Used 2003 Audi allroad quattro Consumer Reviews
Partially Underrated
Very good, safe vehicle. Convenient. Great on winter roads to go skiing perfect; never put winter tires on it and never slipped once. I dont like the rugged bumper-look, however, you do spend most of your time on the inside looking out, so the interior must be super-good, and it is, comfy and lots of gizmos. Variable ground clearance is the coolest its why I got it. I expected it all to be broken by now, but 100,000 miles later it still works (and I use that toy). They say EPA is 16/23 city/high: my combined average is 22.1mpg at an average speed of 33mph, but I am a very gentle/boring driver. Overall smooth and relaxed vehicle; go anywhere any speed, over a pass or valet parking.
So Far...GREAT CAR!
I have wanted an Allroad for 2 years, but the 9 month wait for a 6 speed always sent me away. Found one on the lot last week and bought it immediately. Why would anyone buy the auto, when the 6 speed is so much more enjoyable. Best way to do away with turbo lag is wind it out a bit before shifting. And if it breaks...they fix it for 4 years. Hope all remains well...it's great so far!!!
turn the esp off !
Best car I ever owned , and I got 14000 on it! HOWEVER , I live in upstate NY and as soon as the roads get slick , shut OFF the esp . It drives so much better that I wonder why it's included.When it's on in slick conditons the car is way worse than my a4 quattro that did not have it. Very fast , why chip it ? Very comfortable. I do use the adjustable suspension with work , driving on farms on dirt roads, it's great !
great vehicle
Having owned two Landrover 4.6's and a BMW X5-4.4 in the four years before trying this car, I didn't know whether I would like it. Love it! Quieter, roomier and more reliable than the BMW. Much faster than the Rovers. Kind of funny looking but a great driver and quite quick. Turbos are great in the mountains.
First 10months
A great "compromise" between performance, luxury and utility! Better gas mileage and a more side supportive seat would be appreciated but overall a very special vehicle that is a joy after almost a year. One mechanical problem fixed immediately by dealer and none since.
