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.

I haven't had any problems with the car other than rear wheel bearings and front tie rod ends.

I think part of the problem is that i had built this car up in my head during the 4 month period i was waiting to receive delivery of it. the 1.8t, although peppy required a chip to satisfy me. my older vr6 put a much bigger grin on my face. other than that. the car has really loosed up quite a bit. which is very disappointing for a $32,000 car with all the tricks and german engineering.

A petite car with the power of a bulldozer. It's a car to drive when you want to pass another going uphill, downhill, and, any other way you need to drive safely and quickly; To feel it grip the road on icy, waterey, snowy roads you'll immediately be thankful for selecting a car with AWD- it's an awesome feel of safety, comfort and security.
