Fun to drive, fast or slow. Great highway car for two, cramped for four. Superb handling, with minimal understeer at limit (with sport suspension). Excellent fuel mileage if you keep your foot out of the turbo (26-27 consistently, 30 on highway). Great interior design, plenty of room in front for large folks (I'm 6'3"), though small back seats. Make SURE you use synthetic oil, or change oil frequently. I've had this car since new, so these aren't first impressions.

I bought this car certified used which I would recommend. What a great peppy car! Fantastic handling on curvy mountain roads, as expected. Having turbo makes driving even more fun. Extremely reliable. Approaching 100K miles and it still drives like new. My only real complaint: for an all-weather, all-wheel-drive car it could be a little tougher. It's a bit dainty. A great commuter car that lets you cart groceries, kids and pets without the size of a normal wagon.

I bought my A4 at 51k miles and have had it about a year and a half very fun car to drive love the AWD and the turbo is nice to have. So far I have taken the car to the shop 4 times and have had the camshaft ajuster, new coils, O2 sensors, fan clutch, oil leaks, mass air flow sensor, the tires seem to wear down fast, fuel filter, still waiting for audi to fix my timming belt that they do for free at 105k and should pay for damages if brakes before that. engine idiles loud and for a min or two (I always let the engine warm up a min before driving as all turbo engines should) and a turbo timer wouldn't hurt either. Luckly I had it covered by warranty which paid for most repairs.

Nice car. European, handsome, drives nicely, especially the manual. Feels safe. Timing belt broken at merely 68k miles. It caused engine damage and I am out $6,000 now. And I drive my car very very nicely without hurting it. The manual says change the belt at 100k+ miles!! Talk about reliability.

I love my A4 to death, but I'd never recommend one. Simply too many small problems; the vac lines went (I replaced them myself), a bent hose "shredded itself," the ignition coils went out and were replaced by the dealership - but only one by one, even though they had a design flaw. In the mean time I had to have the car towed twice and drove it on three cylinders once - not fun. If you're into cars and don't mind repairing them yourself, go for it. I have mine completely tricked out with a stage 3 turbo upgrade (~280 hp/300 ft- lbs; 310+ hp with race gas, for which I also have an additional program), upgraded coilover suspension, A8 brakes, swaybar, etc.
