From Day 1, this automobile has proven to me everything I ever knew about Audi as a whole. I am impressed with its quality, style, design, and attention to detail. It's a resounding 10!

This is a magnificent car in just about all respects. The only negative comments I have is that it the 1.8T Quattro is a trifle slow off of the light and that the engine is a little louder (but not loud at all compared to other autos) than what I anticipated in a luxury auto.

This was my 1st (and last) Audi after many VW's. I've had nothing but troubles. Numerous electrical problems (too many to list) the dealership either can't or won't fix. Interior is cramped. I'm 6' tall and 200lbs and have to wedge myself in and out of the car. Driver's side leg room is very bad. Center console digs into my right knee. Cup holder and glove box are totally useless. Interior knobs and parts have broken, melted, and fallen off. Exterior parts fall off. Tires wear unevenly and one is bald after only 30k mi. The dealership laughs at all the problems I report every time I bring the car in for service. Luckily it's a lease and I will be happy to pay the aquisition fee to give it back.

If you are getting a warranty than it's a nice car, but without a warranty you may be getting into something you can not afford in the long run. My car has the infamous sludge build up and my engine is now seized. Either pay 6,000 to replace it or get into an upside down loan for another 5 years.With that being said minus the sludge and the bad engine I did have some good time in this car.

My beloved mechanical trainwreck

I love this car. I also hate this car. Bought it with 43,000 miles on it, and 5k later had to replace the clutch (of course not under warranty). Since then, traction control cpu has failed (dealership fails repeatedly to fix it), THREE ignition coils have failed (one on vacation)... the list goes on. I cringe when the car so much as shudders now- it feels as though the thing's just waiting for the worst possible moment to break. Styling is great, fuel economy is decent, interior comfort and design is stellar. Turbo lag is ridiculous- the power delay is embarrassingly pronounced. The mechanical issues are too much. This has soured my opinion of Audi- my next car will not be an Audi.
