Used 2004 Audi A4 Sedan Consumer Reviews

Its not all that bad

I have owned 3 A4 1.8t quattros (1997) was my first car. I have honestly never had a MAJOR issue with either of my 3 cars, worst thing i had happen was my suspension spring broke while i was driving (in the 1997). I donno maybe i got lucky and everyone got stuck with the bad batch hahaha but any way. Car honestly looks nice from outside and in, drives and handles like a champ, not as fast but if u want a fast car get ones wit bigger engines. there are tho some down falls to em such as the [non-permissible content removed] plastic everyone keeps bringing up, window regulators going out. fortunately i know how to work on em so i never take em to service them. but for those of you who are getting them used and are not prepared to service them on time...dont get it ull just waste your money. if you are and plan to maintain them and not drive like a nascar driver, they will last an would be worth it. by far best car i ever drove

04 Audi A-4 Quattro 1.8T Ultra Sport

I have driven thousands of cars over my 18 years in the automotive industry, I can honestly say that this car hands down is my favourite car EVER. Yes some repairs can be costly, but you need to keep on top of me problem each time the car tells you there is a problem. I bought a OBD 2 engine code reader and snap shot codes and this helps me stay on top of repairs. They are Very picky with fluids so only use ones designed for this car. I have 210,000kms on it now, I hummed and haaaaed a few weeks about doing the timing belt and water pump that is do, $300. Power Grip Complete Kit ( Amazon ) + approx $500. Lab . So, for $800. I decided to go ahead with it as I thought to myself… Value Is Remembered Long After Price Is Forgotten… This car is Awesome! Can’t part with it quite yet.

Is it just me? Or is it my A4?

Longtime lover of the Audi series. Friends all swore by A4's. I finally leased one in 2004. At first I was pleased, coming off of many high end japanese vehicle leases, but I have now been in the shop with a lot of little issues. Started out with driver's power window not closing. Then water leaks in dashboard window which led to freezing ice in winter on the INSIDE. (blamed on water drains clogged?!) Window broken again. Now a/c doesn't work and transmission not shifting properly on hills. Anyone else have these issues or just me? I love my car and I'm saddened by all the time it spends in the shop.

STICKY LITTLE 6 speed

Loved it but it had to go

This was by far my favorite Audi. An 04 Ultrasport. Fantastic handling. Good thing I had an extended warranty - the car broke a lot - always something - the only way I would consider driving another Audi product at this time would be if I could have this car back - after repairing it month after month I sold it to buy a new Audi. I traded that within a month of buying it.
