This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Available all-wheel drive, powerful engines, sharp handling.
Cons:
  • Prices shoot up with options.

  • Beware - 2002 Audi A4
    By -

    After one year the car is back to the shop about once a month. Once it was in the shop for a minor fender bender and the shop still cant get it fixed after 4 trips and trust me it was a minor accident. I have been taking it to a dealer in Charleston, WV. The support and repair for the car sucks. The dealer even offered to trade the car and then offered me $14,000 less for the car than I payed for it after only one year. Dont contact Audi with complaints they dont have any power or desire to deal with their dealerships. On my way home from having a light bulb changed the whole taillight fell out and all Audi could say is they would document it.

  • Stunning - 2002 Audi A4

    The current A4, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful cars on the road. Its a head turner, it is one of a few cars that really stands out from the rest. It is also a blast to drive, the V6 engine performs well and sounds great when driving it hard. The Quattro AWD system gives this car a tremendous amount of road holding grip, which is great for bad weather or having a bit if fun.

  • Not Bad, Could be Better - 2002 Audi A4
    By -

    I have a fairly loaded 2002 A4 3.0 quattro with 5-speed Tiptronic: sport, luxury, Cold weather, xenons. All-in-all this has been a satisfactory car. Fit and finish was excellent. I have had a few niggling issues: horns had to be replaced at 20,000 mi (horns, whatever?!), power steering fluid mysteriously disappears (once, only). The Tiptronic could be a little smoother on the upshift, especially in low gears. Acceleration is a little weak, even for an automatic.

  • Great Car - 2002 Audi A4

    If you are looking at comparable cars such as the BMW 3 the Audi A4 gives you more for your dollar and performs just as well if not better .

  • Very solid, nice, fast and good looking - 2002 Audi A4

    Everything is very close to perfect except of climate control. Probably bad placed temp sensors inside car. Everything else is just great. I love not-cheap-plastic stylish interior. Handling is one of the best. Sport package is awesome. Great value for money.

  • Fabulous Car! - 2002 Audi A4
    By -

    Ive had a BMW and a Miata before buying my A4 Quattro w/Manual transmission. Ive had it a year now and have not had ONE problem! The build quality is superb, the car handles like a dream and theres more than enough power w/the 1.8 Turbo. This is a superb, well-engineered super-safe (got the addl airbags in backseat) car. Audi service is terrific. Were pleased as punch! :)

  • Possibly expected too much? - 2002 Audi A4
    By -

    The ride is sweet and the engine sound is like impeccable. I luv it except for a few things: 1. i would rather the tiptronic controls on the steering wheel be for audio instead. I think we all would change the track, volume, or station more often than when we use the tip. 2. Pwrseats should be standard on an entry-lux car like this. 3. The garage-door openers should still work even withOUT the key in the ignition. 4. The windshield washer tank had a crack in it and the car is barely 8 months old. These are just small quips, cuz this car still turns heads everytime im driving it and i can still keep up with most of the ppl in the street.

  • Quattro. Love it and love my car. - 2002 Audi A4
    By -

    I bought this car after looking at a new 325, a used M3, and a Lexus IS300. Ive put 16,000 miles on this car and the only issues Ive had came from the coil-pack problem that seemed to plague some of the 2002s. Both times, the dealer did whatever they could to get the car fixed. Besides that, this car has been a blast to drive! It looks and drives great! The 1.8T could use a little more low- end power, but I love the great gas mileage I get (avg. 29.5/mpg). By far, the best car Ive owned. I would like a little more power, but I guess Ill have to save up and place an order for the new S4.

  • Loved BMWs but Audi WON it now - 2002 Audi A4
    By -

    The car has been all and more than I expected. Looked at BMW 330xi, Jag X and Volvo V 60. Narowed to Audi and BMW ended with Audi. Chose over the BMW because of price and got sick of the show off name and past experience of owning BMWs (cost and reliability durring and after waranty). Free maintenace (inludes all Brakes, Wipers etc.) that BMW did not have.

  • Beautiful, with a few hiccups - 2002 Audi A4
    By -

    Bought this car for my wife, who LOVES it. I love the styling, superb interior quality, versatility of the wagon. Problems include the well-known coilpack failure which completely disabled the car requiring flatbed towing to the dealership after 7,000 miles. Not what I would expect in a car of this caliber. Now we are hesitant to take this practically brand new car on extended road trips because we are worried about breaking down. Because of short supply, the dealership will not replace all of the coilpacks under warranty, only if they fail (and leave you stranded!) Rims have been a headache (see Suggested Improvements, below)
