Overview & Reviews

Audi's entry-level sedan and wagon are all new for 2002. Along with a redesigned body structure and new sheet metal, the new A4 receives a variety of changes to make it sportier. It is motivated by either a 170-horsepower 1.8-liter turbocharged four or a completely new 3.0-liter 220-horsepower V6, which can be mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Making its debut this year for non-quattro models is a continuously variable transmission (CVT), also known as multitronic. An in-dash six-disc CD changer and a dual-zone auto climate control top the standard features list.

• Available all-wheel drive, powerful engines, sharp handling.

• Prices shoot up with options.

  =( - 2002 Audi A4
  By Kam - January 2 - 11:49 am

  Bought that Audi 4 months ago, 3k miles and 3000 dollars I spend for keeping it running. Oil leak, pump(timing belt), catalytic, heater problems, ignition coils...and some more...14 - 15mpg in a city. It looks really great, but im afraid to drive it, anything could break anytime...

  Looks Good, Runs Bad - 2002 Audi A4
  By jetche - June 21 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car instead of a 325xi, what a mistake. Horrible initial build quality. Drivers seat squeaks constantly, dealer refuses to acknowledge problem. Every time it snows(which is what I bought the car for)the windshield wipers freeze or the motor locks up and the wipers remain stuck right in the line of vision. I am also experiencing crazy electrical problems, I will turn off the esp and my turn signal will activate and my headlights will shut off. Now there is a re-call for the ignition coil. The Bose stereo is nice, just dont try to listen to it with the sunroof open. I Want My 1999 2.8 Q Back ! What was audi thinking.

  Will Cost You a Ton - 2002 Audi A4
  By pweed8 - September 12 - 5:29 pm

  My A4 was great under warranty, too bad that expired at 50,000 miles. Lately its cost about $600 a month just to keep it running, and Ive only got 90,000 miles on it. Oh and the dealership just told me I needed to replace the timing belt ($1,350) when I took it in to get checked out for the class action suit against Audi. So needless to say I will never buy another Audi agian or ever recommend anyone buy one.

  Whats not so hot - 2002 Audi A4
  By The DUde - January 19 - 2:00 am

  Simply put great car with a few killer flaws! turbo blow-off valve not very good at all (choppy acceleration). ignition coils; alot of a4s are being towed off the road for this little kink that they forgot to think about. and lower gears should ahve lower ratios

  AUDI - Accelerates under demonic influen - 2002 Audi A4
  By Car-Fan - July 2 - 10:00 am

  This car is not for anyone that likes acceleration of the start. The build quality is fine and the interior build quality is fine, but if you like performance this car is not for you

  One of the worst cars I have ever owned - 2002 Audi A4
  By Sunny - June 12 - 6:58 pm

  Loads of electrical gremlins. Spontaneously the alarm used to go off when I first got it. Radio problems, speakers cutting in and out, tweeter still busted. Dealers want $300 to replace a battery, recently paid $475 to diagnose and replace 3 feet of vacuum hose for a check engine light. Brakes were shot in 36,000 miles (my other car was good for 50,000 so it is not my driving) and tires the same. It was fun to drive when I bought it. Should have bought reliability. Maybe mine was just a lemon but I would not shop Audi/VW again.

  disappointed - 2002 Audi A4
  By rich - March 12 - 11:30 am

  The A4 is a nice looking car that doesnt deliver. If you are looking to purchase this car, take the extended warranty and make sure the dealership is close. There are many gremlins that will keep your dash warning lights lit up.

  A4 - the real deal - 2002 Audi A4
  By greenant - July 19 - 2:00 am

  Im disappointed with the 02 A4. The exterior styling is great, but the interior is drab and monotone. Ive had many problems in 6 months. Twice I had it towed to the dealership with igition coil problems. The cruise control and windshield washers also had to be fixed. The engine revs too high, even at low speeds and the car could use a 6th gear. The road noise, vibrations, rattle & squeaks are excessive and the overall build quality of the car doesnt compare to that of my 99 A4. The seats are also narrow and hard. On the plus side, the all-wheel drive is great. The handling is impressive when the car is driven hard on winding backroads.

  Worst Car Ive ever owned! - 2002 Audi A4
  By Bad Audi Experience - February 24 - 1:16 pm

  In my 30+ years of driving, Ive owned Corvairs and AMC products that would be considered "problem cars", but nothing matches the unreliability of an Audi. I purchased both a 2001 and 2002 A4 and have become very familiar with the local wrecker companies. The 2002 is now having its 4th engine installed (after only 50,000 miles). The stereo system has been replaced three times. We traded in the 2001 at a loss after being towed three times for coil issues. Stay away from Audi! This is the worst car Ive ever owned, including the 1964 Corvair I paid $100 for in 1974!
