Best car ever owned

I previously owned an audi but this one takes the cake. I downgraded to a 2003 GTI 20th AE and owned that for 6 months, then realized I really didn't want FWD. I went from AWD to FWD and now back to AWD and I will never go back to anything less. The fact that my car is a lot faster than before and rides better than the VW and not to mention looks 100x better. The A4 is a great car for anyone looking for a luxury and sporty vehicle. I am still smiling everytime I drive my car, and you will too.

I used to drive a Passat V6 sedan FWD with auto transmission, and this Audi A4 is significantly better in all respects, but it should be - considering the 6 years and $10,000 list price difference. Haven't had any quality problems with the car, it feels very solid and dependable. The manual gearbox is a bit of a 'clunker', not exactly the quick light box I remember from a 3-series BMW. After 4000 miles it doesn't show much sign of easing up, and gear changes can be a bit rough. Also the steering is a bit heavy compared with a 3-series, but that could I guess be due to the Quattro 4WD? Overall, a very impressive car with a great engine. Goes well and sips fuel.

I love this car! it's a great combination of luxury and performance. With the seven speed auto transmission when you drive in the standard "D" position you can barely feel the car shift gears it's so smooth. Or you can put the shift into "S" mode and the transmission will hold the rpm's much longer, depending on how much you smash the excelorator, sometimes as high as 6,800 rpms. You can really feel the turbo then. Great acceleration. The car has a great stereo, standard with 10 speakers. Very nice interior with great instrument displays. Exterior styling is just unusual enough to get strangers to regularly comment on how they like the car. It has a slight hesitation from dead stop.

Best car i have ever owned. 25+ MPG in the city and 30+ MPG on the Highway. Super fun to drive. It's an all around great compact sports car. Very Minor maintenance issues, but there isn't a car out there that doesn't

Shoddy interior quality

Initially, I was very happy with my purchase of the Audi A4. With it's AWD, it was the perfect choice for driving in Wisconsin winters. However, four years into my purchase, I am very disappointed because of the shoddy wear of the interior. The glove box has fallen off, and from what I read in Audi forums, this is fairly common and Audi charges big bucks to fix this defect. The leather of the drivers seat has developed cracks. And the hinge on the center console has stopped working. I previously owned a BMW 318ti for 10 years. Year ten, the interior was just as good as the day I purchased it. For the money, I was expecting the same quality. Audi does not deliver. I will return to BMW.
