"Just purchased one used and it has been great. Did my research to make sure the previous owner kept up with the maintenance. That is a big key in buying any car! It was due for oil and tires but outside of that the car has been great!"

"Never one mechanical issue with one of them and I have 5. I make sure they are always in tip top condition and in return they never see the inside of a shop. Some advice for future owners: let your car cool down before to turn it off, make sure all fluids are fresh at all times (very cheap preventative solution), do not drive like a maniac, let RPM settle before you start driving."

"I just got one of these and it runs great! The acceleration on it is slow but when you're at 60 you can hit 120 in 3 seconds! Also the looks I get when drivin it are amazing. It is one of the greatest car makers! Although you do pay for what you get. The repairs are very coatly. But I would totally recommend one of these to any buyer."

"Great features, extremely comfortable car, superb performance. I drove this car for 4 year. It handled better than any other car I have driven. It has its issues with reliability but when it's running the way it should, this car's features are nothing short of spectacular. Super comfortable, perfect interstate car. just want to say its great to Drive it."

"Prior to buying a 3.0 A4 Quattro, I owned a Lexus IS-300. Never had a problem with the Lexus. The Audi was horrible! Constant problems. Every two weeks something would go wrong, and it was in the shop for a week. The early 2000's Audi's are horrible cars. I've heard they fixed the problems in the newer ones. Currently I drive a Infiniti G35, and love it!"

"I've had an audi A4 for 8 years and I can only say it's by far the best sedan in the market - no wonder Audi (VSW) will become the #1 car company in the world. Move over Toyota/Lexus, BMW and the rest - AUDI is it!"

"Spent thousands replacing many failed parts between 65k and 100k miles: tachometer, speedometer, transmission, both rear window motors, ignition coils, emissions control unit, driver heated seat, cup holder, glove box, center arm rest and even the leather seats cracked after 80k. If you want a dependable, reliable, cost effective car, stay way from Audi."

"I've had several Audi's over the years and this has been one of my favorites. I drove it to well over 200,000 miles without even replacing the clutch on it! The fit and finish was impecable up until the day I sold it recently. Other than having a recall to replace my ignition coils along the way I didn't have hardly any issues other than regular maintenance. I just updated to an A6 with the growing family and expect it will treat me excellent like those in the past! Not to mention nothing beats them for safety and winter driving!"

"Our Audi A4 1.8T Quattro Avant is the do everything car. Great for family use, at the track, or going skiing in the mountains. Quality shows through out and the design is timeless. I do most of my own maintenance and I have been able to do it affordably. 100K work gets a bit involved, but not bad since it's only at that interval. Ours has the 5 speed manual and it zips around nice for a car that gets 30mpg on the highway."

"I just purchased a 2003 Audi A4 1.8T convertible. This entry level luxury car has everything you'll ever want or need. It is incredibly quiet with top down, so you can listen to your favorite music on the bose 10 speaker sound system. It handles beautifully. I love it!"
