Overview & Reviews
The Audi A4 holds the distinction of having single-handedly revived the Audi brand. Launched in the mid-'90s, the compact A4 quickly became a favorite among luxury car buyers thanks to its beautifully finished cabin, sharp handling and available Quattro all-wheel drive. Although the A4 has offered these core characteristics from day one, it has become increasingly polished and high-tech with each successive generation. No matter which year you're looking at, the A4 promises both engaging performance and suave style inside and out.
The sedan body style has been a constant for the Audi A4, but depending on the vintage, you may also find wagon and convertible variants. Turbocharged four-cylinder power is typically found under the hood, yielding both reasonably spirited acceleration and satisfactory fuel economy. In road tests, we've consistently praised the A4's refined character, with more recent plaudits going to its spacious backseat, which has adequate room for full-size adults.

Dont Do It - As Much As You May Want To - 1999 Audi A4
By Kansas Joe - July 20 - 11:57 pmI love how this car drives. And the body style still holds up even though it is six years old. The handling, power and quality of the interior design are all pluses. But the lack of mechanical reliability is a huge negative. Ive spent over $6,000 in repairs since purchasing this car just over 3 years ago. Repairs include - new oxygen sensors, water pump/timeing belt, ABS control module, brake rotors, etc. Ive had it - and will be selling this car soon.

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

The 2002 Audi A4 1.8T quattro - A winner - 2002 Audi A4
By vpandya - July 19 - 2:00 amHave had a wonderful time with this car. Looks like a beauty (inside, out), is immensly fun to drive and is pretty well priced for its class - its tough to find a well engineered all-wheel-drive sporty sedan with great interiors for around $30,000 Have had the car for over a year now - with absolutely no mechanical problems so far. The only time I needed to take it to the dealer was for its 10,000 mile check-up - which incidentally was completely free and covered under the standard maintenance plan

Almost there - 2003 Audi A4
By ks - July 19 - 2:00 amGot the 1.8QTip over the BMW 325xi. While I prefer the BMW design, I think that the Audi is classy and it grows on you. Quattro handling is unbelievable here in snowy New England. Its a solid car at a fair pricetag. Front seats are very comfortable, controls are where they should be. Fine city car.

Is it just me? Or is it my A4? - 2004 Audi A4
By Winnietfor2 - July 18 - 6:19 pmLongtime lover of the Audi series. Friends all swore by A4s. I finally leased one in 2004. At first I was pleased, coming off of many high end japanese vehicle leases, but I have now been in the shop with a lot of little issues. Started out with drivers power window not closing. Then water leaks in dashboard window which led to freezing ice in winter on the INSIDE. (blamed on water drains clogged?!) Window broken again. Now a/c doesnt work and transmission not shifting properly on hills. Anyone else have these issues or just me? I love my car and Im saddened by all the time it spends in the shop.

Can not wait to sell this car. - 2013 Audi A4
By Danaehamma@gmail.com - July 18 - 1:50 pmI bought this car brand new in 2013 and Ive had issues ever since. The car is obviously a very low profile car and I live in New England so I went through 6 Pirelli tires before I finally put all weather continental tires on the car. The car does not drive as smoothly now but at least I have not gotten any bubbles in the tires or cracked any rims since purchasing the continentals. There have been multiple recalls for the heating system, air bags, electronic, etc. that have required repairs. The check engine light came on around 30,000 miles and required multiple valves to be replaced. The dealership claimed they were "faulty" but gave no explanation as to what or why. Then, at 41,000 the car DIED on the highway due to transmission failure. I had to have the vehicle towed in the middle of the night to the dealership. The ENTIRE transmission needs to be replaced. Again, the only explanation is that it was "faulty" and they are unsure what exactly went wrong. Thankfully the car is still under warranty, but this does not make me feel any better. There is no reason there should be this many issues and "faulty" parts on a car this new. I will definitely be selling this car in the Spring and have NO intention of buying another Audi. Every car has its issues, but given the amount I have had with this car in a short period of time with NO real explanation of the problems from the dealership, leads me to believe Audis are not as reliable as the price tag would suggest.

Cant go wrong with an audi - 2002 Audi A4
By Mike Dejohn - July 17 - 8:43 pmThis vehicle is the perfect car to drive. I havent had any real problems with this car. I dont think Im gonna have any either. This is my second audi and the first one gave me about 140,000 miles and was willing to give me more but I decided that I wanted newer. The 3.0 liter engine is fast and strong. The style of the car inside and out are great and the quattro system is always a great add on. Nothing I can say bad about this car.

Warranty Work - 2003 Audi A4
By pgb - July 16 - 12:54 amMy A4 has been a wonderful car, but the Audi dealerships I have contacted in my area will not do warranty or regular maintenance work on my car unless I sign an agreement to binding arbitration. I refused to sign away my right, and I was refused service. Customer Relations at Audi of America said they couldnt do anything about it. The consumer is not made aware of this "condition" until after they bought their car. Also- The only place a person can buy windshield wipers is at the Audi dealership for 50 dollars a pair. Ask before you buy!

I love this car - 2001 Audi A4
By C.Smith - July 14 - 8:26 pmI absolutely love my A4. It had two recalls but after that its been my cruise machine. My only gripe is that it uses Premium gas and that is getting expensive since I have a leadfoot. I love being able to acelerate and drive in the mountains with all wheel drive and a tiptronic system. THIS car is zoom zoom.
