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.
Awesome Car!
My A4 has 170,000 miles and is still running beautifully. It is fun to drive, comfortable, and not half bad looking either. Has run flawless its whole life (It has been maintained exactly when suggested by Audi). Will replace the timing belt again soon, though the manual says every 100 or 105k from what I have read it should be replaced every 60- 80k as that is when it is said to break. Build quality is in a whole different class, the car is amazingly sound and solid. Manual shifts smooth and precise. Gas mileage is anywhere from 23-24 city to 30-31 hwy. Quattro is awesome too!!!

Great car for the money
The best car you can buy for under $30K
awesome
Awesome car, perfect in nearly every way, and with a price near many cars of lower quality or features it simply can't be beat. The car is a blast to drive with a slick and smooth transmission a strong economical engine, and great steering the car always asks for more. With a beautiful interior made of quality materials everywhere, the inside is bacially the most comfortable and safest vault ever. A new and sporty exterior it's good looking from basically every angle without using cheap graphics or cladding to attract your attention.
Fun to drive but expensive to own
My 2003 A4 has 53,000 miles on it. I bought the car for about $32,000 and have spent over $12,000 on repairs. The car is poorly built and unreliable. It is very difficult to work with Audi of America and the local dealers are terrible. Before buying one of these cars I would strongly recommend talking to someone who has owned one and checking out the service of the dealers where you live and the estimated service costs. My car has had several major problems in the 2 1/2 years that I have owned it and neither the dealer nor Audi or America seems to care.
