Used 2004 Audi A4 Sedan Consumer Reviews
2004 audi a4
Love this car very nice easy to take care off have over 200k on it only maintence is oil changes evey 4 months and timeing belt water pump every 65k other thin that nothing
Beautifully refined car
I have the 3.0 A4 with UltraSport package. The rims and trim associated with this package turn this car into a head turner. My previous vehicle was a 1991 MR2 Turbo. Although it might be the slowest car in it's class, I love it. The biggest difference I experienced (compared to Japanese brands) is the attention to detail. Things such as storage under the seating, lights under each door to illuminate where you are going to step, and a cool hidden trunk release, just to name a few. It feels super solid on the road, especially in rain. I chose the 3.0 over the 1.8T because I don't want to deal with all the problems associated with high-mileage turbos.

A4 1.8T with tip auto
I bought this car used with 38k miles now it has 63k miles and the fuel pump along with airbag sensor and window motor all went bad. luckily i bought the extended warranty which covered all expenses with a minor 50 dollar deductible. Very expensive car to keep up with i wouldn't recommend it if you're on a tight budget. One RSA good year tire $200 oil change $75. Car makes a grinding initially of every first start. The trans doesn't feel very strong and i baby it so much i don't even tip 2500 RPM. A light buld change is $100+ I'm going Toyota or Honda next.
Great.......until it wasn't !
Bought this 04 with 93K on it, used for mostly city driving, but was driven through some harsh winters and poor road conditions. The AWD made this an absolute tank and I've never had a vehicle that handled quite like it. Fast, comfortable, 32-34 MPGs. Unfortunately as the miles tacked on, the more it ended up in the shop for expensive repairs. Unless you know someone who can work on euro cars or can do it yourself, you'll bleed $ every time there's an issue. And once the car started having problems around the 120K mark 6 years after later, it never seemed to stop. The check engine light was always on, the electronics started screwing up, and even after maintenance the performance still lagged. I got luckily when the metal roofing blew off of my neighbors barn and totaled the thing. Grace from God.

2004 Audi A4 1.8T FWD
I bought my '04 A4 1.8T FWD a little under a year ago with 87,xxx miles on it, haven't had a single problem with it beyond regular maintenance. Keeping up on regular maintenance is important to preserve the life of the car (more so than for non-European cars). Fortunately, any known problems (like the timing belt) had been worked out by the previous owner. Very good value, rock solid reliability, comfortable and very fun to drive. If you want speed, get the 3.0 V6 or the S4. As it is though, the 1.8T CVT goes from 0-60 in 7.8 seconds in Sport, or 8.5 seconds in Drive. Not to bad for a small engine, getting 33 mpg on the highway. Handles like a dream. Very nice interior. Audio system rocks.
