Too Good to be TRUE

2005 Audi A4 3.0 Fwd 2dr Cabriolet (3.0L 6cyl CVT)

Car delivered last week. What an wonderful car!! Makes my old Sebring seem like a bucket of bolts. Great styling, ride, comfort, and lots of compliments and looks from everyone. Audi promised alot and delivers even more. This car truely makes you want to get up in the morning and go for a drive. If you are looking for a class car and don't want to be just another Joe in a Beamer or Benz...this is the car for you. I even got praise from my father-in-law who is the world's biggest car critic! Lt. Silver metalic with black interior is a real head turner. V6 delivers exceptional power across all ranges. Lot's of toys and comfort features. The interior quality is to die for!

This is a beautiful car. I have had looks and compliments on this car the minute I drove if off the lot. If you are a family guy/gal, with a sports car frame of mind, this wagon will amaze you. Even the younger crowd appreciates the sporty looks of this "family wagon". The BOSE sound system rocks too!! For 40K, I would much rather be seen in an Audi than a Bimmer. The transmission shifts effortlesly and the power in the 3.0 is naughty (great). When you accelerate, this engine gives that low gurgley noise of a powerful engine. One would think the Starship Enterprise is coming up behind them with the bi-xenon lights illuminated.

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

2005 Audi A4 1.8T Fwd 2dr Cabriolet (1.8L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

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.

2005 Audi A4 New 2.0T quattro AWD 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

About 700 miles so far and this car is winning me over. Had a 2001.5 Passat GLX, 5 speed. Close family cousin but this Audi is far nicer. The 2.0 turbo has lots of torque and is much improved from the old 1.8. The 6 speed manual is very good. Leather is a step up from the VW. Bose/XM combination is the best sound I've ever heard in a car. Gas mileage is as good as or better than my Passat was. Still discovering hidden features - DRL button. No problems detected yet - no shakes, rattles, electronic glitches. Dealer left tires way over inflated - be sure to check them

The quality of the this car is amazing. I like the design much better than the new 2.0 model. Acceleration is excellent. I considered the A4 and the TSX. The TSX feels like a car for children, while the A4 feels like a car for professional adults. Got the 1.8 with FrontTrak, which seemed more peppy than with Quattro. Also, the FrontTrak model gets really good gas mileage. I get up to 39 mpg on Hwy 101 during rush hour traffic. Purchased my car from Rector Audit in Burlingame. The sales staff was very professional and not like your typical car dealership. Projector headlights are fine - you don't need xenon. Standard stereo works great.
