This Year's Model Updates:

Audi's rugged allroad quattro receives no changes, but the options list has been simplified. Rather than offering various "convenience," "preferred" and "warm weather" packages, a lengthy list of desirable features, including leather, xenons, sunroof and auto-dimming mirrors have been bundled into a handful of premium packages. A cold weather package includes front and rear seat heaters with a ski sack. The Parktronic parking assist system is now a stand-alone extra, and the rear-facing third-row seat has been deleted from the options list. Finally, for those who find the allroad's twin turbo V6 wanting, Audi is expected to introduce its 4.2-liter V8 sometime in the 2003 calendar year.

Pros:
  • Elegant interior, powerful twin-turbo V6, flexibility of adjustable-height suspension, competent off-road performance.
Cons:
  • High base price, turbo lag, suspension can be harsh over bumps, lousy fuel economy in city driving.

  • Best all arround ever - 2003 Audi Allroad Quattro
    By -

    After having 3 and 5 series BMW crossovers and SUV, I finally got the Allroad. Wish I had gotten one years ago. Amazing ride, power, versatility, comfort. Quattro system is a blessing in bad weather, adjustable suspension works like a charm, family dog loves riding in the back separated by standard mesh screen. Perfect! Do yourself a favor and get one now!

    I just picked up a 2002 Audi allroad quattro this week, and I couldnt be happier with its performance and elegant interior. Externally, its one of the best looking cars are the road - wagon or sedan. The car handles very well. The only drawback with the allroad is the poor fuel economy. Nevertheless, the car is amazing. After I had considered many SUVs (i.e. X5, ML 320, RX 300, GX 470), Im very glad I decided to get the allroad. Its aggressive styling, performance & utility made it the best option for my family.

    This is my first german built car. It is the best car Ive ever owned. Interior quality is superior and rear seating is confortable and surprisingly roomy. The drivers side entry is a tight fit. But once inside, the car is pure car-comfort heaven. Tiptronic was fine for my previous 300M, but I much prefer 6spM for the Allroad. I would not go back to tiptronic, even in 4.2L.

    Very good, safe vehicle. Convenient. Great on winter roads to go skiing – perfect; never put winter tires on it and never slipped once. I don’t like the rugged bumper-look, however, you do spend most of your time on the inside looking out, so the interior must be super-good, and it is, comfy and lots of gizmos. Variable ground clearance is the coolest – it’s why I got it. I expected it all to be broken by now, but 100,000 miles later it still works (and I use that toy). They say EPA is 16/23 city/high: my combined average is 22.1mpg at an average speed of 33mph, but I am a very gentle/boring driver. Overall smooth and relaxed vehicle; go anywhere any speed, over a pass or valet parking.

  • sporty & fun to drive - 2003 Audi Allroad Quattro

    Im extremely happy with my purchase. The car is extremely safe & well built. I needed something safe to drive around in with my family. I also love the allroad feature plus that you can raise & lower the vehicle, this came very handy with all the snow that we had this year. The vehicle really sticks to the road. It has a sporty appearance & the quality & elegance of German engineering. I also own an Audi A4 and remain a loyal Audi customer. The Service departments & customer service are excellant. You are treated like a King.

  • So Far...GREAT CAR! - 2003 Audi Allroad Quattro

    I have wanted an Allroad for 2 years, but the 9 month wait for a 6 speed always sent me away. Found one on the lot last week and bought it immediately. Why would anyone buy the auto, when the 6 speed is so much more enjoyable. Best way to do away with turbo lag is wind it out a bit before shifting. And if it breaks...they fix it for 4 years. Hope all remains well...its great so far!!!

  • Like a Rock ! - 2003 Audi Allroad Quattro

    By far, this is the most comfortable car I have driven for long trips. The ride is just soo much better than the BMW 3 series. The cargo space is much bigger than other SUVs and wagons. The powerful bi-turbo engine is a sheer delight. The AWD system, safety features, curtain airbags, and Onstar service makes me safer on trips.

  • Do not buy an Allroad - 2003 Audi Allroad Quattro
    By -

    These cars are great for a while... like a short while. Like another poster said, each shop visit is going to cost 4 digits and they are going to happen a few times a year... not to mention 800 dollars tires. They are hungry Brake eaters as well... there is another $800 routine maintnance bill. They are money pits, but I did love it when it was behaving.
