What a Great Car!
This is the best car I've owned, to date. I ordered an Audi A-4 1.8T Quattro with manual transmission from Germany and it was delivered at the end of May 2002. I haven't had one problem with this car, not one. The build quality is superb. It handles like a dream (the Quattro is amazing!) and even the gas mileage is excellent. I've never been happier with a new car. The fact that Audi provides a complete warranty package for the first 4 years or 40,000 miles (which includes oil changes and wiper blades!!!) says something for the way Audi builds quality into their cars.
Exceptional Vehicle (So Far)
I recently purchased a red A4 with the sport package, BOSE stereo, heated seats, sunroof, platinum leather. So far I am very pleased with the purchase although I have realized my right rear tail light is out already and there are some squeaking noises inside the cabin around the doors and now in the plastic that covers the odometer. Those are minor things and can be fixed, overall the quality seems to be very nice.

B6 (2002-) A4 Review
The new A4 simply blows the competition out of the water. Before I bought my a4 I looked at the 3-Series, WRX, C-Class, S60, 9-3 Viggen, and the IS300. The A4 is the best looking inside and out of its group. The quality feels much richer than the cheap looking Japanese brands and it even bettered the other Euros. The handling is 30% stiffer than the old model A4, which translates to better handling than the competition. As far as steering response the 3-series takes the cake, but in actual road holding the a4 wins hands down.Quattro lets you drive on the edge in any condition. The A4 comes with a great warranty that you can lose for a 350 hp upgrade
Jon's Review
Awesome car, totally love it, but does have some weaknesses. Needs more power, and seats that hold you better, but I can't complain. I get so many stares with this car, handles awesome!! Looks are amazing and the interior is to die for. Makes other cars in the class look like economy cars.
Love the car, but it's a heartbreaker!
I love to drive my A4, which makes it only more painful that it's been in the shop more times than I'd care to count. It's peppy, smooth, and easy to handle on the highway. It's beautiful inside when everything's working. But, it's had more broken electrical parts than I knew existed on a car, and every repair is crazy expensive. I wonder if they fly the parts one by one from Germany! Like others, have had multiple issues with the stereo, sunroof, various lights/indicators, relays, in addition to the dead fuel pump. Tires pop like balloons, and they're expensive, too. An expensive love, for sure.
