2005 Audi A4 consumer reviews

I love this car and will drive it into the ground. It does have some small pricey quarks. Window regulators along with several components which like to play games and choose to work or take the day off. the ride is so smooth with quick response. the inside is perfection. the entire layout is smooth with no gap lines completely solid. little attention to detail makes it easy on the eyes. this car is simply wonderful and if you so choose to love it she is an expensive woman to keep happy.

just got a 3.0 audi V6 and by far the fastest best looking car i have ever owned. the paddle shift is pretty fun, and make it considerably faster. overall great car.

My most favorite Convertible ever. (owned four total) Love it, drives very sporty but is not missing luxury and class at all. German cars are the best. Great craftsmanship and awesome technology.

Bought used and owned for over a year. Lots of fun to drive. Only problem was a water pump went bad. Comfortable and built like a rock.

The good things: fun to drive, good looking, good performance of engine and Quattro system, good enough gas/mileage. The bad things: engine a little noisy, powerful vibrations when idling, check engine light went on at some point - something related to gas tank fixed under warranty, the gas gauge got stuck at 1/3 full. Overall: I owned the car for only 6 months and it had minor problems, nothing really important, but I expected a little more quality from Audi. Even if I am an Audi fan I'm thinking about trying BMW next time. 2005 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro.

Elegant design inside-out, powerful engine and transmission, super good gas-mileage. Two areas to be improved: 1. Navigation system: clumsy operation, maps needed upgrade... 2. A bit too much road noise inside the cabinet.

I originally bought this car for my wife, who doesn't care so much about performance, but I have found it to be a very fun car to drive. The sport suspension is a little stiff (to be expected) but it handles excellently and is very responsive. Acceleration is surprising considering the engine specs, but Audi did a great job tuning the turbo for the torque curve. My only complaint is that the center console is a little wide for a long legged guy like me (especially when the kids are in the back) because my knee has to rest against it. Otherwise a great drive, with good ergonomics.

A4 1.8T sport package with special edition package which is the S4 body kit and spoiler and steering wheel. This car is built solid which you can tell from the moment that you close the door. The 1.8T teamed with the 6 speed multitronic trans is amazing, not the greatest performance but when you realize that you are being propelled by a 4 cylinder engine with the great gas mileage it is amazing. The seats are firm and the suspension very taut so if you are looking for comfort you should look elsewhere, but if you are looking for the handling of a sports car which can carry 4 people then this is the car for you. I highly recommend this car as it is a fun car to drive and I love the look of the car especially with the Special Edition package.

I purchased this vehicle in March 2005 and loved the way it looked, performance, fuel economy. I had a great purchasing experience with the dealership and with Audi USA. My problems started when my vehicle started having problems. It started small, coolant leaks and light bulbs burning out. It quickly progressed into fuel injectors leaking badly and sending gas fumes everywhere, to the computer going out. The air bag light would go on and off, the fuel tank wouldn't take fuel at the pump(only taking a dollar or less at a time and then shutting off), the truck latch malfunctioning and not staying closed, another coolant leak, loud ticking sound after engine heating up to operating temperature. This is a lot to deal with for not even owning this car for 23 months. This car has spent about 10 percent of the time that I have owned it, in the shop. I am tired of driving rental cars around. when calling Audi and seeing if they could do something for me, they couldn't even give me an answer when promised, only finding out over 2 weeks later that they wouldn't do anything for my trouble. I have had to take time off of work to drop the car off and pick it up several times. They didn't seem to care about my concerns with the experience I was having with my car. I had a service consultant argue with me over the phone and tell me that there wasn't any manager that I could talk too, for at least 4 or 5 days. HORRIBLE experience. BUYERS BEWARE!!! Audi will not stand behind it's products and don't care when you have problems like these.

This car is a great car. The features of an A4 with the engine of an A6. Audi does a great job of making a car that is not too flashy yet not too boring. It truely is the perfect car. The all wheel drive is perfect for the Minnesota driver and the handling is equal, in my opinion, to the BMW handling that I have experienced in my previous cars. It gets good milage, has a great warranty and is not outrageously expensive. This truely is a sportscar for those who don't want people to know that they have a sports car. Compare this vehicle to A4 1.8 and 2.0 and I am sure you will decide that this is the one that you want.
