  2004 Audi A4 1.8T FWD - 2004 Audi A4
  By carenthusiast4 - November 18 - 6:14 pm

  I bought my 04 A4 1.8T FWD a little under a year ago with 87,xxx miles on it, havent had a single problem with it beyond regular maintenance. Keeping up on regular maintenance is important to preserve the life of the car (more so than for non-European cars). Fortunately, any known problems (like the timing belt) had been worked out by the previous owner. Very good value, rock solid reliability, comfortable and very fun to drive. If you want speed, get the 3.0 V6 or the S4. As it is though, the 1.8T CVT goes from 0-60 in 7.8 seconds in Sport, or 8.5 seconds in Drive. Not to bad for a small engine, getting 33 mpg on the highway. Handles like a dream. Very nice interior. Audio system rocks.

  Ok so i feel like the only people that write reviews are the people that have problems...... Really you are switching from a Nice loaded sports car to a cheapo Economy car with cloths seats?????? I myself have never had any problems and several of my buddies have never had any problems only on EDMUNDS do people have problems.....

  Best Car ever Owned - 2004 Audi A4
  By popeyes - April 7 - 10:44 am

  Original owner of this 3.0 A4 since new. Right off the lot, negotiated 5% down. Now 7 yrs experience with it with 81K kms traveled. Quality, stability, stance, control, performance are all above great with decent gas mileage of 7.9l/100km highway 9-10l/100km city with quattro using synthetic. Audi maintenance covers everything during 3 yr warr and dealers have provided exceptional service. They replaced all my brake discs, pads and spark plugs all under warranty. Burnt bulbs, lighter socket, wiper lever seized from salt also replaced /w warr. Coils replaced under recall, but never problems just glithces with electronic in window controls, sunroof, and resets of A/C.

  Audi A4 2004 V6 3.0 6M Ultra Sport - 2004 Audi A4
  By Audi3.0B6UltraSport - July 2 - 3:53 pm

  I bought this car with approximately 40k miles on it after it had come off a lease. Its fully loaded with every available feature for that model year and has a full leather interior. Black paint, black leather. Its a sweet looking car and it drives really well. Overall Im quite happy with the car and if I had to make the decision again I would buy the same car. I average about 28 MPG - mostly highway driving. The Ultra Sport package offers most of the S4 styling with much better fuel economy. Over the years, Ive had the coil packs and the cat converters replaced under warranty, Ive had to replace the win regulators on both front windows. I still love this car though.

  Beautifully refined car - 2004 Audi A4
  By Eric - December 26 - 4:46 pm

  I have the 3.0 A4 with UltraSport package. The rims and trim associated with this package turn this car into a head turner. My previous vehicle was a 1991 MR2 Turbo. Although it might be the slowest car in its class, I love it. The biggest difference I experienced (compared to Japanese brands) is the attention to detail. Things such as storage under the seating, lights under each door to illuminate where you are going to step, and a cool hidden trunk release, just to name a few. It feels super solid on the road, especially in rain. I chose the 3.0 over the 1.8T because I dont want to deal with all the problems associated with high-mileage turbos.

  I got lucky - 2004 Audi A4
  By JAG - October 31 - 4:45 pm

  As the original owner, now with 75,000 miles, I have only a few minor complaints about this, my favorite car of all time. Better handling, more comfortable and a lot more fun to drive than my wifes Lexus IS 250. The styling and performance are terrific. More power and better reliability than year models. One or the other of the tail lights have to be replaced every 6-12 months: Ive now bought the tools and now do it myself. The cup holder is a bit flimsy, and the arm rest storage cover has an easily breakable hinge. Back seat leg room is very cramped for adults (a non issue for us 2 empty nesters). I just recently discovered the 12 volt socket in the trunk.

  A4 1.8T Front Track 5Sp Manual - 2004 Audi A4
  By LASFA - October 16 - 10:00 am

  Two words......Awsome Car!!!!! i owned a passat GLS 1.8T 5sp Man. the suspension was very soft for me. The A4 is in NO WAY like the passat....much better fit and finish (not that the passat was lacking) everything in the car just feels and operates like its of the highest of quality. looked at the BMW 325i with sport package....found it to be pretty lame in comparison to this A4. for the money you can get faster cars but handling and quality dont compare. Sport suspension is very tight on the A4 so expect a VERY firm ride. But its worth it when you zip around corners.
