Overview & Reviews
Audi's entry-level sedan and wagon are all new for 2002. Along with a redesigned body structure and new sheet metal, the new A4 receives a variety of changes to make it sportier. It is motivated by either a 170-horsepower 1.8-liter turbocharged four or a completely new 3.0-liter 220-horsepower V6, which can be mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Making its debut this year for non-quattro models is a continuously variable transmission (CVT), also known as multitronic. An in-dash six-disc CD changer and a dual-zone auto climate control top the standard features list.
- Available all-wheel drive, powerful engines, sharp handling.
- Prices shoot up with options.

Excellent car - 2002 Audi A4
By Sasa - November 23 - 1:58 pm02 audi a4 1.8t quattro manual speed. I owned it for a very long time and now has 225000 miles on it with still original head gasket, starter, turbo, alternator. No engine leaks and performs fantastic. No issue on shifting or anything else. Just a regular maintenance. AMS oil every 4000 miles, and 93 octane and it goes. I love it. Always Audi owner.

Love my red a4 3.0 quattro - 2002 Audi A4
By Andy Wessels - February 25 - 11:39 amGreat car, super fun to drive. Plenty of torque at normal rpm range and lots of grip around the corners! Front seats are plush and comfy although rear seating is tight. Car is equipped with power everything mirrors, sunfoof, windows, seats, etc... This cars grip, power, and planted feel blew my mind when I first test drove it. Before i had a 2001 passat 2.8, and this thing just runs circles around that. Great car that i would recommend.

Typical Euro car with high maintenance requirements - 2002 Audi A4
By baldya4 - October 22 - 2:50 pmIve owned the car since new with 220K miles. It has never been to the dealer or private mechanic except for the initial free maint and the few minor recalls. However, that is not to say it has not had its share of anomalies. Three timing belts, 3 water pumps, 3 batteries, One fuel pump, too many coil packs to count, one temp sensor, two valve cover gaskets and one thermostat. All this may sound horrible and it probably would be if I had no mechanical aptitude or desire to do my own repairs. The car is actually easy to work on. Very modular in the way things come apart. Information is readily available on the Net. Ive kept this car because the 1.8T engine block is bullet proof.

The Audi A4 V6 3.0 Are Made for Speed Period - 2002 Audi A4
By 1sikaudi - June 2 - 2:32 pmThis car is a serious driving machine. It is not meant to be garaged or driven on Sundays to church. Much worse driven leisurely. This car is a monster and I did nothing to the engine. The only thing I added was a K & N filter to replace the factory one which in effect added another 15 hp simply because of the additional air coming in. From the moment you turn the car on you can hear the engine which to me was like music to my ears. I drove this car to the limit and had more than enough fun doing it. If I had to put it in 6th gear I was over a 100MPH easily. The highway drive was phenomenal. Man what a car. I bought it with 30k and trade it at 102k. Perfect in every sense of the word.

Like the other reviews - 2002 Audi A4
By elewsader - December 17 - 7:33 pmMuch like the other reviews, this car was fabulous from an interior fit and finish perspective, but something was always breaking and it was always costly I had wiper linkage seize up which was over $300, H.I.D light (dipped headlight) which was $300, and many more. It seemed like everything that had an issue it was $300 or more. There were also odd electrical gremlins with the radio and sunroof (sunroof was blamed on a potentiometer, and the radio was blamed on lithium grease in the door connectors). I got great gas mileage on this car but overall its a great car if you can afford the pricey repairs. - 1.8t six speed automatic, fwd model

Disappointed - 2002 Audi A4
By COdriver - September 24 - 2:00 amThis thing is a money pit. Cant believe how much it costs to fix every little thing. Have had the car almost 4 years now & I cant take it any more. If you happen to be looking at one of these things, stay away.

Too many expensive repairs - 2002 Audi A4
By TWally - June 10 - 2:45 pmThe 2002 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro was fun to drive and great in the snow but the repairs killed the bank! They were so expensive and something was always going wrong with the car. I wouldnt suggest buying one or any Audi for that matter unless you are willing to put thousands into the car! Buyer beware!

So Long, Audi - 2002 Audi A4
By Im Gonna Miss Her.. - January 29 - 3:20 pmBought this car almost two years ago from an Audi dealership. Sadly, the engine has failed due to the infamous oil sludge build-up issue in the 1.8T engine. Car was always maintained at Audi dealer. The car is beautiful...but it will be moving on to greener pastures with someone who would like to put a new engine in it. Timing belt also had to be replaced, ignition coils, etc. Too many recalls for "Truth in Engineering", Audi.

Great Car - 2002 Audi A4
By flyboy - January 3 - 3:32 pmI get up to 36 mpg on the Interstate at 70, average 27 total including around town, uses no oil between 5000 mile changes, BE SURE to use synthetic and change it as the turbo is hard on oil, change the CVT every 50K, everything works like brand new on this car, no wind leaks, no rattles, no rust, no squeaks. Change the timing belt every 100K, brakes last 50K plus, has original shocks and they are still good.
