Used 2004 Audi A4 1.8T quattro AWD 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 6M) Consumer Reviews
Ultra Sport
Get the ultra sport package at all cost! This is the difference maker (look-wise). I lowered suspension, 18" wheels and aluminum trim make the A4 a beautiful piece of machinery. I got my A4 through Costco's automotive program (Beverly Hills Audi). I saved over $2000.
1.8 Turbo w/6 spd
The turbo lag is noticable, but winding the engine up, even just a little, on take off takes care of this. The 6 speed also helps quicken the car up a great deal as compared to the automatic. We went with the Sport Package which does make the ride firm, but mini vans and SUV's really become annoying on on and off ramps :)

BETTER than $BMW$
This car has it all. For any would be 3 series buyers out there, do the test drive and try in vain to match the superb performance.
Major Let Down
Bought this car used July 4th, 2008. Immaculate condition. No dents, no scraps, everything worked! One month into it, the auto leveling headlghts malfunctioned, power windows failed, Pirelli tires were awful! Then, coil packs failed, engined missfired and had to be towed away! Rattles galore! I love the engine sound, interior style, material quality and over all subtle style. If you're gonna buy this car buy a good after market warranty, and have it inspected thouroughly before purchasing!
Very nice, but could use more oomph
I find the 1.8t A4 quattro to be a very comfortable and fun car to drive. While not a complete dog, the 1.8 liter four is a little underpowered for this car's weight. The six-speed shifts nicely and helps keep things more lively, but there is no substitute for more grunt. The interior finish is impeccable, the controls work well, and the quattro system helps in the corners. I am concerned about the long- term reliability. My car has just over 1000 miles and is rattling in the back ... I hope it will not be problematic.
