Solid Car but Know it well
Purchased the car with 118,000 km,knew it needed a few things when I got it but was excited to get such a nice solid car.Have replaced everything on the entire vehicle within a year ($25,000)mostly replacing with performance parts but only when needed. The car always pulled strong in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, little weak in 4th and 5th with stock turbo, but throw in a k04 and a tune and it really gets interesting. Fuel economy will surprise you, rip hard on it and a tank (60l) will be gone in 300 km, but cruise on the highway and expect close to 850-900. Small electrical things pop up but online there are many helpful resources to troubleshoot. Its a maintenance intensive car but with care reliable
Unreliable
Great handling, but it breaks down and the dealers can't fix it or get parts. Or, they fix it incorrectly and it has to be towed back.

audi = german for lemon
Although this car is loads of fun, it spends more time at the shop than on the road. The first 25k miles went great, but since then: (1) faulty drive chain tensioner (could have bent valves and destroyed engine if i hadn't noticed it), (2) front main oil seal leak (at 26k miles absurd), (3)turn signal switch failed, and (4) oxygen sensor failed (car shut down on the road. If i had been on the interstate instead of secondary road i could have been rear ended by semi.) All covered by warranty, but you can bet I'll dump this car as soon as warranty ends. This car is like marrying a supermodel that hates sex. Looks great but doesn't perform.
Great Car
I love my Audi A4. I have had it alomst 1.5 years, with just over 30k miles, wiith not ONE issue at all.
Almost perfect - Highly Recommended
After driving a 1999 1.8T (I've been loyal to American car makers for too long) - I pulled it off the used market and decided to keep it after a month. I will never go back to US cars. With all the complaints on this forum regarding some experiences with reliability, it pales in comaprison. I traded the '99 in with 80k and the engine and tranny were in great shape. Now own a 2001 2.8 and am amazed at the improvement over the crisp performance of the 99 1.8T. It's styling is timeless and classic and IMO belongs with such classic designs as the 57 Chevy, 67 mustang, among others. This is a keeper. Buy Certified if used.
