Great Sports Sedan
I was basically down to the A4, IS300, or G35. Would've chosen a 3 Series, but didn't look like too good of a value in comparison. Been driving an IS300 regularly and it's awesome, but didn't want two IS300s. Finally chose the A4 because of quattro, looks, and warranty. So far the car has been great. Handling is good, but not quite as sharp as the 3 Series. Ride is excellent, turbo has surprisingly good torque, engine music readily heard. Tiptronic works great. Road and wind noise is low, and interior shouts quality. Lots of pleasant surprises (lights everywhere, little compartments). Car looks great, especially with 17-inch alloys. Lots fun to drive.
Totally Unsatisfied
When I purchased this car for 39,000.00 I thought I was buying a reliable car. I quickly learned that this car is anything but reliable. Thus far the blinkers went out, the windshield wiper blades broke, the sterio died, the coolent hoses were leaking the starting coils went out and the entire dash board system failed so the car read 140 mph all the time. Now my check engine light came on last night and the car was in for service 1000 miles ago. I am now looking to trade my car in on a much more reliable car like a Honda Accord.

Tales of the Audi
Has been a reliable vehicle. Some niggling deficiencies with the interior build quality; few things are a bit too "soft" to the touch and can break easily. Otherwise an excellent vehicle that I will always find pleasure in looking at.
EXCELLENT GERMAN CAR
THIS CAR IS AMAZING, GOOD PERFORMANCE, CONFORTABLE, GOOD QUALITY, AND GOOD SERVICE.
Disappointed....
Had to bring it back to the dealer many times... Sunroof motor, A/C relay, Master cylinder, power window motor, valve tap at start up...
Unbelievable handling
The handling in this car is unlike any other car I've driven. The BMW 3-Series 4 wheel drive doesn't compare. The car rides a little bit rough at lower speeds and its pick-up is good but not great, but where this car really excels is on the open road. Extremely tight handling at higher speeds, this car is extremely fun to drive. One major drawback for me has been that the Check Engine light will not go off despite repeated trips to the dealership.
GREAT Automobile!!!
Having traded up from a 1993 Saturn, I am in heaven. This is my first Audi and I have had a great experience all around. The salespeople were great, the car is beyond compare, and the value for the money is unbeatable.
Cannot go wrong with A4
Practical, comfortable and safe sports sedan. This is my second Audi, and I am definitely "hooked" on the brand. Strongly recommend for consideration if you are looking for entry level luxury sedan.
2 Sweeeeet!
I recently purchased an A4 loaded, including the sport package. I have to travel often through the northern AZ mountains, and I cant seem to do it anymore without a big ole s*** eating grin on my face. This car is pure quality. The 1.8 T gives plenty of performance, especially when the transmission is in sport mode. Also the tiptronic option of driving it manually is way cool. I love this car.
fun + functionality = Best Sport Wagon
Loved my A4 2.8 sedan - but strollers & golf clubs just didn't go well together in the trunk. Found my car thru the great audit certified site and had it shipped. Audi certified program is one of the best out there. Love the service & all problems to date corrected without jumping thru hoops. As for the car - a blast to drive, looks great inside and out. as a coworker told me - "your car LOOKS fast" - and it is. Perfect alternative to those small suv's - all wheel drive piece of mind for our northeast winters, and room inside and ontop for your "toys".
As expected
I work for an VW/Audi dealer so the maintenance "issues" are taken care of immediately, however I did not appreciate the coil going at 3000 miles. I was told the "vender" was having trouble with the new design. I see many more Audi's come in on flatbeds than VW's. One thing I can definitely say is it's the best car ever in snow which it why I bought the car and also for safety. I have seen many a customer who has literally walked away from accidents that in any other cars would not have. Quattro is a very good system and please do not let anyone tell you that the BMW is the same, it is not ask any mechanic they'll tell you the difference.
a4 kicks butt
I've had my 2002 a4 for 8 months and it rules. Sport package, sunroof, heated seats. I still can't believe the beauty of the interior. I traded in Buick Regal for a4. Comparing the two cars would be like comparing Babe Ruth and Bob Eucker.
Rick's Review
This is my second A4. In two years I'll most likely be on my third...
fun to drive
Real fun to drive. Handels great
My Audi A4
So far this car has been a pleasure to drive. It is fast and lively, especially while in the manual shift mode. The multitronic transmission is sluggish in the automatic shift mode, so having the ability to shift manually saves the day. It is virtually impossible to turn the wheels on Quattro versions, which is good. The sport suspension is taut (perhaps harsh to some) and responsive. Cabin noise is muted. Controls are well placed and the red and white illumination is gorgeous. The leather is top-notch, as is the fit and finish of both the interior and exterior. Audi makes just about the finest interiors I've ever seen. This is one fine German machine!
The A4 is a Beautiful Car
The A4 Sport Package - Dolphin Gray color is a awesome looking car - the best looking on the road. The turbo gives it the extra kick when you need it. My friends think it looks great, my wife almost divorced me because of the car payments and I think it is because it shows up her car of the year 300M Chrslyer. The A4 handles better and is more sportier and is a better bulit car.
The Best 4x4 Sports Wagon Out There
1st. The Audi Dealership is hands above all the others in this class i.e. I had a bad experience at a Subaru Dealership and a local VW Dealership. So far, we love the Audi. The 3.0 is fun to smooth, fun to drive and fast. All the little extras are nice. Both my wife and I love this car. We looked at alot of cars and for the price, this car rocks. The certified pre-owned warranty is great at 100G. I would recommend this car to anyone. Note, we are coming from a Subaru that started breaking down after 100G. Time will tell. Zoom Zoom
Wow and Wowee...
This car far exceeded my expectations and everything I'd read. I didn't think I'd go for one but when I drove the '02 Passat and then the '02 1.8T, I knew that the Audi was for me. Tighter, smaller, quicker, and, yeah, more money. Don't believe what everyone says that the Passat is a better value: drive both to see what suits your driving style, etc. best. Don't get me wrong: my '99 Passat was terrific but this is car is "Wow!" The quality of craftsmanship in this car is incredible.
Still love this car after 56000 miles
Strengths: Stong 3.0 liter is a joy to drive, Tiptronic adapts to your driving mood and style. The interior is beautiful and funtional. This design still looks as fresh as it did 3 years ago. Weaknesses: Bose Stereo is not up to the level of the rest of this car, the passenger seat is not comfortable (so say my wife & son).The interior has not worn all that well. Reliability has been OK, the coils failed the same week that I received the recall notice. The bolt holding a pulley onto the engine fell out , an oil seal failed which left me stranded.Conclusions: I think that the A-4 is a better built car than my wifes M-B 240 AWD. I'm ordering a new A-6.
more than i expected
bought mine 5/16/02. was also considering a jag, or bmw 3series. how ever i ended up at an audi store only to kill a few minutes. came back the next night and made a deal on the car before driving it.well anyway i picked it up the next day and i'm more than satisfied. i look forward to driving this car every day.the car is put together beautifully, and has all the toys anyone could want. i highly recommend this car.
my first Audi
This is my first Audi. I really wanted the 3.0, but couldn't find the one w/ the options/color I wanted (Bose, 6sp and something other than white or black). And since I had the "new car bug", I decided to get the amulet red 1.8T. No regrets though I was coming from a VW Passat V6 - the 1.8T on the A4 has enough pick up as far as I am concerned. Only 600 miles so far, but no problems at all (knock on wood).
Audi A4
Fast, fun to drive vehicle that impeccably finished.
Best luxury sedan
I've been smiling since the day I picked up my baby. Rides awesome, minimal body roll, no under/oversteer thanks to Quattro. Interior space matches that of 3er and C-Class. Xenon is really bright.
So far, so good
Bought the car in December in Upstate NY, the next day it snowed..The traction control and ESP are awesome. I would have never made it out of the driveway with my old Volkswagen. I only have a couple complaints. The lack of horsepower (for those with new A4s the HP improves after about 3000 miles) We need the 4.2!!. Not enough leg room on the right side for a tall driver, significant brake fade under hard braking conditions, heavy and cumbersome in hard corners, but, I'm in love with it anyway!! Can't wait for the new S4.
Loved BMWs but Audi WON it now
The car has been all and more than I expected. Looked at BMW 330xi, Jag X and Volvo V 60. Narowed to Audi and BMW ended with Audi. Chose over the BMW because of price and got sick of the show off name and past experience of owning BMWs (cost and reliability durring and after waranty). Free maintenace (inludes all Brakes, Wipers etc.) that BMW did not have.
Fun Audi A4
Dolphin Grey is the color to get. Love the car and all the options (heated rear seats, 6-disc changer in dash, platinum lined interior, etc). I own a BMW 323i (2000) and this car drives sportier and smoother. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a $30,000 luxury car.
My 1.8T Quattro Review
The car has awesome handling, looks great, and superb build quality. You get a lot more for your money with the A4 compared to the BMW 3 series. Before test driving I was actually leaning toward a 3 series, but all it took was a test drive and seeing the A4 next to the Bimmer to sway me toward the Audi. Actually after the test drive, I didn't even consider the BMW again.
disappointed
The A4 is a nice looking car that doesn't deliver. If you are looking to purchase this car, take the extended warranty and make sure the dealership is close. There are many gremlins that will keep your dash warning lights lit up.
Great A4
After waiting 3 months to recieve my car it finally arrived. What a great car! I looked at a BMW 330, but the styling was boring. After getting the complete new Aero kit (first in the USA) put on the car it looks great! I love the Tiptronic, now my wife can enjoy driving a fast car also.
2002 Audi A4
I love the double exhaust. In and out, the car feels great. I was glad I didn't get the Passat. More importantly, I chose this car over the likes of C-Class and the 3-Series.
Best Car I've Ever Owned
This car rocks! Handling, performance, utility, it has it all. 3.0 is much better than the 1.8 turbo with lag o'plenty. The A4 Avant is stylish and very well built, and Audi as a company does it right. Their maintenance program and professionals are top notch. Car is very high tech. They can program desired functionality within minutes at service, like auto door locking, windows pan-tilt when in reverse, etc. Love the memory seats and mirrors and dual climate control with heated seats.
Best of the Best
I've been owning BMW 328I for 5 years now and we wanted to buy a sports wagon. Choices were: BMW 325 or Audi A4. A4 is better value. Styling is perfect, driving a car is pleasant. Car handles as it should be for a German automobile. Very satisfied with A4 Avant. We'll see how the quality of the car turn up in the next 5 years or more.
Well done, Audi
It's been fun to drive an A4.
Great Car
We just returned from an 800 mile roundtrip on 29.2 gallons of gas. That's over 28 MPG! The car rides like a bigger car, but handles like a sports car. The 1.8T has plenty of guts, and you know this engine is designed for the Autobahn, as she really purrs at 65, and would love to be unrestrained by the low speed limits on our (US) roads. Seats are very comfortable, and adjustable and our "black beauty" looks really rich.
02 A4 1.8 QM5 - Polar
WOW - I've waited a long time to own an A4 and I finally purchased the 2002 B6 platform. Simply awesome. Interior -no other company does it better. The exterior is sleek and sporty. The added safety and performance of Quattro make this car the best bang for your buck automobile in the Entry Sports sedan market.
Bose stereo - not impressed
The Bose stereo is a weakness. Sound is only average. FM and AM reception poor. Dealer cannot improve it. Sound system in this car should be fantastic. Can't upgrade a Bose; must replace all.
Nothing but good things to say
I finally stumbled upon the new A4 and fell in love at once. I have always liked the styling, but Audi has been weak in performance and I almost didn't even give the car a second look. The increased horsepower has made this car a dream to drive. The interior is meticulous German engineering and provides an environment that is comfortable and refined, yet not overdone. The AWD capabilities make this a perfect all around automobile. I have been nothing but pleased with the car over the past 8 months.
Audi A4
Interior is best I have seen, everything else is self-explanatory.
This is not a chevy
I bought a 2003 1.8T A4 just over a year ago and I still love my car. It's a fun car to drive while maintaining some functionality that I need. I would recommend this car to anyone considering buying one. I would also recommend getting the ECU reprogrammed by APR to improve the performance.
Best Looking AWD
This is the best AWD Wagon that I have seen. This is my second A4 and things just keep getting better. Why pay extra for the standard or should I say luxury of a center armrest (BMW you must be joking). The Car looks like a complete dream, all round an excellent purchase thought not quite as much interior load as I though I was going to get. The Sedan boot is huge.
A+ for my A4
Bought my A4Q 5 speed 2 years ago, have driven from OH to MA twice, though local mileage is low (have 20K on ODO). The car has been flawless!! Audi Symphony Sound system is excellent. Car is still quiet, handles beautifully and is tight and responsive. Still running Pirelli P6's. Everything works as well as the day I took it home. Best car I have ever owened!!
Great Car
This is a great car. Handles well, looks great and is comfortable. It seems to be loosening up the more miles that gets put on it, so I am not complaining too much about performance anymore. The interior materials are, as always, excellent and the build quality is excellent. As I write this, there is about 3200 miles on the car and I have not had any problems. The sport wheels that come with the Avant are awesome looking!
As close as perfection gets...
Before I bought this car, the hype was everywhere in magazines and other published car editorials. I took my 2000 Audi A4 for a service one day, and decided to walk around the showroom to see what the new A4, a Car and Driver 10Best car, is all about. Needless to say, I had the service department stop any work they were doing on my 2000 A4 as I decided to just purchase the 02 A4. I know there are other cars that are faster linearly, but the A4's V6 CVT was smooth. You have to get used to the gearless transmission, but this thing taps 60 mph in 6.8 seconds. You couldn't do better in a manual. On top of that, interior is top notch.
A4 1.8T Quattro Auto
I had a '99 passat, great car for the money. The '02 version is muched improved. But i wanted to upgrade to a serious sports sedan. Even though the A4 and the passat share the same engines, they are two totally different cars. I tested several sports sedans in this class, the is300, bmw 300 series, TL, and the c-class benz. The only car that came close to the A4 in terms handling/performance was the the bmw 320xi. A4 won over the 320xi due to Audi's superior tiptronic...so much more responsive and smooth vs. the steptronic. The interior is rich looking while the chrome trim and red ambiance lighing separates the A4 from any other car.
Wait... Thinking of Getting a Bimmer???
Thinking about getting a bimmer? Well, forget about it and instead test drive the Audi A4 - quattro. This is a great sports/luxury sedan all rolled up into one. Driving around town, you feel a sense of security and passion. The only other car that I enjoyed test driving was an Infiniti G35. However, it costs $4K to $6K more and did not offer an all wheel drive capability. Anyway, I am very happy with my choice and would recommend it to others that are seriously considering a Bimmer as your next vehicle (oh and one more thing. Did you know that Bimmer sells over 100,000 3-series a year - how exclusive is that?)
Never Follow
Have owned many "luxury" cars in the past and although the A4 is more an "Entery luxury or near luxury" model it clearly outperforms much more expensive cars even those not really in its class. An absolute dream to drive and a wonderful experience overall. Can not praise this car more!
AUDI - Accelerates under demonic influen
This car is not for anyone that likes acceleration of the start. The build quality is fine and the interior build quality is fine, but if you like performance this car is not for you
I love this car!
This car is awesome and pleasing to look at. Hope it is as trouble free as I hear!
One classy ride
Door shuts like no other, if u're used to closing Japanese car doors, u'd have to close this car's door a couple of times. 4 Heated Seats, individually variable. Steering is precise and on-track.
A fun yet practical drive
This car has been an excellent purchase for me. I was looking at Jettas and others of that ilk, but his car is obviously head and shoulders over those. After driving the BMW 325xi for some time, I have to say I like the A4 more! The manageability and infrequency of repairs and even scheduled maintenance make this car a no-brainer decision if you're looking at this price level or even moderately below (because the total cost to own is small).
