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.

Solid, sporty, and fun to tinker with - 2001 Audi A4
By catchme - October 26 - 1:00 amBought this car brand new, and now have about 33k miles. No major problems a few burnt out headlights, the ashtray is stuck, and coffee stickiness has made the cupholder stick sometimes. Replaced the stock goodyears at 27k with sticky Yokohamas and "chipped" the ECU with Neuspeed at 24k for 30 more horsepower. Other enhancements include a K&N air filter. Got a check engine light due to busted vacuum hose, and noisy cam tensioner, but all replaced under warranty. Car is noisier now, rattles, etc. but still solid. Plan to keep for a few more years.

My Audi A4 - 2002 Audi A4
By beeminbobby - October 24 - 10:00 amSo far this car has been a pleasure to drive. It is fast and lively, especially while in the manual shift mode. The multitronic transmission is sluggish in the automatic shift mode, so having the ability to shift manually saves the day. It is virtually impossible to turn the wheels on Quattro versions, which is good. The sport suspension is taut (perhaps harsh to some) and responsive. Cabin noise is muted. Controls are well placed and the red and white illumination is gorgeous. The leather is top-notch, as is the fit and finish of both the interior and exterior. Audi makes just about the finest interiors Ive ever seen. This is one fine German machine!

Totally Unsatisfied - 2002 Audi A4
By Brian Gibbons - October 19 - 2:00 amWhen I purchased this car for 39,000.00 I thought I was buying a reliable car. I quickly learned that this car is anything but reliable. Thus far the blinkers went out, the windshield wiper blades broke, the sterio died, the coolent hoses were leaking the starting coils went out and the entire dash board system failed so the car read 140 mph all the time. Now my check engine light came on last night and the car was in for service 1000 miles ago. I am now looking to trade my car in on a much more reliable car like a Honda Accord.

underpowered but nice - 2002 Audi A4
By slo poke - October 19 - 2:00 amLove the way this car tracks, but Im not satisfied with the power. There are very few cars that are slower off the line. This car needs about 40-50 more horsepower to be competitive. Low end torque is also weak.

Avant - 2002 Audi A4
By Hankdoll - October 17 - 10:00 amWas skeptical about buying a first model year car. Additionally, our last 1999 A4 was plagued with mechanical issues. However, Audi service is excellent and made up for our troubles. We took the plunge and bought this car anyway (for a wagon, its gorgeous). 6000 miles thus far with no problems. Car is much better all around than previous model. Very happy with purchase.

Probably wont buy another one... - 1998 Audi A4
By cgray88 - October 15 - 2:00 amFor about 2 years, it was by far the BEST used car I ever owned... Then I hit 60,000 miles... Since then the car was in the shop every other week. My brakes gave out, tie rods were shot, 4 tires had to be replaced, ignition coil replaced, headlights replaced twice, speaker blew, cd player stopped working, fuel pump went out, trunk stopped opening, alternator kicked it, and the AC compressor died. Finally, I decided to give up and sell it, and literally the day before, the timing belt broke. It has now been at the dealer for 2 months, as of yesterday. All told, approx. $8800 for repairs since 60,000 miles (and I never did get the AC fixed). Bah.
