The 2005 Is A Mess & I've Had Two!

This car is a piece of @#&*! I've had two 2005s. The first one made a noise so bad people in the lane next to me remarked. The dealer, no help from Audi, gave me a new one for another $1,500 bucks. The new one had the check engine light appear under 300 miles. The shop had it for 5 days, delivered it and the engine light appeared again. My service shop has put more miles on the car delivering it to me then I've put on the car driving it. Under 500 miles and it's going back tomorrow. This is a new identical car. The first one was a turbo, transmission, electrical mess. Audi refuses to stand behind their auto. Maybe your dealer will as good as mine and help you. Buy at your own risk.

It reminds me a lot of the 1980 VW Scirocco with 14 pound callaway turbo I had in high school. It's amazingly fun to drive and handles great for the price. I highly recommend it.

Amazing Luxury and Performance Wagon

AKD, 07/09/2005
2005 Audi A4 New 2.0T Avant quattro AWD 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful

We compared wagons from Audi, BMW, Saab, Volvo, and Mercedes, and loved the modern design and understated luxury of the A4 Avant. We ordered a manual with just a few options (premium package, wood trim, and 17" wheels). I got it last week from after 3 months of waiting -- it was well worth the wait. Photos do not really do the car justice. The big grill looks great in person, and the interior is simply the best in this class. The most surprising experience is the unbelievable performance from a 2.0 liter engine. Although the reliability of European cars was concerning, driving the Audi Avant puts a smile on my face that my past Hondas and Subarus never mustered.

I've been pleasantly surprised at the performance characteristics of our new 2005 A4, purchased in December 2004. It has quite a lot of pep, a smooth transmission, and it really hugs the road. It has a quiet, very comfortable ride. The ride is surprisingly comparable to our BMW 330ci.... but with that Quattro AWD, it's a lot more practical in the snow!

After looking around for a new A4 Cab, I decided to save some bucks and get one with all the bells and whistles. No disappointments here... great car, perfect size, appointments and styling. I've had many near and full luxury autos... this one's the best. All the performance but with an understated brand. Love this car!
