Pros: Stylish, German, great to drive! Unpretentious but sweet!
Cons: 6 cyl engine is a gas guzzler. Cup holders are a joke.
The Bottom Line: The 2.8 is a gas guzzler, but a great ride at a fabulous price, used. A great German luxury car without the pretentiousness of the Mercedes or BMW.
Once upon a time... I needed a new car. When I started shopping for one, I was hell bent on getting a Saab convertible. Having driven a convertible for the past 4 years, I was convinced that a sunroof wasn't going to do it. My husband had ...

Pros: All wheel, loaded with options, decent on gas. Fun to drive.
Cons: Expensive to keep up, not as comfy on longer drives as the A6 is.
The Bottom Line: Comfort fact based on my wife, as I am above average length and size.
I have what they call a 1999.5 A4. Basically it has about all the upgrades the 2000 model has. I als ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: beautiful styling, outstanding quattro handling, bargain sport package, low entry price
Cons: slow acceleration, painful rear cabin space
Audi's A4 has been a runaway bestseller, catapulting Audi sales to previously unknown heights and with good reason. The new Audi A4 abolished any of my previous suspicions about Audi and is not only a great machine, but also a great value. It was...

Pros: Styling, Interior Luxury
Cons: Ride, Handling, No Power
We didn't buy this car. It ranked 4th on our list of 4 European sedans we tested.
The Audi A4 is one nice-looking automobile. Too bad that's about its only strong point. The 150-hp turbo four was simply sluggish when saddled with Audi's...

Pros: Smart styling, handsome interior, fit and finish, smooth power, great handling, all-weather capability
Cons: Small back seat
To fully appreciate the Audi A4 Models, I think you need to turn an eye to Audi's history in the US first. Audi's story in America is truly one of rags to riches....more rags...and back to riches again.
Once an upstart small entry into the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Command of road in highway conditions, V6 engine, beguiling/flirtatious nature
Cons: Critical shifting, Throttle lag, drive-train lash, black leather interior, marginal seats
The Bottom Line: Clearly worthy of consideration. Highly dependent on your requirements. Never a boring car!
I have owned my 99.5 A4 2.8L Quattro for about 6 months. Purchased with 80k miles, I think it has just about every option except the Bose stereo and Sport seats. These include power everything, leather, sunroof, etc., plus cold weather package, sport su ...

Pros: Handling, handling, handling, beautiful styling inside and out.
Cons: Cramped back seats, so-so audio with cassette instead of CD.
Maybe the best way to sum up my lust for my '99 A4/1.8T/Quattro (manual) is to tell you that I personally know two BMW owners, a Porsche owner and a Passat owner who lust after my Audi A4 as much as I do. (Why didn't they just buy one in the first...

Pros: Quattro all-wheel-drive, high-quality interior, sporty but gorgeous exterior, high coolness factor
Cons: Cramped rear seat.
After about four months of intense shopping I recently purchased a '99.5 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro, with the Tiptronic transmission. The purchase isn't all that unusual, except that for 3 1/2 months of shopping, I looked only at used BMW 3-series cars, model...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great styling, excellent mechanical performance, Quattro AWD
Cons: poor sound system, smallish back seats
First of all, I am biased. I love this car. I looked at a few others in this category, namely the BMW 328i, and the Lexus GS400.
The A4 comes with two available engine sizes and trim options. The 1.8T is the less expensive of the two, while...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Looks great, Drives great, is more comfortable than a lazy boy
Cons: Low steering wheel in sport version
I always have, and probably always will deem myself a car enthusiast. For this reason I hope you can take my opinion on the Audi A4 to heart. I am a true believer in subtle beauty, and by no means does the A4 fall short of this characteristic. Audi...

Pros: Nice styling, good entry level pricing
Cons: A few craftsmanship issues
I do like my Audi very much...however, after owning 5 Hondas from the Civic to the Prelude, I have to say that the Audi isn't as wonderful as everyone professes. I have a 1999 Audi 1.8T A4, without Quattro. Key benefits include:
* Great price...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: fun to drive, reliable, thoughtful design
Cons: rear seat leg room, passenger seat controls, no rear windshield wiper, various other minor nits
The A4 strikes a nice balance between comfort/luxury features and sporty handling. It's very fun to drive, has good pickup and braking, and is very well made. One of the things that appealed to me immediately when I first got in the car was how solid...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good family wagon that also is a great driving experience
Cons: None- except options do not include single indash CD player. Must opt for remote 6 CD changer.
With two boys (7 & 9) our family needed an all purpose "family car" for the everyday drive to work for my wife and the shuttling of the boys she & I share. The Subaru wagon had over 90,000 miles of hard mileage and recently...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: practicality, sophistication, and sports car agility
Cons: pedals too close together
From first glance the legendary all-wheel drive Quattro sedan has a simple elegance and carefully refined shape that's pleasing to the eye. The shape is not as distinctive as the big brothers A6 and A8, but nonetheless still exudes European sports...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Comfortable, inexpensive, performs well.
Cons: Slightly cramped.
Audi's current A4 model is a great car. While slightly smaller than its sisters (The A6, S6, A8, and S8), the A4 is less expensive and nearly as high quality. The A4 quattro (four wheel drive) is also a great buy, yet it is several thousand dollars more...
