106K miles and no problems yet

My A4 wagon has been the best vehicle I've owned. It's comfortable, get's great gas mileage, and looks like a million bucks. I perform regular maintenance like changing the oil and brakes, timing belt at 100K, etc, and the car takes care of the rest. Only once did I have a trouble (engine stuttering) and the cost to fix the issue was $150. I bought this car used and the value for the price has been incredible. It's safe and peppy. I have no complaints.

A Very Pretty Lemon

This is the prettiest lemon I have ever owned! Not worth the cost of the tires. It is very unreliable. I purchased this car for my daughter last year, a college student, and she has been stranded so many times that AAA canceled our contract after only 4 months! First the CVT went out, then it's been in the shop for numerous sensor replacements. Headlight replacements, $300 a pop. Just required to have the timing belt replaced at only 80K on Friday ($1500), Saturday a.m. my daughter called and said the check engine light came back on.

Save your money for repairs

2003 Audi A4 3.0 quattro AWD 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

I have owned this car for 5 years and purchased it new. I love the handling, performance,and smooth,quiet ride. It handles well in the snow. As soon as the vehicle was off warranty and still under 50,000 miles, I had to replace the power steering pump, cracked vacuum tubes, and oxygen sensors. I calculated that it has cost me $100 per month for repairs since the warranty expired. Not exactly the fine engineering and reliability I expected when I purchased the car. I read a lot of owner reviews that are experiencing the same failures my car has. I still love to drive this car, but I won't be buying another Audi.

Great Car in Need of a Few Minor Fixes

Have had the A4 V6 Cabriolet for 3 months. Very enjoyable to drive, and very tightly built. Have had a number of convertibles before, but this is the first 4 seater. Tested the BMW 3 series convertible and the Merc 320 clk convertible the Audi was the best allrounder. Good room in the rear with good leg room and a good size trunk (for a convertible) even with the top down.

Beautiful and Refined

An absolutely stunning convertable. When topless, wind and noise levels are pleasantly low. With the top up, comfort is comperable to a sedan, which is a good thing. The roof is even lined on the inside! The interior design and amenities are lavish, logical, and perfect to the touch. Audi is clearly a class leader when it comes to fit and finish. The 3.0 V6 married to the high- tech Multitronic transmission results in smooth acceleration. Power is surprisingly plentiful and fuel efficient for such a heavy car (3800 lbs). Only regret is that I didn't get the Sport Package (which will be remedied with after-market springs).
