Overview & Reviews

The entire Audi lineup receives a new 4-year/50,000-mile limited warranty and no-charge scheduled maintenance, a 12-year limited warranty against corrosion perforation, and 24-hour roadside assistance for four years. All A4s are now equipped with head protection airbags, have lengthier oil change intervals and an optional Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP). The 1.8T engine gets a horsepower boost from 150 to a racy 170 and meets ULEV standards.

• Available quattro all-wheel drive, powerful 1.8T motor, attractive exterior styling.

• Confusing dash layout, not much rear legroom, quattro version can feel lethargic.

  2001 A4 1.8T FWD - 2001 Audi A4
  By asb149 - May 2 - 2:00 am

  Great car...only wish I had held out for the new body style in 2002. The only problem I have had in the 3 years since I bought it new (knock on wood) was a reoccurring blown front door- speaker. I do not regret not buying the quattro as I do not live in snow- country.

  Great car for 2 years!!! - 2001 Audi A4
  By Jane Smith - March 22 - 2:00 am

  For the first 2yrs it was great. Then 3 enigine coils went bad, gas sensor,temperature gague, the cam seal has a oil leak that the dealership fixed 3 times, the instrument panel went bad as well. I would not recomend this car to anyone. It is not reliable!

  I love the car overall. The transmission went out at 4000 miles. Slow off the line.

  Good, if not great... - 2001 Audi A4
  By AreEmm - February 16 - 2:00 am

  Ive done a variety of driving in this car, (city, highway, long trips), and its always performed nicely. Its fun to drive, feels rock solid, will go through almost anything with Quattro, responds nicely to all driver input and looks great. I wish it got better gas mileage and the interior was more comfortable. The armrest sucks, the cup holders blow, the automatic climate control system is on drugs half the time and the seats are less than luxurious. All that aside, (and those are some minor gripes), i think its a great car. Speaking of minor, the backseat is a joke, but what do i care, i sit up front!

  Unreliable - 2001 Audi A4
  By AudiArt - November 19 - 2:00 am

  Great handling, but it breaks down and the dealers cant fix it or get parts. Or, they fix it incorrectly and it has to be towed back.

  bet your life on it - 2001 Audi A4
  By Carey B. - November 11 - 2:00 am

  Let me start by saying that I was in a head-on collision just 2 weeks ago and my 2001 A4 performed just as it should have, safely. It is an incredibly solid and safe automobile. All the minor complaints (lame cupholder and small back-seat) I once had about the car have receded into the past. To be able to walk away from a bad accident is the best testament anyone can give for a car.

  Solid, sporty, and fun to tinker with - 2001 Audi A4
  By catchme - October 26 - 1:00 am

  Bought 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.

  not so overwhelmed - 2001 Audi A4
  By shidinger - September 11 - 10:00 am

  I think part of the problem is that i had built this car up in my head during the 4 month period i was waiting to receive delivery of it. the 1.8t, although peppy required a chip to satisfy me. my older vr6 put a much bigger grin on my face. other than that. the car has really loosed up quite a bit. which is very disappointing for a $32,000 car with all the tricks and german engineering.

  Service center wait times - 2001 Audi A4
  By scollier11 - July 24 - 2:00 am

  Although I love my car I would not recommend it to anyone. Last month my window regulator shattered and stuck in the down position. Columbia SC service wouldnt see me for 2 weeks - had to travel 2 x the distance to Charlotte where it took 3 separate trips to fix problem - over a month to fix a window so it would roll up and down also left tape residue ruining tint job. Great car - Bad service

  By snookyanne - June 30 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car a week ago and 1 day later the radio buttons went out, a headlight wire was loose and the cupholder needed to be replaced because it stuck. The radio was also replaced. I wonder what is next and am afraid to take it on a long trip for fear something will stop working.
