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

  Maintain it and it will run excellent - 2001 Audi A4
  By nvaudi - May 5 - 1:11 pm

  I purchased a 2001 1.8 avant from the original owner who maintained it very well. I have all the prior service records and I keep mine. As long as you maintain this vehicle it will run very well or you. If you want to abuse it then buy a toyota or some other tin can like vehicle. Yes a sube wrx is faster but the doors clink when you shut them as they are no where need as solid as an audi. I have owed several subes and 2 audis an A6 and this A4 (116,00 and counting). I have had maintenance that I have had to take to the shop and some I do myself. Sube copied the awd system. Those who provide poor reviews did not maintain their vehicle properly.

  Great car!! - 2001 Audi A4
  By bustamove2000 - April 13 - 11:13 am

  I bought this car in November of last year and have had it for about six months, other than routine maintenance and fixing the simple stuff it runs great and gets great mileage. Every time i read these reviews i get angry because people complain about how much it cost to do simple repairs on the car and hows theirs engine sludge, One do routine oil changes like you should and you would not have this problem, two if the problem is a simple fix Do It Yourself the car is surprisingly easy to work on for a audi turbo charged vehicle, never take the car to audi to get it fixed they will make you pay a arm and a leg. and lastly my car has 180000 miles on it and runs like new.

  Great while it lasted - 2001 Audi A4
  By Will - September 24 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this car used, and had it for 7 months (15,000 miles) before it was totaled in an accident. The car was a lot of fun to drive, and IÂ’m definitely going to miss it. It handled pretty, and had good acceleration. The fuel mileage was much better than I expected it to be. It was very comfortable on both short, and long drives. The trunk had plenty of room for luggage, and hauling. Like any used car it had some issues including a new MAF sensor, and a rear wheel bearing needing to be replaced in the first two months of ownership. Once those issues were sorted out the car was great. IÂ’m leaning towards a newer A4 to replace this one.

  Glenns Audi Review - 2001 Audi A4
  By Glenn Zanotti - November 20 - 10:00 am

  This is the best car I have ever owned. I used to own a Mercedes C230 Komprssor, and liked it, but this A$ I like even more. The dealer has been outstanding, as well. I would highly recommend an Audi to anyone.

  A perfect blend of sport and luxury - 2001 Audi A4
  By Audi Fan x3 - January 6 - 5:42 pm

  I have owned my A4 for seven-plus years. Like any German car, service isnt inexpensive, but the key is keeping up with regular maintenance. My car just hit 100k miles and it still makes me smile when I turn the key. No major issues. Lots of fun to drive. The quattro AWD system is a dream in snow. I have owned three Audis (2000 A6 Avant 1997 Cabriolet this A4) and I loved them all.

  I like it. - 2001 Audi A4
  By davking - November 27 - 10:00 am

  The car is fun to drive on mountain roads for me and nice to drive to church for my wife. As she says, it just goes right along. The interior is beautiful and apparently well put together. But it creaks more than our 1987 Acura Integra did.

  LOVE MY CAR - 2001 Audi A4
  By merz4 - September 2 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car over a year ago. I usually tire of things quickly, but I still LOVE this car. The engine is great, instruments and accessories are great quality, and it handles like a dream. I have the quattro suspension, and my husband and I tried to make it spin out in a gravel parking lot and in rain. It wouldnt budge off the road. Made it through the whole winter without a single slide or fishtail. I feel very safe in this car. This car has quality written all over it.

  Great Car! - 2001 Audi A4
  By Ben - August 16 - 7:38 pm

  I get about 25 mpg altogether, which isnt bad. I love the feeling of acceleration you get when you step on it in second or third, as well as the nice whistling whoosh from the engine at about 3,000 rpm.Seats are comfortable, climate control is superb, and despite many other Audi owners, I have had no problems with this car, aside from a bent rim and an intake leak.

  Its no Honda or Toyota - 2001 Audi A4
  By snoweater - April 30 - 3:54 pm

  Bought the car with 56k miles on it with warranty. I knew what I was getting myself into. But it was totally worth it! When the time comes it will be hard to let go. Warranty more than paid for itself. Keep critical elements maintained and the car drives itself. Namely timing belt/tensioner and oil changes. I dont have much sympathy for those who buy a German car and then are shocked when all they do is change the oil every 10k miles and expect nothing to go wrong. Go buy a Honda or Toyota and have fun driving around in your tin can! Its a drivers car, therefore it does deserve some much needed attention. Be ready to replace control arms, ignition coils, wheel bearings, t-belt.
