 1 year ago. It has been a great car. I took it in today because the check engine light came on (becuase the gas cap wasn't screwed back on correctly) Ahhh! Oil changes are about $85 which is a lot, but it's good for 6k miles. Everyone thinks I'm crazy for paying that much for an oil change, but that's how it is. I love having a powerful car. Brakes work great! Almost too well. All my friends love driving my car, it's fun!
Outstanding Car!

I own three Audis: a 2001 A4 2.8Q, a 2000 A6 2.8Q Avant, and a 1997 Cabriolet. All three are wonderful cars, and serve different purposes. The 2001 A4 is great fun to drive, and at 30k miles, I've not had one mechanical problem. Also, the 2.8 engine does not have the coil issues present in some 1.8T engines. The design of the '01 is a classic: clean lines in the Bauhaus tradition. Note: At 75K miles, Audi's can have gasket leaks (my 2000 A6 Avant did), but that's not uncommon for any German performance car. Fit and finish are flawless, and my dealer (Nalley Audi / Atlanta) is first rate. I will own nothing but Audis!
1.8T Bad Engine Design

The car's great when it works, but after all the problems the world knows about with the ignition coils, it also has a bad oil filtration system and timing belt tensioner. Read the bulletin boards for huge repair bills and horror stories of oil pumps seizing and engine belts falling off. Mine went through two oil pumps and found out the valves needed replacing - all of which Audi refuses to pay for. Bad engine, bad company. They tried to make it right when it was small stuff like the coils, but now that it's big engine bills they're stone walling it. These turbo engines can *ONLY* run on synthetic oil. Yet the dealers have strict instructions otherwise on leased cars. Bad.
