Used 2003 Audi A4 3.0 quattro AWD 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6M) Consumer Reviews
EXCELLENT
I have driven my car over 26000 miles in one year. That's the equivolent to 2 years' driving...nothing but a pleasure. On the longest drives (8 hours total, non-stop, city/ hgwy) I've always remained comfortable. During rainy days and at night w/ my xenons, always safe. No engine troubles, no stalling, no electrical problems. Fit & finish are great, as well as all the non-gadgetty gadgets. Although I would prefer better gas mileage, the comfort & prestige and head turning design make it all worthwhile and gives a huge level of satisfaction!
Love my car.....but....things to know
I love my audi and will say that it drives the same as the day I bought it (with 8800 miles on it). With that said, repairs are expensive so you should know that. Find a good VW or Audi mechanic and don't use your dealership as they are a rip off. Here are some things I have paid for on my car with 86K miles on it. At 43K a new clutch....70K a new timing belt, spark plugs, and water pump, front breaks at 72K and rear breaks at $77K.....82K catalytic converter, 85K miles suspension arms, etc. In the last year I have put $5,000 in my audi and plan to keep it for another 80K miles. My mechanic has been great and lesson learned is after the warranty was up I should have found a mechanic.

audi review
great fun to drive, handles well, feels safe in all weather conditions,performance is excellent, interior is comfortable, back seat leg room slightly small and trunk slightly small.
Great used luxury sport vehicle
We were looking for a sports sedan but not neccessarily the Audi, but when we saw the car it immediately caught our attention. We really liked the exterior line and the interior finishes. After the test drive we were hooked, but concerned about the reliablity of the Audi brand. Our fears were relieved when we researched the car. After a second test drive we bought the car and have no regrets. The car handles extremely well on the back roads. We have had no troubles with the car which is approaching 67,000 miles. Our only beef is the car feels cramped when our two elementary age kids are with us. The car performed and handle extremely well on a recent mtn. trip.
A never ending clunker.
I previously owned an 04 Audi A4 Quattro 3.0L V6 in 6 speed manual transmission. It drove pretty good and the performance wasn’t so bad. What WAS bad were the electrical issues I would have throughout the time owning the vehicle such as the rear passenger window not rolling down when using the main switch on the driver’s side so I had to always reach over to press the switch in the door. Some of the different switches in the cabin would deteriorate so it would be hard to know what you’re exactly activating. This engine did eat up a good amount of oil so beware of that. I have owned this car for three years and sold it when it had roughly 82k miles. My mechanic said that the timing belt needed to be changed and would’ve been a $2,000 job so I’m glad I got rid of the vehicle. It’s a fun little car to drive but not worth the headache in the end, trust me.
