I have had my Audi for 2 years and it has been to the dealership for multiple problems 4 times and it needs to go back again. From interior peeling to ignition coils, it really has been one thing after another, mostly little things though. I hate the fact that the 2nd cup holder is in the center console, pretty useless! However, I have to say that I really love this car. It is a smooth ride and it can virtually get through snow and ice with very little slipping if any at all. The Bose stereo puts out great sound. It handles corners great. Could have a little more power, but its not bad. Will get another A4 but it will definitely be the newer 2009 model. Hopefully they'll get it right in 2009.

The vehicle has been brought for servicing four times to date ranging from minor problems to major problems. Life Quality Audi gave the worst service, which convinced me never to purchase another Audi again. Service consisted of unfulfilled promises.

Engine Ignition Coils Fail

My wife's 2nd A4. At 10,000 miles, two ignition coils failed-car undrivable. Dealer had car for one month. Had car back one week-third coil failed. Begged them to replace the fourth(final)coil. Audi won't let them (not enough parts). My wife is afraid to take the car anywhere beyond our neighborhood for fear of being stranded a third time Audi Client Services totally unresponsive. The dealership had over 20 A4's and A6's in the lot waiting for parts. Dealer says their hands are tied. Audi should be recalling these ignition coil problems, not waiting for them to fail.

Great looking exterior. Interior is fine, but 3 series is slightly more luxurious. Love interior lights. Feels like cockpit of a jet fighter. Handles great. Poor lowend torque. Leather feels cheap. Bose stereo isn't anything spectacular. Love spacious interior compared to 3series. Lots of leg room. Center console is a bit wide, knee keeps rubbing against the side and really hurts. Driver seat uncomfortable. Average Audi service. Don't always take care of the issue and loaner policy blows. I spend 30k and when its serviced, I have to drive around in a Ford Escort?!
good car - bad service

The brake warning light started going off...I took the car to DCH Essex which summarily announced that my brake hoses were loose and that they would not fix this under the warranty (they also charged me a $92 diagnostic fee). Feeling that this was wrong I called the customer advocacy line which basically said "our service group is our eyes and ears, we go by what they say". I took the car to another dealership which informed me that the ABS box needed to be replaced and did it under warranty. Audi customer advocacy told me that they do not refund diagnostic fees.
