First of all I would like to say that this car rocks. Its the best german car that anyone can get there hands on for under 30k. The performance is amazing and so is the comfort and the ride. And man is it fun to ride. The 5 speed is very fun and the car is surpriseling fast for the amount of horses it has. But than again, I can't complain since I bought the vehicle for 25.5K. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who is looking for an entry level sports luxury sedan.

For the first 2yrs it was great. Then 3 enigine coils went bad, gas sensor,temperature gague, the cam seal has a oil leak that the dealership fixed 3 times, the instrument panel went bad as well. I would not recomend this car to anyone. It is not reliable!

Traded my mom an IS300 for it in 9/04 w/ 24k. I just sold it w/ 97k on it. Steering feel & accuracy was great, superb handling & brakes, great road feel & heavy weight. I had a manual trans and sport pkg so it was a blast to drive. Felt expensive & used great materials/assembly. But always in the shop, I had 21 repairs in the 4.5 years I drove it & it needed another 3 repairs (2 of which I previously replaced). Every year the ignition coils needed to be replaced & the engine "sludged" up (repaired under warranty). Lots of road noise and wind rush. Lots of features and thoughtful touches throughout. Great MPG. Uber expensive to fix and maintain (and I'm not cheap either).

I just thought I would put my two cents in with the rest of the Audi owners having troubles. My engine blew out in the middle of Kansas 1 year after buying it used (32000 and Audi certified). The oil is a big problem. After that, I have no confidence in the car - it's been back for some minor stuff, but everytime it hiccups or idles funny I get shivers. Now that I'm at 70k and the car is worth 9k or 10k, the repairs are not worth it. I'm waiting on the new BMW 3 series Coupe. Its a shame. I love driving the car when it works and was looking to mod it, but no way will I put more money into a car I can't trust.

Certified does not mean new or even reliable. I have owned my car for 9 months and its been in the shop at least 5 times, once within 1000 miles to have the engine rebuit and all other problems should have been checked before delivery. Car rides great handles good and is great in the snow purchase price was good, service has been a nightmare. I'm going back to Saab.
