Audi a4; the peak of comfort and enjoyment.
My Audi a4 handles beautifully. The interior is everything you could imagine or desire. Leather heated seats, an amazing stereo system, illuminated buttons, and little bells and whistles that you wouldn't imagine belong in a car. Though repairs can be costly, the vehicles day to day drive will completely make up for it. So far my a4 has been very reliable and one of the most comfortable, fun rides of any car I have ridden in.

Audi a4 convertible:: top is power and completely hidden away when put down.
I love convertible, top is down most of the time in spring, summer and fall as weather permits. Not cold in winter. Has a great heater and heated seats. Gets decent mileage. Looks like new, they do not age. Does not ride like a Lincoln town car, but nothing rides like a Lincoln. Audi is a luxury car without the luxury ride. Does not ride bad, but not great either.

It has over 170k miles but runs perfect.
I love how it is over ten years old but still runs like it is brand new. I have never had any serious problems with this car.

The 2004 Audi A4 Quattro is a machine ready to overcome all obstacles.
I love my car most of all because of its manual, six-speed transmission. Audi models also sport very luxurious and comfortable interiors that I can appreciate. The 1.8 motor is turbocharged making the car tuner friendly which appeals to my car needs.

It's expensive to fix due to the fact that it is a German luxury car.
Love that it is a 6 speed manual transmission. Turbo works amazing! Heated leather interior is great in winter but don't care for it in the summer.
accountCircle Samantha B
They're designed for both performance and safety. Between weight distribution and placement of a full sized spare tire, I rarely worry
I LOVE my Audi. The handling and control while driving is impeccable no matter the weather

Audi cooling system issues.
Audi is a good brand but this particular model has a lot of problems with the cooling system. Had to replace almost all the parts for the system and the parts are no cheap.

I can't think of any besides the fact my Audi drives fast
The biggest problem with my care is that it is a German made car and all the parts for this car are expensive compared to other cars. The fluids for this car are very costly too. I can't tell u this car is reliable my personal Audi is breaking down but someone else's may be an excellent car. My car is reliable enough to get me where I need to go even on its worst days.

It is a reliable car most days.
It is a great car just expensive to fix and cost a lot on gas. I have had it for a little over a year and it is been in the shop off and on.

It runs and still get me to where I need to go. It's paid for
It was inherited by marriage. It's a chick car that had issues. But it is paid for so I will drive until it doesn't go anymore
accountCircle James B
My Audi is very reliable, performs good, and comfortable to drive.
My Audi a4 is very comfortable to drive, the car runs great and always has, have not had many mechanical issues, performance is very good for a 1. 8 turbo, needs more and better cup holders, could use a better radio, the CD player has not worked since I got the car, it has leather interior that is very durable and has no rips or tears, has nice sized trunk that easily fits my golf clubs.
