Fun car to own and drive-LOTS of compliments too.

This car is fun to drive! I had always wanted a convertible so for my 65th birthday I got one. Coming back from the DMV on the interstate, running about 75 miles an hour with the Bose stereo turned up loud I commented to my husband that I felt like I was 18 years old all over again. Tight legroom in back seat but designed more as a 2 seater. Dash looks like the cockpit of a plane. Real solid and heavy car compared to todays cars. Comfortable size and comfortable ride.

It has never let me down.

This is my second German vehicle. It’s amazing in the snow and everything works perfect. The only thing that doesn’t work on the car is the rear windows.

Worst piece of junk

Germans try to put too much technology. Car acts like it knows more about me than myself. It starts when it thinks it's good time to start. Heat comes on only when car thinks it's ok to warm me. Too many xxxx sensors that don't do their job right. Too many parts made out of plastic that keep breaking. Control panel buttons fade away and hard to figure out what they do without a manual. Extremely hard to work on. Worst piece of junk I ever owned.

Best car owned

This car was so fun to drive and surprisingly very reliable. This V6 engine is solid after 100k miles, still going strong. German cars normally have issues with knobs and things, but this car survived 15 years without any broken.

Road Trip Car

The Audi A4 Quattro Avant is excellent for long road trips and a daily commuter. Great room without being excessively large. A fun car to drive.

This little tank has it all

Bought mine with 90k on it, currently has 178k. Maintenance is definetely more expensive, but happens with less frequency- so I call it a wash. Totally safe, handles snowy mountain roads like nobody's business and looks amazing. So, I gave my 2003 A4 to my son who is going off to college- and bought another for myself!
