Engine Problems Never Ending

Bad engine intake valve at 49K. Dealership lost the paperwork & I drove it for a month (& beyond warranty) with the ck engine light on before they got the car fixed. Now 2k out of warranty, 4th cylinder taking in air, bad valve seat, needs new cylinder head & misc. valves. And now they're telling me the problem is that I'm changing the oil & performing maintenance per the manufacturer's instructions & I should co-pay the bill on a pre-existing condition!? I bought this car new; I am the primary driver; this is my first foreign-made vehicle; If Audi doesn't stand behind its product 100% it will be my last.

Good Car, but....

Overall, a very nice car. Powerful, solid frame, handles well. We have the technology package with bluetooth and memory seats, etc. We have enjoyed the car except for one feature: the adaptive headlights. These are Xenon headlights that move as the front wheels move. A neat idea, but we've had continuing problems with one headlight cutting off when it gets sufficiently dark for the "auto on" feature to work. Unfortunately, and despite a good effort, they have been unable to correct the problem and we are getting our money back through the state's Lemon Law. I would recommend the Audi A4, but not this adaptive light feature.

Fun to drive but...

Good looking, very fast and handles like a dream. Definitely a fun to drive car. In terms of reliability, this is the worse car I've ever owned. I have to take it to the dealer while it was under warranty at least twice. The oil filter housing (made out of plastic) broke during an oil change and it took nearly a week to receive a new one, which was over a $100. The last moth I had it, it threw "check engine" lights for three different issues. For the last one the dealer wanted over $1000 to repair it. I had them clear the light, drove it to the nearest Honda dealership, traded it in, and never looked back... for 61,000 miles, I'm disappointed.

A Great Car

I have owned my Audi for nearly two years and have put a considerable amount of miles on it. I've only needed to bring it in once outside of its scheduled maintenance for a minor problem (engine coolant leak). This car is beautifully designed, and drives like a sports car. Handles phenomenally in snowy/icy conditions and like a dream on dry pavement. I'm not rich so when I buy a car it's a big deal (I must have spent 6 mos deciding and comparing other vehicles!), but I don't think for the money I could have made a better choice!

Amazing car! I have owned Mercedes, BMW and now Audi! And I want to say German' cars are the best! And also I want to say to everybody: the Germans car need more care than others! If you not care about your car, you will get a lot of problems! So stop writing bad reviews! Check oil level on every fueling, don't drive you car after starting the engine first time in the morning, wait couple minuets, don't kill engine, and you never get a problems!
