I have two suggestion: 1. The cruse control should NOT be on the L. side of the steering collum just under the directional signal arm. They are easily confused! Please put it back on the steering wheel. 2. First gear is virtually useless! You go no where while the the tachometer is revving. It certainly does compromise a "quick start"! The car responses beautifully in the other 5 gears.
Great Design, Poor Reliability

I want to love this car, but the manufacturing reliability is quite poor. I've had numerous electrical problems, with the brake lights, stereo, and fuel injection. There is annoying squeaking noise in the left front suspension. The design and ergonomics of the car are outstanding, but I will never buy another Audi, because I don't trust the car will work for the long-haul and I don't want to have to take into the service department on a monthly basis.

Warning about 2003 A4

Beware, it appears the new 2003 3.0 A4s may have a serious electrical problem with the engine. Unfortunately our new A4 (2 months old) broke down with about 4,000 miles on it due to this engine electrical problem. No parts in the US to fix it and so far the dealership has been unable to get parts to fix it from Europe. We're concerned that we may need to use our state's lemon law to return the car and get out money back if it takes forever to find a fix. Extremely disappointed after paying nearly $39 K for a mostly loaded car.

I wanted a sports sedan with AWD. At the time, the G35x was still a few months away. The 225hp BMW330xi decently optioned was $43,000+. The BMW doesn't have an in-dash 6CD, dual climate control or a compass - garage door opener could be installed "after-market" and it costs $43,000? My 6spd 220hp A43.0Q stickered $39,000, but sold for a lot less. I had one problem with headlight washers - nothing more. I'm getting only about 20 mpg, which is pretty poor for this size car. My previous car, a '95 Nissab Maxima easily got near 25 mpg. The interior is beautiful, except for the bizarre set-up with the armrest / brake, and the worst cupholder this side of Yugo. The acceleration could be better, but I love the AWD. The transmission pretty rubbery vs. BMW
Fun to drive, when not in the shop...

I recently purchased a 2003 Audi A4 3.0 because the BMW 330xi was the most comparable car, but was far more expensive and came with less features. Let me say that I LOVE driving my car and even miss it when I take the train into work or if I'm on vacation, especially if I'm having to drive a poor rental car. However, I've had it in the shop 3 times now, most recently to change the spark plugs! Apparently, if the car isn't started during a drastic change in temperature, as we often get in Chicago, then the engine could misfire and have to be serviced! This is what the dealer told me and said that most newer luxury cars are like this. Still love the car, but worried over the long haul for reliability.
