Fun, but can improve
Beautiful shape and ideas. Also, beautiful build quality. Engine is very responsive, steering very accurate and great brakes. Seats very supportive and multitude adjustments make for comfortable driving position.Handling, with regular suspension a little too bouncy.
2002 A4 1.8T Review
The 2002 A4 1.8T avant is our 3rd Audi since 1999 and first wagon. It has surpassed expectations. Functionality includes under-seat and side pocket storage, and a second cargo floor under the main floor; plus many hooks, nets, and pockets. The f/r power outlets are extremely well placed. There is even a built-in retractable cargo partition. Even the glove box has shelves! Ours has the sport package, heated f/r seats, convenience package w/moonroof, as well as cloth seats, which wear well and heat faster than leather. We also HIGHLY recommend the xenon lights. The feel of the headlight switch and radio knobs are well worth the price of admission.

CVT sucks
I have had the A 4 for about 3 months, the power is o.k. but the thing has a 1 to 2 second delay when you accelerate from a dead stop, this is a big problem when turning left infront of traffic. I would not buy this car again with the CVT.
I love going topless!
This is the first convertible I have owned and I love it, especially the one button ease of raising and lowering the top. The interior is gorgeous (red leather with black dash, headliner and carpet). The CVT is silky smooth and produces surprisingly good gas mileage for a V-6 engine. The Bose stereo system is terrific. The trunk is very generous for a convertible. The back seat is roomy. It can seat two people comfortably. I love the car's exterior - it is truly beautiful.
Nirvana
As I'm in my 50's now, I've driven many different types of vehicles but mostly Japanese, including Lexus. The ride of this vehicle supersedes by far anything I have owned or tested in performance, comfort, handling, and confidence. As I explained to a friend, this car could die on me tomorrow, and I wouldn't care because the time spent with it already has provided enough pleasure for a lifetime. Buy it, you won't regret it.
