My A4 was great under warranty, too bad that expired at 50,000 miles. Lately it's cost about $600 a month just to keep it running, and I've only got 90,000 miles on it. Oh and the dealership just told me I needed to replace the timing belt ($1,350) when I took it in to get checked out for the class action suit against Audi. So needless to say I will never buy another Audi agian or ever recommend anyone buy one.
Great little car

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.

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.

The a4 and the 3 series seem to be in somewhat of a battle to be THE german car in the size. Having done a lot of reading on both cars before making any desision, i noticed that all the magazines comparing the two seemed to favor the audi but yet still chose the bimmer? accepting this at face value and driving both cars, you notice both have a lot to offer. 2 advantages to the audi, are, 1)its not the cookie cutter norm. and 2)the car has a personality about it that you instantly connect with. if given a fair chance i feel that audi should rank higher buck for buck, if it would only get the media recognition it deserved....
So Long, Audi

Bought this car almost two years ago from an Audi dealership. Sadly, the engine has failed due to the infamous oil sludge build-up issue in the 1.8T engine. Car was always maintained at Audi dealer. The car is beautiful...but it will be moving on to greener pastures with someone who would like to put a new engine in it. Timing belt also had to be replaced, ignition coils, etc. Too many recalls for "Truth in Engineering", Audi.
