General Comments:

Great car, I loved it. Quattro is the best I have ever had in the snow, I want it back!

Maintenance expenses were higher then a typical car, but I knew that from my research. If you're willing to spend a little more on the car in order to have an amazing car, this is the one for you.

Also, insurance was high for me, being young.

2.8L had lots of power (not many options for upgrading it, but I didn't want to). Car is decently quick for being so heavy with the quattro system.

Overall I loved this car, got a great price for selling it so no complaints... just moving to a bigger vehicle.

Faults:

Wheel bearing at 89,000 miles. door trim on drivers door.

I love this car, I've been driving it for all these years and when I drive other newer cars I wonder why few can compair. It does everything I need. In the snow it goes unlike any car I've owned. My BMW was worthless in bad weather, the A4 blows it away in every respect. I changed my timing belt myself, about to do it a second time. The water pump too.

Faults:

My timing belt blew while driving at 105 kilometers per hour on a busy highway, while only 2/3rds of the way to the recommended change mileage. The engine was essentially ruined.

Nice looking car, handled well, looked great... until it almost killed me.

Well, basically right after I got my car, the transmission went left me sitting at a toll booth on the turnpike.

Next I noticed oil was leaking, no big deal, I fixed it.

Next, and still happening today, my car was and still is spitting out antifreeze out of the reservoir. I have had two different caps on it and numerous seals, nothing worked. Went to the dealerships and asked them, they don't know. Thinking having the 80,000 mile service done will fix it, well I was wrong. The car was in the shop for about 4 to 5 weeks, and it is stilling spitting out antifreeze.

General Comments:

I just can't believe that a car company like Audi would have these kind of problems. I guess I was wrong. The car is really nice - if it would work properly, I would love to buy another Audi, but as of now, I don't want anything to do with it.

Basically, excuse my language, but right now I am really annoyed, this car is a piece of crap!!
