  2001 Audi A4 Quattro 2.8 - 2001 Audi A4
  By Steve - July 23 - 5:51 pm

  First of all, I can safely say that I still would have made the purchase back in October 2000, knowing what I know now. The only major disappointment in this vehicle has been the mileage. It has averaged probably less than 20 MPG (I mostly drive city), and even a fuel tank with 100% freeway miles is probably only averaging 25 or 26 MPG, which isnt great. Still, thats a minor quibble. The engine has been a complete dream. No problems whatsoever. the only glitches on the vehicle have been a leaking washer fluid gasket on the high pressure headlights, a broken elastic piece on the glovebox door, and a loose door handle on the drivers side. Thats it - in over 5 years. Ill buy again.

  Love Hate Relationship - 2001 Audi A4
  By Jprep2004 - July 20 - 4:24 pm

  I just thought I would put my two cents in with the rest of the Audi owners having troubles. My engine blew out in the middle of Kansas 1 year after buying it used (32000 and Audi certified). The oil is a big problem. After that, I have no confidence in the car - its been back for some minor stuff, but everytime it hiccups or idles funny I get shivers. Now that Im at 70k and the car is worth 9k or 10k, the repairs are not worth it. Im waiting on the new BMW 3 series Coupe. Its a shame. I love driving the car when it works and was looking to mod it, but no way will I put more money into a car I cant trust.

  60000 Mile failure - 2001 Audi A4
  By SBrown - May 23 - 11:46 am

  I love the driving experience of the A4. The handling is phenomenal and the comfort is excellent. Not to mention the heads that turn when Im going down the road. The only issue was that after 2 months the engine failed and has to be replaced. It had only 60,000 miles on it. I would not wish a 1.8T engine on my worst enemy. Nor would I ever puchase another Audi.

  A Good Car, A Strong Car, A Good Choice - 2001 Audi A4
  By eeeveee - April 19 - 10:00 am

  A petite car with the power of a bulldozer. Its a car to drive when you want to pass another going uphill, downhill, and, any other way you need to drive safely and quickly; To feel it grip the road on icy, waterey, snowy roads youll immediately be thankful for selecting a car with AWD- its an awesome feel of safety, comfort and security.

  Handles Like a Champ - 2001 Audi A4
  By 1.8T Man - March 7 - 10:00 am

  This car handles like a champ. There is no system in the world better than the Quattro all wheel drive. I cant ger over the power and capability in the rain. The car could use a little more power. But with a chip, it makes it MOVE.

  Fun to drive and practical - 2001 Audi A4
  By Christian - February 6 - 9:50 pm

  This is one of the rare fun to drive and practical cars out there. The extra cargo capacity comes in handy when its time to go to the mountain with the kids...

  Great fun fast and slow - 2001 Audi A4
  By pdholz - September 12 - 4:57 pm

  Fun to drive, fast or slow. Great highway car for two, cramped for four. Superb handling, with minimal understeer at limit (with sport suspension). Excellent fuel mileage if you keep your foot out of the turbo (26-27 consistently, 30 on highway). Great interior design, plenty of room in front for large folks (Im 63"), though small back seats. Make SURE you use synthetic oil, or change oil frequently. Ive had this car since new, so these arent first impressions.

  Im a Broker - 2001 Audi A4
  By andylarz - August 4 - 8:36 pm

  I am a wholesale auto broker so I have my pick of vehicles. And this is the BEST car I have ever owned!!! I got the car with 38k miles and in the last 14 months have put 43k miles on it, without a single non-routine trip to the shop. The interior styling cant be matched and although I have heard some bad things about the 1.8t my 2.8 V6 is as solid as an engine gets!!! The whole powertrain is solid and the AWD is a dream come true, I live in Salt Lake City and Im a skier so I make good use of the AWD. However, even on dry pavement you can tell the difference that the AWD makes in handling, performance and SAFETY !!! This car is as smooth and refined as they get, I LOVE IT !!!!!!

  Too many problems - 2001 Audi A4
  By sean - July 22 - 2:30 pm

  Bought my 2001 A4 2.8 Quattro last year as a cert. pre-owned. Had to replace the CD player within the first week of having the car. Since then Ive gone through 2 more CD players. The electrical system is faulty and just recently I had to replace all the tie-rods which, last year, Audi deemed not covered in the warranty...Thanks Audi. Ive dropped over $1500 on top of payments this year on the car. Having to put premium in it is killing me because it only gets 21 mpg, especially when gas prices are $2.50+. Save your time and money. Go get something else.

  I love this car - 2001 Audi A4
  By C.Smith - July 14 - 8:26 pm

  I absolutely love my A4. It had two recalls but after that its been my cruise machine. My only gripe is that it uses Premium gas and that is getting expensive since I have a leadfoot. I love being able to acelerate and drive in the mountains with all wheel drive and a tiptronic system. THIS car is zoom zoom.
