Overview & Reviews

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.

• Elegant interior, powerful twin-turbo V6, flexibility of adjustable-height suspension, competent off-road performance.

• High base price, turbo lag, suspension can be harsh over bumps, lousy fuel economy in city driving.

  I love it, warts and all - 2003 Audi Allroad Quattro
  By Sportsman - April 21 - 10:46 am

  This car is now 7 years old, approaching 100K miles, and still looks and drives like new! I like this car so much Im willing to tolerate its high maintenance; I recently needed a new clutch and brakes; tires last for one year; the 105K maintenance is due soon ($$$). I have owned a BMW X5 and a Subaru Outback with similar functional images, but theres really no comparison to this Audi. Its a silly car in a way: the manual transs first gear is so tall that this car is a clutch-burner off-road and on boat ramps. I use this car to pull a boat trailer, haul bikes, kayaks, camping and skiing equipment, and drive fast, especially in the snow. My adult kids like to borrow it when theyre in town

  Best Car Ever Made - 2003 Audi Allroad Quattro
  By carsrfun5 - December 26 - 4:42 pm

  I love my Audi Allroad. All of my family and friends cant believe it when they see this car, it is beautiful. It is ULTRA luxury, ULTRA comfort and the nicest car, I have ever owned for what I need - family / sporty enough for a "Guy". It is awesome for my family, trips and just to cruise and it is also a lot of fun when I am alone. Its twin turbo is quick and I have never been so happy and felt so suited with a car for a combination of all my needs and still an unbelievably "hot" car. And if you take trips to the mountain and do any winter driving then this car is a MUST. 5 Stars.

  great vehicle - 2003 Audi Allroad Quattro
  By KSALLROAD - June 6 - 10:00 am

  Having owned two Landrover 4.6s and a BMW X5-4.4 in the four years before trying this car, I didnt know whether I would like it. Love it! Quieter, roomier and more reliable than the BMW. Much faster than the Rovers. Kind of funny looking but a great driver and quite quick. Turbos are great in the mountains.

  utility and comfort - 2003 Audi Allroad Quattro
  By kwan - May 20 - 10:00 am

  Elegant style, more subtle and comfortable ride than the X5 or ml class. Engine powerful, quiet and smooth, turbo lag is not that apparent once one gets use to the trottle.

  Better than PORSCHE Cayenne S - 2003 Audi Allroad Quattro
  By Wernerk320 - May 13 - 10:00 am

  The allroad offers more amenities for the money, incl. air suspension, rear seat heaters and OnStar, which is extra on the Cayenne S and standard only on the Cayenne Turbo (actually OnStar not available at all). Also the allroads on pavement handling is better and smoother then any of the two Cayennes. They do feel more like trucks. The interior in the allroad also appears to be more understated and elegant. Needless to say the AUDI materials are real, vs the Cayennes painted plastic.

  Great Car - 2003 Audi Allroad Quattro
  By Joel Mercado - April 12 - 2:10 am

  Just purchased a CPO recently. A truly wonderful car. Love the exterior and interior design. Real comfortable ride, kinda like driving a suped up Caddie. Feels like a bigger vehicle than it appears. Though heavier than most wagons, this gives me a safer feel. Performance has been very suprising so far. Instrumentation is a bit confusion though. Overall, great car.

  turn the esp off ! - 2003 Audi Allroad Quattro
  By joetii - December 23 - 2:00 am

  Best car I ever owned , and I got 14000 on it! HOWEVER , I live in upstate NY and as soon as the roads get slick , shut OFF the esp . It drives so much better that I wonder why its included.When its on in slick conditons the car is way worse than my a4 quattro that did not have it. Very fast , why chip it ? Very comfortable. I do use the adjustable suspension with work , driving on farms on dirt roads, its great !

  Just leased my second Allroad - 2003 Audi Allroad Quattro
  By ross1113 - March 30 - 10:00 am

  Had a 2001 for two year with no problems, although turbo lag is less than joyful. But for fit, finish, silence and downright useability it is a superb machine for its avowed purpose. Taking delivery in two weeks on a 2003 Allroad with same equipment and using the $2,000 Audi Loyalty contribution. Wish there were broader exterior color choices and happier less dark interior color combinations - but that aside, this longtime Audi wagon owner is quite happy to go back to zero miles and start again with a totally reliable German high quality machine.
