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.
Love Audis, but not this Audi
I bought my Audi used from a reliable used foreign car dealer. Love the power and handling, and it looks good. Two of my biggest problems that I have come across is the terrible fuel economy and the lack of heat. I'm getting about 18 mpg now, and that is mostly hwg. My heat blows cold air constantly. I recently spent $650 to get it fixed, just for the mechanic to tell me it still doesn't work. But all in all, I would buy another Audi, they're lots of fun.
So expensive to maintain
I inherited this car from my parents, otherwise I would never have chosen a luxury sort of car. In the two years I've had the car, I have put over $3000 in repairs. Every time a light comes on, my heart sinks because it will be $1000 to make it turn off. Today I learned that to replace the climate control panel will cost $850 plus labor. what! As soon as it is out of the shop this time I will sell it before another light turns on.
Not Worth It
I have a '67 Mustang that has less problems!!!. Nothing but electrical problems since I've had it. ABS unit needed to be replaced twice (without a warning light...that's comforting), control box for door locks had to be replaced (couldn't even get in the car!!), most recently, had to have all dashboard electronics replaced after radio froze (couldn't change stations or anything) and dash disply went dead. If you have to have one, lease, and not for longer than the warranty.
'01 have trans problems-still fun 2 drv
I have had the 99 and now the 01 - the 01 has a lot more problems than the 99, expecially a very rough and uncomfortable transmission - also fuel economy is very very bad for this car, average only 17 - maybe because it is so fun to drive and zip around everywhere. Despite these problems, i still do love to drive it, but it will probably be my last Audi.
