An excellent car, with some drawbacks
Audi has crafted a truly fine automobile here. The interior is better executed than almost ANY other, regardless of price, anf the understated elegance of the exterior is sure to look good for many years to come. With 13K miles so far, and driving in all conditions, I'd say this car is a 9.5 out of 10. The quattro and ESP together make it unflappable in inclement weather.
I came back
My second A4, big improvements over 2000 model. Only wish that I opted for the sport package again, not nearly as good handling, even with the 17" 235/45 tires. Milage is good, 22-27 mixed, winter/summer, 30+ on hwy. Cup holders stinks, still. Miss the auto dimming mirror, too.

Id buy one again......
With 2 years and 35k passed I am continually impressed with the comfort level and fun to drive quotient that I got for my money. A re-ocurring problem with the coil packs was finally resolved. I have to comend Audi on their care for the customer. Through general maintenance at Fred Baker in which they have gone out of there way to help me, and into the Road Side assistance that rescued me 970 miles from home after my girlfriend locked BOTH sets of keys in the car.I am very impressed with the vehicle and also the level of service that stands behind it. I would buy one again.........
My Audi
Nice car and has all the extras, but needs more power. The inside is spectacular and looks so nice at night when it is all lit up. Bose stereo is good, but no like a Harmon Kardon or a Mark Levinson in a rivial sedan. Fun to drive, but just not as fun as my old BMW. My openion is, this car is nice, has plenty of options and extras, but if you can afford it buy a BMW 3 series because it is a better vehicle and funner to drive. I promise!
Disappointing Audi
My 03 A4 1.8T Quattro (53K miles) is constantly in the shop. The dealership once forgot to change the oil during scheduled maintenance, forcing a breakdown on 95. Another time, the oil pump failed, again forcing a breakdown on 95. Further, separate fuel coils have failed, forcing two additional breakdowns on the highway. Aside from reliability, the A4 1.8T Quattro is a sluggish car (although it handles nicely in bad weather). I previously owned an A4 and had similar issues. While this car looks good inside and out, its reliability is unsatisfactory, to put it mildly. I will never buy an Audi again, and I urge you to exercise caution before purchasing one.
