It's a Beauty

I just purchased my 2005 Audi A4 3.0 Cabriolet with quattro after a long research period as I needed an all season convertable which can withstand harsh winters. This one perfectly fit the criteria. It is excellent for cold weather winter driving, being all wheel drive. It does not have a rough sports car feel and has a comfortable smooth ride. It is slightly low on horsepower but OK for my driving nature. The interior and exterior are the best in its class, especially the interior. It has enough back room for two average size adults. So far I love it.

I replaced my Miata with the A4 convertible. Not just a step up, but 100 steps up! I compared it with the BMW 300 serier and the Mercedes. No comparison for me. The creature features are over the top on the A4. I want luxury inside with a luxury exterior & price & ride = you don't all that with the BMW or Mercedes. The interior is beautiful & functional & comfortable. Can you tell I love it!

Fun car but

Purchased the car 9 months ago with 49,000 miles; seemingly low mileage for the year. So far the car has needed 2 ignition coils, a cam shaft adjustment, the coolant seal/gasket replaced and a wheel bearing replaced after racking-up a whopping 4,500 miles. Luckily the car was Certified Pre-owned, so actual out of pocket expenses have been next to nothing, other than time spent waiting at the dealership. This is a great driving car, and it's still under warranty for 16 more months, but dealership maintenance costs would be pushing $3000 after driving less than 5000 miles. Love the look and feel of the car, but worried about long term ownership expenses.

A great used car

Bought this car used, a first for me. It is the third Audi I have owned, the second A4. A tremendous used value and more reliable than a BMW (I have had 3 of those, too). Smooth ride, great ergonomics, extremely comfortable. My only complaint is that the auto tranny has trouble finding 1st gear, it can be rough. Other than that, a tremendous road car with great performance that I recommend highly.

Great Car! I test drove the Audi A4 and Infiniti G35. The G35 was nice, but the A4 was a standout! I chose the Sport package with Sirius Radio Installation. The handling and interior are outstanding. It has excellent gas mileage for the thrifty consumer. Have had the car for two months with no problems. It is truly a pleasure to drive everyday!
