Overview & Reviews

The big news is the arrival of the A4 Cabriolet, a fetching drop-top version of the A4 sedan. Initially, the company will offer only one drivetrain choice -- front-wheel drive with the 3.0-liter V6 engine and continuously variable transmission. Expect to see a 1.8T version midway through the model year and a 3.0 quattro Cab by October 2003. No word yet on the possibility of a manual transmission. As if this weren't enough, Audi plans to release a coupe version of the A4 in early 2003. The rest of the A4 lineup benefits from equipment upgrades. Leather is now optional on all 1.8T models, as are 12-way power front seats. All 3.0s will come swathed in leather, with more deluxe leather optional. Previous stand-alone options for the 3.0, including xenons and satellite steering wheel controls, have been swept up into the Premium Package. A new cold weather package includes seat heaters and a ski sack, and 17-inch all-season tires are a stand-alone extra.

• Available all-wheel drive, classy interiors laden with amenities, stable handling.

• Price goes up quickly with options, engines a little short on low-end torque.

  Good styling, Terrible power. - 2003 Audi A4
  By dirk - May 2 - 10:00 am

  You have to give props to Audi for their styling of the A4, but talk about lack of power and torque, it is very sluggish and the front wheel drive is not a characteristic of a true sports car. Other than that the quality and build are good.

  Best Value in its class. - 2003 Audi A4
  By GaryC - December 19 - 10:00 am

  I got this one after a 01 BMW 325CI 5spd. Performance is better than expected. The handling is great, better than my BMW. Seat has more adjustments but slightly less comfortable. Initial quality is superb. Car is tight and very solid. Cup holders have been improved. More features than BMW and a better value, looks better to(4 Door).

  Audi walks away from a LEMON - 2003 Audi A4
  By Gilly Sr. - September 24 - 10:00 am

  Ive owned it for 14 months and its been out of my posession for 47 days for mechanical rasons. 38 days for ignition coil(s) problems, 4 days to replace a faulty catalytic convertor and most recently, 5 days to replace a failed fan regulator module. Audi customer service takes a week to call me back to tell me theyve decided to continue to service the car under the terms of warranty. I gotta a lemon folks and Audi doesnt want to make it right. Now its my lawyers turn.

  Audio Problem - 2003 Audi A4
  By Jin - December 5 - 2:00 am

  I bought a Audi A4 1.8T about a month ago. It runs good and is getting better and better as I get used to it. This is definetely well-built car but not electronically reliable.

  Engine Ignition Coils Fail - 2003 Audi A4
  By Dissatisfied A4 - December 5 - 2:00 am

  My wifes 2nd A4. At 10,000 miles, two ignition coils failed-car undrivable. Dealer had car for one month. Had car back one week-third coil failed. Begged them to replace the fourth(final)coil. Audi wont let them (not enough parts). My wife is afraid to take the car anywhere beyond our neighborhood for fear of being stranded a third time Audi Client Services totally unresponsive. The dealership had over 20 A4s and A6s in the lot waiting for parts. Dealer says their hands are tied. Audi should be recalling these ignition coil problems, not waiting for them to fail.

  Head turner! - 2003 Audi A4
  By VenTTed - October 12 - 10:00 am

  Great car (this is our second Audi) and my wife loves it. It will be her dily driver and shes captivated by it. The CVT tranny though results in a VERY slow pick up as you initially accelerate. Once moving, this car is impressive in all areas for a cruiser and a blast to drive. In two weeks, we have 1800 miles on it.

  Great Car but Terrible Gas Mileage - 2003 Audi A4
  By Mario Duron - August 5 - 10:00 am

  This 2002 Audi Avant Automatic with an average of 17mpg. I can do straight highway and still only get 20mpg. Now the sticker says I should be getting 19 city and 28 Highway. But that is a bold- face lie. NO!, I wish Audi would post an accurate MPG on the sticker so buyers would be aware of what cost they are getting into. Another feature i dont like is the oil changes at 10,000 mile intervals. The dealer does not know if I have motor oil or synthetic? Services are supposed to be free for 4yr or 50,000 miles. mmm I used to change my oil every 3000 miles.

  A4 sport package 1.8T - 2003 Audi A4
  By Pamos99 - June 5 - 10:00 am

  I purchased a 2003 A4 1.8t quattro with the manual transmission and sport package. I was looking for a car with all wheel drive that was still fun to drive. The Audi definitely delivers. The sport package makes it handle like a sports car -- although you will need to buy different tires for the winter. My sister owns a 2002 A4 with the 6 cylinder and an automatic (no sports package) and it definitely is not worth the extra $8000 in my opinion. I took mine home for $29K and its a great value for money -- fun to drive and extremely high quality.

  No... its not a Glorified Jetta!!! - 2003 Audi A4
  By Allizard - April 30 - 2:00 am

  I was comparing with IS300, Mazda6 and Jetta GLI and even the Passat GLX before making the final decision. Im glad they added the power seat feature on the premium package. How funny for a 30k car doesnt have a power seat before 03. I love the look inside and out. At first 1.8T seems a bit weak at start up but runs much better once on the open freeway. Nothing cant fix with a new chip.
