More repairs needed than my midpriced japanese SUV
I have a 2010 Japanese SUV and a 2009 Audi A4 convertible. I have had no repairs other than normal wear and tear on the SUV. I have had several items on the Audi and each item is double the cost. Many times some costs can be reduced by not going to a dealer. The SUV has 80,000 miles while the Audi has 25,000. Even the seatbelt buckle connection broke causing the airbag to not work.

Worst car Ever!!
Owning an Audi has been the worst experience ever!! Have owned it for 2.75 years now. Leased it after coming from a BMW I loved the free maintenance but this was an extra $800 for the Audi care package. I was able to negotiate it into the lease for no cost, so glad. My wife and I thought we got a great deal cuz we got all the bells and whistles for the same cost of a BMW base model. Well I hate driving this car and am so happy to give it back in 3 months. Audi service department sucks!!! You are nobody when you walk in. As soon as they see that I have Audi Care they start treating you better but they dont listen to you and dont call you when your car is done.

Pure awesome-ness
I own a 2009 A4 2.0T FSI Quattro Prestige S-Line. What an amazing and fun car to drive! Pros: Performance: responsive, good handling, grips the road and can make tight corners, 0-60 in 6.7 sec as advertised, smooth ride even with sport suspensions. Styling: beautifully done interior, exterior styling is amazing with nice flowing lines, still loving the LED lights after 26K. Reliability: reliable, no maintenance issues at all, all in all, a great car! Other: B&F audio is a must! 31 mpg highway Cons: Stock tires are noisy at high speeds above 60 mph -Torque steer issues that Audi has no fix for still. MMI interface does not support other languages -18 mpg city -Slow start off the line
Beautiful Looks but Ugly Engine
I love this car with all my heart the shape, the lines, the lights, just about everything about this car I love. But the engine on the other hand, that's a different story. This car is one of my favorite cars to drive. Grips to the road really well, pretty quick for the price, and insanely fun in the snow. I've never really felt confident in the snow but this car was so fun because I never felt unsafe with the quattro system. So onto the engine. I've had it just under a year and a half. I have a long commute so about 20,000 in that amount of time. (I do understand that quite a bit) I've had 2 big problems with the engine. 1st problem was the seal to the spark plugs and piston area wasn't so great. Car started misfiring pretty rough so I went to check it out and there was oil puddles and oil covering the spark plugs. $1,200 fix. Then I'm driving it around and a check engine light pops up. "Turbo Underboost" the turbo went out so now at a Certified Audi dealership its a $3,300 fix. I've done quite a bit of research on this car and the 2.0 TFSI engine isn't the most reliable engine. If you were looking for an audi that will last quite a bit longer i would recommend the 3.0 v-6 engine. It's much more reliable and a little quicker

Fun ride and head turner
I picked it up 2 weeks ago in Aruba Blue. Love the car and the color. I test drove several cars before decided on A4. You can't compare beautiful interior & exterior designing with any other car in its class. When turbo kicks in you feel you are drving on the race track not on a highway. Love the MMI, bluetooth and iPod features. I love it.
