Overview & Reviews

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.

  MISTAKE - 1999 Audi A4
  By mnels - February 20 - 9:09 pm

  This is a terrible car. Do not do it. I sold my Lincoln hoping the AWD would help me out in the winter and I sold the car within 2 months of having it. My clutch was bad, the back axles were screechy (500 fix), wiring for blinker was bad (200 fix), the CD player didnt work right, the tape player ate tapes, the cigerrete lighter wouldnt open(I couldnt charge my phone or gps) one of the rear windows wouldnt roll up or down, the display screen was broken, the bumper began to fall off after 2 weeks, the buttons were coming off on the key fob.. AWFUL

  Beware of Engine Oil Sludge problems - 1999 Audi A4
  By KLEE - February 4 - 10:24 am

  Bought this car new from the dealer in 1999 and did regular oil changes with the dealership. Just last month .. oil pressure light goes on and discovered that the engine developed a major Sludge problem .... cost $5,000 to fix ...beware! If the dealship knew about this problem they should have suggested to change to synthetic oil and do more regular oil changes ... Terribly disappointed with Audi !!!

  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.

  Get out your wallet, this car is junk - 1999 Audi A4
  By ShamusFu - January 18 - 12:33 pm

  You would have to be INSANE to buy an Audi A4. I drive mine 12,000 miles per year TOPS and have done $3,000 worth of repairs with less than 60,000 miles on it. Ive had bad wheel bearings, timing belt (which will destroy the engine if it ever breaks), water pump, radiator hoses, mass airflow sensor, and now the thermostat. The dealer charges $400 to replace the THERMOSTAT!!! (a $30 part). Even in peak operating condition, this car would get killed by a Honda Civic in a drag race, and gets lousy gas mileage. Do not be fooled by the Audi badge, these are Volkswagens in disguide, except the maintenance is twice as expensive. Get a Lexus.
