AUDI A4 ....What a dissapointment!!

Do your research!!! I purchased this used 2009 A4 Quattro with 72k miles, the car is very appealing and looks very nice which is what my wife liked about it. I thought I got a really good deal on the car, but now I know why the dealer basically gave it away and didn't push for that extended warranty. This car is by far the worse car I've ever had on maintenance issues. The oil consumption is just ridiculous and just started ticking very loud...I have a 3 series BMW and absolutely love it. I'm going to be trading the Audi in soon for another BMW and be done with this car. I jumped in this car without doing my research and paid for it. There are complaints about this oil issue every where and the dealership will not help unless your under warranty. Even under warranty it will be a hassle, don't make the same mistake! Update 04/19/2017... car melted cylinder 4 valves out of no where..3k in repairs...wtf audi!!!!

I bought the car with 53,300 miles on it, made sure all of the proper maintenance was done, engine recall was fixed with this car, and the interior was in such good condition, it looked as if no one ever really drove it. Everything seemed WAY too good to be true... well... it was. Lets just say I owned the car from a sunday to Thursday in the same week, thanks to the engine seizing. I would highly recommend approaching competitors of the a4 considering they are generally gonna last you a few years and hopefully keep you from losing damn near 8.5k.

I have the Audi for six months now. I have grown to enjoy it more the longer I've driven it. It is comfortable, zippy (especially in manual mode), quiet (even with the top down with the wind screen installed), and a blast to drive! This has become my favorite car I've owned/leased, slightly nudging out the Honda S2000. The S2000 was much more fun to drive, but the added convenience of a full sized trunk, and back seat in the Audi, plus the fun to drive factor, have it beat. I recommend this vehicle (or its replacement the A5, which I can't wait to get!) without reservation. There are great deals on any A4's left in stock, since this is the last year. Go get one and start having fun!

Engine Fail

I love my audi a4. It is fun to drive, luxurious, and has beautiful design. I do think that what outweighs the beauty of the car is the engine problems. My 2009 model as well as many other models from 2009-2012 have major engine problems due to failed timing chains which completely ruin the engine in seconds. I went to start my car one day and it was completely wrecked. I had to buy an engine for the car which costed me over $8,000. Although I will be getting some of that money back from the audi/volkswagen timing chain litigation. I love this car, but it can be extremely frustrating to not have the car for months due to engine problems and the amount of money I have spent on it is ridiculous.

2009 A4- stay away

I bought it with 24000 miles and am going to sell it as soon as it gets out of CPO. I have replaced the motor mounts 3 times, a steering hose twice, and just got done replacing the pistons. All these repairs were done before 55,000 miles. I now have about 62k on it, and can't wait to sell it. This car has been a nightmare and would have cost more than $12000 in repairs if it wasn't a CPO car.
