Overview & Reviews

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.

• Available all-wheel drive, powerful engines, sharp handling.

• Prices shoot up with options.

  VAG Got it right - 2002 Audi A4
  By dvdude - February 14 - 10:00 am

  I had a 99 Passat GLX that I bought used but I think the car had been abused, had plenty of intermittent electrical problems and annoying stuff like that but I loved to drive it. I stepped up to the A4, mainly because of better build quality. The car is a drivers dream. The attention to detail is stunning. Even though I took a loss to jump out of the Passat, I feel its worth it.

  small gripes with reliability - 2002 Audi A4
  By Werner - January 2 - 10:00 am

  If this car had the reliability of Lexus (which by the way most German cars dont), then it would be that much better. At about 5k miles, I have had to bring the car in for minor electrical glitches, not uncommon for European cars. Other than that, this car is a dream, puts a smile on my face. The sport package gives a slightly harsh ride but handles potholes and bumps rather firmly if not well.

  So far so good - 2002 Audi A4
  By Mattias_Jonnson - January 2 - 10:00 am

  My expectation was average for this car as I had the past generation one. After 3000 miles, notice this car is a great improvement over last. This car is very well built. Transmission is a little notchy but will loosen up over time. Very sure footed on snow and on asphalt.

  As close as perfection gets... - 2002 Audi A4
  By PetesA4 - January 2 - 10:00 am

  Before I bought this car, the hype was everywhere in magazines and other published car editorials. I took my 2000 Audi A4 for a service one day, and decided to walk around the showroom to see what the new A4, a Car and Driver 10Best car, is all about. Needless to say, I had the service department stop any work they were doing on my 2000 A4 as I decided to just purchase the 02 A4. I know there are other cars that are faster linearly, but the A4s V6 CVT was smooth. You have to get used to the gearless transmission, but this thing taps 60 mph in 6.8 seconds. You couldnt do better in a manual. On top of that, interior is top notch.
