I originally bought the 5sp. manual Audi A4 1.8t used with 95,000 miles on the odometer. 15 minutes after driving it away from the dealer, the car nearly broke down, so we drove it back and they replaced an engine coil and all was fine. I went about 10,000 miles with an oil change every 3k miles, and one day when I started it up the engine was acting funny and the check engine and oil light came on, indicating that there were signs of oil sludge buildup, which I read is quite common in the 1.8t, due to design flaw. Now, the radio acts up. However I love this car regardless. Such a fun, attractive, luxurious little car.
Do not buy

We bought this car thinking it was going to be reliable. After 2 years we had to replace the engine, now at 100,000 miles we need a new transmission. It has been one thing after the other and I will never buy an Audi ever again. Nobs all wear or fall off, interior tears, head lights burn out every 2 seconds. Not only have I spent tons of money having to repair the car I want to get rid of it and it isn't worth anything, horrible resale. Bad bad bad, that is all I have to say!

I've had this car for about 1 1/2 years. I bought the car for $3,000 but ever since I've had to change coils and spark plugs left and right. Oil and Power Steering seems impossible to get them to stop leaking. I just replaced the motor and catalytic converter, fuel pump, suspension, axles, a ton of interior parts, oil sensor and turbo. I did get the car with a ton of miles though. I believe it had about 215k. It was a stupid discussion on buying it. When I first got the car about 2 months with it I had put about 3.5k into it just to get the checking engine light off that at that point I had put tooooo much money to sell it. I keep having to put money into this car every 2-3 month to keep it running smooth. With all that said, the car drives amazing car doesn't make any noise beside when you step on it. Its super comfortable and pretty fast for the weight of the car. The Quattro is the best thing ever! Handles better then any car i've driven.

this car was bought from my family brand new then passed down to me. i have had nothing but probs in this 3.0 v6 quattro. it had turned into a money pit. the coils, cats, timing belt, power steering pump, all this money and still not fixed completely. moon roof wont stay open or close without playing around with it. starter is starting to go. rpms rev when idling. overall very dissapointed in this car. done with audi/vw!
One of the worst cars I have ever owned

Loads of electrical gremlins. Spontaneously the alarm used to go off when I first got it. Radio problems, speakers cutting in and out, tweeter still busted. Dealers want $300 to replace a battery, recently paid $475 to diagnose and replace 3 feet of vacuum hose for a check engine light. Brakes were shot in 36,000 miles (my other car was good for 50,000 so it is not my driving) and tires the same. It was fun to drive when I bought it. Should have bought reliability. Maybe mine was just a lemon but I would not shop Audi/VW again.
