This Year's Model Updates:

The entire Audi lineup receives a new 4-year/50,000-mile limited warranty and no-charge scheduled maintenance, a 12-year limited warranty against corrosion perforation, and 24-hour roadside assistance for four years. All A4s are now equipped with head protection airbags, have lengthier oil change intervals and an optional Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP). The 1.8T engine gets a horsepower boost from 150 to a racy 170 and meets ULEV standards.

Pros:
  • Available quattro all-wheel drive, powerful 1.8T motor, attractive exterior styling.
Cons:
  • Confusing dash layout, not much rear legroom, quattro version can feel lethargic.

  • Service center wait times - 2001 Audi A4
    By -

    Although I love my car I would not recommend it to anyone. Last month my window regulator shattered and stuck in the down position. Columbia SC service wouldnt see me for 2 weeks - had to travel 2 x the distance to Charlotte where it took 3 separate trips to fix problem - over a month to fix a window so it would roll up and down also left tape residue ruining tint job. Great car - Bad service

  • Best buy I ever made - 2001 Audi A4
    By -

    I got the car in July 2001 and have not had any problems with it. Features I got are manual transmission, Bose sound system, sports package, winter package and leather interior. Everything was well worth it. Only car I know where the doors all open 90 degrees. How many cars do you know with a FULL-SIZE spare tire just in case and 8 (count em, 8!) airbags? Fun to drive in summer and winter. Only regret is that I could not get an S4 Avant!!! BMW owners just dont know what they are missing.

    I bought this car a week ago and 1 day later the radio buttons went out, a headlight wire was loose and the cupholder needed to be replaced because it stuck. The radio was also replaced. I wonder what is next and am afraid to take it on a long trip for fear something will stop working.

  • so far so good - 2001 Audi A4

    I am a guy who keeps his cars for over 10 years if possible, I was concerned that the Audi would not hold up. It is a bit early to say, but it is going well so far. I will have to replace the tires as there is a slow leak and I had to change the CD player (at no cost) but otherwise all is well. The car seems to be somewhat noiser that it use to be. I hope it holds up for a another 8 years !!! Eric

  • A4 #2 and I love it! - 2001 Audi A4

    I had a 1996 manual A4 Quattro,sold it to my brother and bought the 2001 automatic with triptronic. I love these cars! Once you sit in one and drive, you are spoiled for life!

  • Buyer Beware - 2001 Audi A4
    By -

    Ive only owned the car for a few months and have had it die on me twice. All 2001 Audis have faulty engine coils, mine have broken twice already and supposedely have now all been replaced with new non-faulty coils. In the process a tow truck ripped off my front spoiler and I fought with them for over two moths for replacement compensation. My dealership was unsympathetic and useless. I bought the car based on reliability and customer service, I have found both to be completely lacking and unsatisfactory. Never buy an Audi without the original warranty remaining. Instead, go buy a Lexus or Acura, thats what Ill be doing next.

  • Best Car Ive Ever Owned - 2001 Audi A4
    By -

    My previous car was a Mercedes, and Ive owned about twenty other cars in my lifetime, and this is the best , so far. Im a designer, and love the clean design. With the Quattro AWD system, the car corners like it is on rails -- wet or dry. But the quality of materials and workmanship is what really sets this car apart from others -- and it was a lot less expensive than my Mercedes. I will buy another Audi.

  • 2001 Audi A4 1.8 Turbo: My Supercar - 2001 Audi A4
    By -

    This is the best looking Audi to come out of Ingolstadt. I still have a great looking and very reliable 85 Audi Coupe GT and so I decided on getting another Audi with the latest technology. The Xenon HID headlights are amazing in how well they light up the road ahead as well as to the sides. I get outstanding mileage on the highway (33mpg) yet the motor feels very strong and tight. The seats could offer a bit more thigh support and arent as plush as in my old Audi but its still a comfortable ride. The only problem I experienced was the drivers airbag warning light repeatedly coming on despite dealer resets. The fix was a new airbag installed for free .

  • Very great vehicle for the price. - 2001 Audi A4
    By -

    First of all I would like to say that this car rocks. Its the best german car that anyone can get there hands on for under 30k. The performance is amazing and so is the comfort and the ride. And man is it fun to ride. The 5 speed is very fun and the car is surpriseling fast for the amount of horses it has. But than again, I cant complain since I bought the vehicle for 25.5K. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who is looking for an entry level sports luxury sedan.

  • love it - 2001 Audi A4
    By -

    The car has been very reliable, and I have had no major problems. It handles great it is fun to drive on twisty roads, and is good in snow as well. Power is very good considering actual displacement of engine, but it isnt as torquey as say a Volkswagen VR6 or a BMW inline 6. Mileage is good -- I get 28 mpg on the highway going 80 mph. Very nice looking inside and out.
