All Around Package
My objective was to balance these
factors with my car purchase: taxi the
kids to/from school, soccer, etc., good
fuel economy, ability to transport bike
inside, carry dogs, reasonable price,
and last but not least, FUN. This car
so far meets all these criteria. Like
most reviews, I too want a bit more hp,
but I plan to upgrade the ECU...should
do the trick.
This is one of the most intelligently
engineered cars I've seen, and coming
from 3 years of my Volvo s60, that's
saying alot. Electronically, Audi has
put so much thought into providing
features that make the car more useful
in every day driving.
Ride is ridiculous...very tight and
controlled yet comfy. 6 speed manual
is great
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.
A4 Avant
Bought to replace 1998 A4 1.8TQMS. New
car has premium, sport, cold, Bose
pkgs. New avant is slightly quicker, has
better highway mileage, but the same city
mileage as my previous car. It is very comfortable
on long drives. The XM radio is
fabulous! It feels somewhat larger than
the old car and as a result it doesn't handle quite as
well. That may be due to the all
season tires rather than a proper
summer sport tire. The ride is firm
without being harsh. Its throttle action
is slightly jerky when released
suddenly under hard acceleration. There is no
real turbo lag, but the turbo builds
power early and holds it through the
rev range. There is more leg room in the back
seat than my previous car had, but it still has less
than my wife's Passat.
