Overview & Reviews

The 2.8 sedan gets a valve job resulting in 18 more horsepower and additional torque. Side-impact airbags are standard, as is traction control. Opt for the automatic and you'll get the same Tiptronic technology that allows Biff to manually shift Buffy's 911 Cabriolet. A new station wagon called Avant debuts, while the A4 1.8T gets new wheels, a sport package and an ambient temperature gauge. New colors and stereo improvements round out the changes for 1998.

• Gutsy new V6 engine. Comfortable interior. Great handling. Stellar design. Optional all-wheel drive. Optional Tiptronic automanual transmission.

• Small back seat. Useless cupholders.

  Make Sure You Have a Replacment Car - 1998 Audi A4
  By Live & Learn - March 21 - 2:00 am

  Least reliable car I have ever owned. Most expensive to repair car I have ever owned. Broken timing belt cost me over 6K to repair and it was 3 months at the dealer before I saw it again. Headlight switch goes out twice a year...every year. Front end is too low to the ground, gets pulled off by parking blocks. Bad weld on engine needed repair. Water pump, fan clutch, electric fan, ball joints, window washer pump, among repairs I can recall.

  Great value. Exceptional exterior and interior styling. Superb handling with adequate performance. Reliability not in keeping with design and technology.

  Fun to Drive Sedan - 1998 Audi A4
  By dkowalew - June 17 - 2:00 am

  Weve had this car for 5.5 years and its been great to us. Fun to drive, great in the snow and ice we get in the north, and very rich in the interior department.

  Best car owned - 1998 Audi A4
  By audis4nut - March 23 - 2:00 am

  Have almost 100k miles and car is as tight as the day I bought it. Not as much as 1 problem with the car. Cruises easily at 85 mph, yet handles the turns with ease. Quality of materials used is A1, and the car is a beauty to look at, still get compliments after 2 years of owning it.

  junk - 1998 Audi A4
  By doctorrocket9 - January 11 - 8:46 am

  We bought a pretty pearl white 1.8T with sport package. Two weeks after the warranty expired, the dealer said we needed new brakes, tires, and rear ball bearings, total bill $3000. The car needed endless work during the warranty, but at least we didnt have to pay for it. This was our second and final Audi, both with extensive problems lasting and very high repair costs. Now we drive Hondas.

  Youll love driving this car - 1998 Audi A4
  By compcond - July 11 - 10:00 am

  Back to the dealer for service... lots of it. Mine was purchased new and has 48,000 miles on it. Ive replaced the computer, catalytic converter, cam tensioner seals, 5 instrument panels, 3 batteries, coolant reservoir, coolant temperature sensor, fuel guage sending unit, stereo, 2 speakers, and the alternator. Over $4,000 in billable repairs since the 3 year warranty ran out not including maintenance items.

  Good - 1998 Audi A4
  By jonas - September 20 - 2:00 am

  The a4 is a great all around car and excellant in the snow but the 1.8T engine is lacking a little though you can easily get that bumped up to 200 or so by a chip. This car has very few flaws but i have had alot of trouble changing out the sound system. Try to find a bose equppied model to save you time. This is a car i would highly recommend
