My experience so far has been a negative one. One month with the car and an engine belt breaks off meaning 2 weeks of labor. An extra two months into the car and the left tail light went off. Lately, the Airbag sign came on. Not to mention that the ignition key battery is already dead.

This is a truly splendid car to drive. The turbo-lag takes a while to get used to, but it has ample power and torque. The build quality, interior design and instrumentation are superb.The road-holding is very good: a firm, sure-footed ride. The backup (I have had one minor problem) has been exemplary. I strongly recommend the Audi. It might not have the 'glitz' appeal of the BMW, but it make up for it with its 'solidness'. Remember to compare this particular model with the BMW 320i or with the Mercedes C200 - not with the BMW 230i or Mercedes C240.

A4 1.8t 5-Speed M W/ Ultra-Sports Pack.

This car delivers with the Ultra-Sports package. The 170hp engine has just enough power. I had a '99 A4 before this and it had 150hp and the 20 hp, especially with the manual, is noticeably more powerful. I had 16 inch wheels with a sports package on my old A4 and this new A4 with the Ultra- Sports package rides a lot better than my old A4 ever did, and my new one has 18 inch wheels with 40 series tires!!!! Great job on the suspension guys! I just love this car. Yeah, it could use the Acura TSX's engine, but I have enough fun in my A4 without getting arrested. I highly recommend an Audi. They get a bad rap on reliability. I had my '99 6 years and 100k miles. I had no major problems.

Don't Be Fooled A4 Smokes Them All

I test drove A4, TSX, S40 & 3-Series. TSX is cheap and slow...peices coming off demo. S40 is fast, but unrefined and noisy at speed. The 3-Series is OVERPRICED. My A4 is a 1.8t 5-Speed w/ BOSE, Premium Package & Sports Package. The interior is outstanding compared to everything else. The engine w/out Quattro makes the car REALLY fun to drive & fast. I also have averaged 33.5MPG...outstanding! Overall I love my new car. I am very happy I didn't get anything else I drove. The A4 is fun, reliable (I had a '99 A4 before & no problems over 6 years)and the insurance was the lowest..wow. You can't go wrong if you are looking at the A4.
