General Comments:

Love the way it drives.

In quick turns, it seems to "dig" into the road the faster you go.

Hate the cost of operation.

Hate the lack of dependability.

Hate wondering every day, "What's going to break today?".

Was told by the dealer, I need new motor mounts (at 58,000 miles) they are hydraulic. Replacement costs? Just another $850.00.

Audi America is impossible to reason with. Wrote to BAR to get 1/2 cost of fan replacement returned. They fight you on everything.

So I'm driving on the highway. The oil light comes on. I stop the car and put more oil into it, as the dipstick was broken and I could not check the oil level. I start driving and the light comes on again. I drove the car for about 15 minutes to my mechanic. He said my motor was DEAD!

There was scum blockage in the hose going from oil to the motor. Online it says the Audi A4 is susceptible to this. How is it that an Audi is susceptible to such a huge problem! I was shocked. Now I have to pay to replace a motor in a car I've had for less than 2 years. The car is 2002 and I am the 2nd owner. Why was this car so much money when it is a piece of crap? I had many other cars before and never did I have an engine problem. Wow. I am out of words for this.

Faults:

The car never tells you I am OK, you can drive me.. There is always a problem, with me first was the exhaust leak. Afterwards, malfunction indicator lamp, then the air bag sensor, and last, which is now, both malfunction indicator lamps, then the air bag sensor, and I just got it from the dealer yesterday after they took about 700 dollars for service and maintenance.

General Comments:

Faults:

Fuel pump.

Seat back pocket popped out.

Exhaust weld broke.

3 coil packs.

Wheel bearing.

Coolant sensor.

General Comments:

This is one of the best driving cars I've ever owned. It is truly a pleasure to drive. After the 50,000 mile full service warranty ran out, I have not been back to the dealer for any of the listed repairs required. I do all repairs myself (including the timing belt) just so I can afford to drive this thing. Dealership parts and labor charges are in the stratosphere.

With over a 100K miles, the car still looks great and drives like the day I got it. If you aren't handy with tools, consider another manufacturer since the A4 is otherwise an expensive machine to maintain.

Faults:

The car is a piece of junk.

So far I have replaced brakes, brake pads, an oil sludge engine, oil leak, transmission fluid leak, and check engine light is on always.

Window clickers have worn bad.

Break fluid always needs flushed

General Comments:

The car handles well, other than everything breaks on it.

Faults:

Clutch went out, power steering is a constant problem, A/C went out.

General Comments:

Excellent and fun car to drive, but breaks a lot, and is expensive to keep up with.

Very beautiful and flashy, but, again, not worth all the upkeep.

I'm poor because of this car. But I love it too much to give it up.

It's a love/hate relationship.
