1999 Audi A4 consumer reviews

First time Audi owner here. Im not one easily impressed but I must give xxxxxxwere they are due. This car is IMPRESSIVE to say the least! Everything about it from the exquisite styling & amazing performance to its ride comfort! From 1st Tim’s owner to a lifetime Audi owner. I’ll never drive anything but an Audi!

This car is very fun to drive. Great for the snow with all-wheel drive. Exterior design looks fantastic as well as the interior. MPG is great

Still one of the better handling cars of all time in its price range. It is lighter and more nimble that the current A4's being built. It combines comfort and handling and most cars regardless of price can offer this. I would give reliability a five but this suspension needed constant work through the years. That's right, the best feature of the car also was its weak link as far as reliability goes.

I have a Audi A4 99 for 4 year I love this car run great I never have any problem iam sailing my because aim moving to the north but whe I get thear iam going to get anonhter Audi A4 is a great car experice like never

I LOVE my '99 A4 Quattro manual! It is a tight, high-quality vehicle that gets good economy, and I was able to purchase it VERY reasonably as a used car. It did have higher miles, but because it starts out as a high-quality German car, the auto seems like it only has 1/2 the miles it actually does. The V6 is problem-free, the all wheel drive is awesome in slick conditions, and it by far is the best value I could receive for the little amount of money I paid for the car. I am planning on buying and driving another when this one someday wears out. It may take a while though, as I am at 200k and it drives like a 60k car!

The A4 has exceeded all my expectations. I can't believe how much fun driving can be. I traded in a 4x4 SUV for the A4, and was surprised at how well it handled the elements and all weather conditions, as well as how it handles the curves and bends in the road. Should have gotten one years ago! Once again, I look for reasons to drive. I'm hooked on the A4!

Purchased this car a few months ago with 80,000 miles on it. So far it's been great. It's got the 2.8 V6 in it with their AWD system and a 5 speed manual. Great traction in wet weather, no wheelspin at all while accelerating. On dry pavement it handles like a sports car. Haven't had a chance to test it out in the snow yet. Could use a bit more power, but what car couldn't? The engine runs smoothly and revs easily. The clutch has a high engagement point, but a friend of mine told me that most of the Audi's are like that. I average 25 mpg with mostly highway driving at close to 75mph. Premium fuel is recommended, but I usually use 89 octane and haven't noticed a difference between that and premium. So far it's been very reliable, but I it needs a new thermostat, as the water temperature never makes it up past the 1/4 mark. Might as well change the water pump and the timing belt at the same time. Parts alone when purchased online are about $250, so it's going to be expensive at any repair shop. The exterior styling is pretty bland, the newer ones look much better to me, but the '99's are a bargain if you can find one with low mileage.

Ok so i got my 1999 2.8 with 116000 miles on it from someone thats lives down the road which would make me the 5th owner of this car(yes i said 5th). I have never broken down in this car, its in top shape engine and body...no rust or dents to be found any where. I love the quattro in the snow which is a need here in Minnesota, i am the first one out of the driveway in the morning before its plowed and have been pushing snow with the front dumper. Cons: Fuel econ is not great...i have learned that if you run the ac it will effect the gas milage greatly - size of car is really small...so dont expect to get 5 people in it very easy. My overall empression of the vehicle is very good, i love it and will continue to drive it past 200,000 miles.

I Bought this car used with 135000 miles on it and I was a little weiry about buying any car with that many miles. Except this car. It handles and performs great. Gets up to speed quickly but it doesn't even feel like your going 80 miles an hour in this car. Comfortable interior, snug but not cramped. Wish the owner put the trip computer in it. Love the radio layout and air-conditioning and heater. The automatic shifting on this car is a little weird it takes a while to downshift after leveling out on a big hill. I also wish the exterior styling looked a little better. But no matter what, I love this car.

Bought it brand new in 1999. Since then I bought 3 German cars. I never going to buy Japanese or American. Quattro is something you can't live without on snow and rain. Engineer to last forever and lovely going high-speed in place like autobahn. Great Bose system, 5 valve per cylinder engine, perfect manual transmission. I can't compliant at all. Solid, strong and reliable.
