It's an Audi, so it's a great car. It's also turboed too so it's fast.

I love a lot about my car. I love the brand itself and I love the bodystyle and color of it. Just needs some maintenance

Engine seals leak after a certain amount of time.

Started to have an engine leak about a year ago. Mechanic said it is the gasket seals on the motor. Aside from this love that it is super roomy. The leather interior has held up better than any other car I have had.

The Audi A4 Cabriolet is a fun car to drive and comfortable with the top down.

I own a blue Audi A4 Cabriolet with a dark blue convertible top. I love the convertible and take the top down as often as possible. The only drawback is the 1.8l turbo engine. The turbo is a drag to get moving but the handling and pickup after initial startup are good.

Comfortable travel car with good mileage

Has minor issues every now and again but always a quick fix. Cigarette lighter gave out. Gets good mileage for both surface and highways. It's comfortable and spacious, with seat warmers and adjustable lumbar settings that make long trips more comfortable

The Audi a4 2.0t is a sporty little mom car.

I love my car. It is sleek and stylish and looks good to be such an old car. It is 14 years old. That's crazy! The car gets really good gas mileage. I only wish it was more spacious inside. It is a fun little car to drive as well! I had have some recall maintenance issues with the car which has not been fun to deal with. But overall, I really love the car.

Audi A4 convertible - fun yet practical

I love this convertible!! It is a fun car, still looks great after 14 years. People can't believe it is a 14 year old car it gets great gas mileage about 34 to 35 on the highway. 20 in the city. I have had minimal problems with the car requiring repair. I have not had to have anything major replaced. I would buy another Audi A4 or a five

05 A4 is amazing!!! Smoothest and quietest car I have owned!

The 05 Audi is amazing. Super smooth, super quiet. No problems. I do the routine maintenance and I haven't had any problems with this car. Love it!

It is a turbo and I love that it is white and tan on the inside just as I wanted.

The oil and gas is the only thing that gets me the oil light likes to come on like every two weeks and the gas it just uses so much like 10 $ to go back and forth to Cleveland to Chattanooga if it was for me with the oil I wouldn't buy no cheap oil because it will mess up the car and the gas is $3 a gallon so be careful where you go.

It has very low mileage for It's age.

I love the low mileage but it is an older car. The audio is not very good and it is a little too small for me. It is sporty, but not very practical.

Jake L

Jake's a 4, I love the car so much I am hopefully going to be rebuilding it.

The engine blew up on me after owning it for 2 weeks. I purchased the car from my "friend". Other than that the car is clean. The exterior is clean it was his show car so he took care of it.

The summary details the dependability in an Audi. It is great on gas.

The vehicle is nice. It is Very old now. This Audi is a stick manual shift. If you are not familiar with this type of engine it can be difficult to drive. The maintenance is very expensive. The Parts for this vehicle cost more than an American made car. This vehicle is great on gas.

Kee F

Drives and breaks fast, safe, like any luxury type of cars-it can get pricey.

Audi a4 is a great looking car. That can get up to speed, faster than most cars and can stop very quickly. Brakes, being very good on this make/model. Makes it extra safe. Has nice features, on the inside that would make some believe it is a newer model year wise. Has leather seats, that warm up and are great in the winter. Gas mileage is not the best, almost $50 to fill up. & it being a foreign car, if something goes wrong. It potentially can cost more, to get parts, many times needing to get them shipped. & fixing any issue with these cars, seem to be harder for most of the persons working on cars, as the way the car is made-things are not quite the same as many American cars.

Chris K

High cost if maintenance.

Love that it is well built with nice amenities - leather seats, sunroof Hate gas mileage, cost of parts and maintenance

Sm C

Oldie Audi: cosmetic and sensor issues.

Sensors malfunction so the oil, coolant lights come on even if the car is not out of oil or coolant. Parts are expensive. Leather on drivers' seat is worn. Great speed pick up. Good trunk size. Keyless entry key is expensive. Leather door covering in the back seat area peeled off.

This car has been a tight car no rattling like I hear in others.

Really love this car. It is a stick shift, 5 speed. It has all the little details you could ask for even in this old of a model. The only thing I dislike is trying to buy anything for it. For example you have to order even the windshield wipers online and they are not cheap.
