Used 2003 Audi allroad quattro Consumer Reviews
Best SUV/All purpose vehicle made
The best part of this car is that it is great at EVERYTHING! Overall quality is second to none! The performance/handling/power is better than luxury performance sedans plus, it performs the same in the RAIN where the others have to change their driving habits, the Allroad performs the same in the rain as it does so well on the dry! The adjustable suspension gives me more ground clearance than most SUV's - If this isn't enough it is a blast in the snow - absolutely unstoppable! I am 35 - with a young family - it gives me the flexibility of a wagon in a fun, progressive/aggressive package - This is not my mother's Volvo wagon!!!
Car gets lost in comparison
I am a wagon fan. We used to drive Volvos, but shifted to Audis after numerous test drives. The Audi Allroad is the most complete car we have had. Great interior and exterior, great sound system, fun engine, great versatility because of the pneumatics that allow you to increase clearance at the touch of a button, the only downside is very average gas mileage and some parts problems from third- parties. Having had both, there is no comparison between this car and the VolvoXC70 (which is a great car) - the Allroad is just better -- more fun, more capable. If I had to have only one car (and didn't need a third row of seats) this would be it.
You get what you PAY for! One Owner... 217K
Yes, as my Title states, my Allroad has only had one owner! Me! Purchase price.. $57K in May 2003. Repairs and Maintenance.. Over $70K since the warranty ended in 2007.. So $127K over the 16 years. I did not purchase an extended warranty. I’ve read so much about this car. I know all the little idiosyncrasies. I’ve paid for a number in the Dealer. If you ask me if I’ve R/R, I probably have. New Dealer installed transmission at 165K, Air Susp Bags, Air Susp components, CVs, Brakes, Bearings, Sensors, Timing service 2Xs. I have not replaced my Turbos. It runs smooth as silk. I LOVE this ride!!! But, you have to have CASH to drive this car! I’m from Alaska, came thru Canada 4/5 different times, been all over the West Coast. It’s been on the ocean 4Xs. Best MPG achieved ‘30mpg’, with additive from Yakima, WA to Boise, ID.. I’m looking at a NEW Audi Q8. I will keep my Allroad.

Better than PORSCHE Cayenne S
The allroad offers more amenities for the money, incl. air suspension, rear seat heaters and OnStar, which is extra on the Cayenne S and standard only on the Cayenne Turbo (actually OnStar not available at all). Also the allroad's on pavement handling is better and smoother then any of the two Cayennes. They do feel more like trucks. The interior in the allroad also appears to be more understated and elegant. Needless to say the AUDI materials are real, vs the Cayenne's painted plastic.
Great car
Traded up from an A6 wagon. Liked the A6 but like the Allroad even better, in particular the increased power and general updates. It's a great car.
