A Good Car, A Strong Car, A Good Choice

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.

Solid, sporty, and fun to tinker with

Bought this car brand new, and now have about 33k miles. No major problems; a few burnt out headlights, the ashtray is stuck, and coffee stickiness has made the cupholder stick sometimes. Replaced the stock goodyears at 27k with sticky Yokohamas and "chipped" the ECU with Neuspeed at 24k for 30 more horsepower. Other enhancements include a K&N air filter. Got a check engine light due to busted vacuum hose, and noisy cam tensioner, but all replaced under warranty. Car is noisier now, rattles, etc. but still solid. Plan to keep for a few more years.

I have been driving this car since November, 2000. I love the reliability of this A4. It's very sleek and impressive looking. I've gotten constant compliments on the look and the smooth ride.

Keeps breaking every two months

This is my first car. When I bought it I was amazed with this it, very fast, fun to drive and very reliable. I bought it with 45k miles on it. Everything was great until the computer started giving me those annoying messages "SERVICE REQUIRED". Well, I decided to take the car to the dealership every time I got it and so far, I have paid in service and repairs around $2500 in two years! The lower lights have burned three times now, the left suspension arm broke, the battery died, the flow meter died, the sparks needed to be changed, the center console leds are broken, the horn broke and now, I have a water leak in the passenger footwell (this is caused by an aircon broken tube).

I am a guy who keeps his cars for over 10 years if possible, I was concerned that the Audi would not hold up. It is a bit early to say, but it is going well so far. I will have to replace the tires as there is a slow leak and I had to change the CD player (at no cost) but otherwise all is well. The car seems to be somewhat noiser that it use to be. I hope it holds up for a another 8 years !!! Eric
