Audi introduces the 1.8T Avant wagon to its lineup, while other A4 models gain standard equipment and new options.

• Torque-laden turbo four is a hoot to rev hard. Comfortable interior, great handling, stellar design, optional all-wheel drive and optional Tiptronic automanual transmission are pluses.

  Awesome car - 1999 Audi A4
  By jona - April 15 - 10:00 am

  Poor mans BMW. Every single person that has been in this car said they would buy it instead of a BMW. Drive it in wet weather and there is no comparison - you cant even tell its raining this thing sticks to the ground so well. No sway around corners and it handles very confidently. Anyway, everyone and their brother is driving a 3-series (here in San Francisco).

  Run, Dont Walk - 1999 Audi A4
  By al - March 29 - 4:17 pm

  RUN, dont walk away from this car. 154,000 miles over 10 years have not been easy. Started needing heavy repairs right after the extended warranty ran out, at 60K. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong, to the tune of $15,000 in repairs over the life of the car. Even the seats wore out. Audi software does not work on the computers many foreign car repair places have. Many places cant even do oil changes. All repairs are expensive and then something else crops up. Audis are NOT for anyone who needs a reliable car and doesnt know much about how they run.

  Never by an Audi again - 1999 Audi A4
  By Steve - December 27 - 10:06 am

  This car was reliable for the first 5 years but since then it has been nothing but a money pit. It has broken down at the side of the road several times and every time its at least a $700 dollar visit to the garage. The interior quality is bad. Cup holder broke, hatchback interior paneling broke. The engine is underpowered. Like many AWD cars, it goes through tires quickly. It is just not a well built car.

  Wont change it for the world - 1999 Audi A4
  By Andre - June 5 - 9:30 pm

  I bought her at 95000 miles and so far in almost 3 years Ive put about 30000 miles on it. Just changed the timing belt a few months ago. This is a good thing to do when you go over 100000 miles. Of course Ive had some problems with the abs module, and control arms that seem to be the common issues with this car. Most of the repairs to the suspension, brakes or rotors can be done by the home mechanic since the car is so well thought and with a set of wrenches you can do a lot. Also look for aftermarket parts since the ones from the dealer have some outrageous prices. Like somebody said "You have to pay to play."

  Excellent car, but may feel a bit small, especially in the back seat. For driving and a sense of security and control - none better. Couldnt beat it on snow and ice (I came out of a SAAB, thought that one was good before getting into the AUDI. Dealership very good incl service

  Amazing and Costly - 1999 Audi A4
  By KScrib - March 16 - 5:35 pm

  The 1999 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro sedan is a great great car. Ive never owned a car that is so much fun to drive. It is everything anyone would want. Its comfortable, fast, sporty, luxury, and capable. Its an all around great car and I will always own an Audi. The two draw backs are poor fuel economy and premium fuel only. This is a huge expense and maintenance is really expensive. It is well worth the price. The car is now 8 year old with 110,000 miles and shows no rust, no signs of getting old, and runs like a champ. I tell my friends its a 99 and they say it looks brand new. Great car. A++

  Fun to drive - 1999 Audi A4

  Our Avant is a great car. Its fun to drive and the styling is great. We have had our share of mechanical issues but it still beats driving the less than inspiring others.

  Take care of it & itll take care of you - 1999 Audi A4
  By JP - September 14 - 6:15 pm

  Bought my 1999 A4 2.8 manual shift used with 28,000 miles on it and have loved it every step of the way to its current 110,000 miles and counting. Ride has remained firm and car is solid and tight. I highly recomend the larger engine to the smaller engine with turbo, otherwise youre just going to be too underpowered and frustrated. It is important to remember though, that this is a german car not japanese and does require a certain degree of regular maintenance, which Ive found to be $800 a year on average, all in, to keep things in top condition. Id definitely buy another Audi!

  My A4 is great - 1999 Audi A4
  By prm - May 31 - 5:50 pm

  A very fun car to drive in the city and on the highway. Fun in the mountains as well. Great performance, enjoyed the tiptronic. The suspension performs very well. Enjoyed the 1.8T engine, good power.
