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.

This is a great looking and reliable car for a teenager living in the city. It does not look like it has 93,000 for a car that is 14 years old. Very roomy to take your friends around town, great storage for those overnight or weekend trips and what young person doesn't want a luxury sedan for under $4000!? It does lack today's technology (no USB port- but I'll throw in a USB charger; no Bluetooth or GPS- but smart phones work better anyway but it does have a great Bose sound system and a fun sunroof for those warm temps that are just around the corner. Beige interior with a dark blue exterior, both in great condition. The first four years of ownership was very little driving and kept in a heated car garage out in the suburbs. The past 10 years has been mostly city driving, parked in a covered garage with occasional road trips to Iowa and Wisconsin to see family and friends.

A Great Car -- Under Warranty

The handling, performance, fit and finish are all excellent. The fuel economy is better (avg. 31 mpg) than expected. The dealer's warranty service has been outstanding, which is a good thing. In 45,000 miles I have replaced one front loudspeaker, ignition coils (a recall item), windshield washer pump, sun roof switch, front cam shaft oil seal, and head cover seals. All this was warranty work, but if it hadn't been, it would have been a couple of thousand dollars on items that shouild last the life of the car. Given its record, I am not sure that I will keep it after the 50,000 mile warranty expires, or buy another one.

The car is amazing, the 5 speed is gear limited at 138 MPH, but it gets there fast with the 1.8T engine. Definitely worthy of a test drive, that's all it takes. One good pull away from a red light and you're hooked. If you're in it for luxury, you are by no means left out, this car has more features than any of the new lincolns, cadillacs, or beemers I have sat in. If you're in it for economy, I'm seeing an average of 26MPG mixed city and highway (about 60/40% respectively), so it's not too shabby.
Great Looking, But ...

I purchased a 1998 Audi 1.8 T and almost immediately had problems when the passenger side seat fell off its tracks and the cruise control didn't work. While the problems were resolved, about four years after my ownership bega, I started having serious problems with the car. Last year, less than five years after purchase, I put $3,000 into repairs. Audis may look great -- but be VERY careful of their reliability and upkeep!
