  Very Nice Car! - 1999 Audi A4
  By Shane Stamper - January 13 - 12:02 am

  I recently bought a 99 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro and I seriously am happy with this buy. Its the fastest, most comfortable car I have ever been in. Its very reliable so far and I hope it stays that way for awhile. The features in it are outstanding for a 99 car and I just love it. I do not regret buying it one bit. The best part is that its my first car and I completely own it!

  1999 1.8T Avant - 208,000 Miles - 1999 Audi A4
  By interactive3 - October 9 - 8:51 pm

  Built in October 1998 and purchased in April 1999. This car came with the sport steering wheel and beautiful cloth seats. I added mud guards to help protect the exterior. The interior materials are very good. Ive had no issues with the engine. Its unstoppable. It has the original clutch, still going after millions of shits. Theres no body rust. The bad: The 99 Avants did have some front suspension issues. They were mostly covered under warranty. The rear wheel bearings need to be changed pretty frequently. The side airbags had problems too, but theyre easy to replace.

  Solid little car - 1999 Audi A4
  By b5 obsessor - October 24 - 2:00 am

  So after my Saab 9000 died, I got my little Audi, and I have been loving itt since. Ive put a couple of thousand miles on it, and I love it. Quattro has actually saved my life, and the car is definitely one of the most solid feeling cars that Ive ever been in. I love how this car has attracted a cult of modders, if I ever need anything, I just go on the forums and do the diy, the 1.8t is vital, and the automatic just kills the whole experience because turbo+manual+quattro= some slightly illegal amazingness.

  1999 Audi A4 2.8 AWD - 1999 Audi A4
  By alex - August 10 - 5:35 pm

  The 1999 audi has really been one of the best cars i have ever owned and i have owned a lot in the past. The reliability of it has been very good i got it with 116,000 on it and it now has 153,000 with only one little problem in the middle of the mileage. It was a valve cover gasket, just leaking a little bit of oil, not a big deal replaced it myself in just under a hour. otherwise havent had any other problems. the 1999 audi is a great car for someone who cares about cars and knows how to maintain a car.

  Quattro! - 1999 Audi A4
  By raudi - July 18 - 2:18 pm

  This car handles like no other car I have driven in my life. The Audi grips and grips, and that more than makes up for the lack of power from the 1.8t. I have more confidence in the handling and the solidity of the Audi. The only thing that Ive had to replace is a window regulator on my car. It cost 250, but that was reasonable.

  Just keep up with maintenance. easy - 1999 Audi A4
  By NetoLopez - May 29 - 12:48 pm

  I bought this car about a year ago, since then Ive only needed to replace the timing belt. no mayor problems the only things that have been replaced are parts that any other car replacement is needed. i do most of the work myself. the Quattro system is awesome all year round also the turbo is strong (just check you oil on every gas fill up) this German car is built to last. at 160 HP i keep up with cars that have 20 HP or 30 Hp more then me, i do not recommend the A4 to people who dont know about cars. I dont think i want to sell it.

  Not for Poseurs - 1999 Audi A4
  By Chris - April 6 - 2:26 pm

  Our Audi A4 Quattro WAGON 2.8 V6 5spd was very hard to find! It has front AND side impact airbags. It’s not a turbo (no sludge problems!) It was before dual exhaust, so it has a SINGLE muffler! It’s the later 1999 production with the newer (better) style dash and elipsoloid headlights. Mine is the simplest/best A4 to own. With a good mechanic who doesn’t rip you off, you’ll have the suspension fully sorted and many trouble-free miles. The build quality on these cars is incredible – we’ve hit 130K with no drama and never roadside breakdown. Am now parting with it (Vermont – thanks – ask Craig to see the listing) only saying goodbye to “Shanta” because we’re moving overseas.

  By Aaron - March 30 - 8:18 pm

  The 1999 audi a4 2.8 wagon is on of the best cars i have ever owned it has 147,000 on it without a single problem. The Quattro goes throw just about anything and that 2.8 has a lot of power at higher rpm but down low is not bad. I do all my own servicing i run amsoil in it and it seems to like that the best. Mileage is just ok could be better.

  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).

  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."
