Beautiful, luxurious, and highly refined, but not much fun to drive

by mkaresh mkaresh is a Lead on Epinions in Cars & Motorsports, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10
Oct 03 '02 - Updated Jun 22 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Styling, luxury, quality of interior materials, chassis stability
Cons: Midrange power, not that fun to drive, ride quality with sport suspension
The Bottom Line: Recommended as a stylish luxury sedan, but not as a sport sedan for those who prioritize driving enjoyment. The Sport Package kills the ride more than it helps the handling.

The things we do for our families. A year ago my sister was looking for a car. I took her to look at the Audi A4. Now, I was personally most interested in the A4 with the V6 and a manual transmission. But I put my sister’s needs ahead of my own. She ...

Costs more than just the payments for this one

by vwbeje07
Sep 24 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Looks, style, gadgets, safety equipment
Cons: engine layout, vibrations, back seat space
The Bottom Line: Worth a serious look, maybe the v6 is better with reliability though?

So as I was moving up in the job world, I got a higher paying job, and decided that I should get a new car. I went car shopping at dover vw, which I have always bought my cars from there, and saw a 2003 beige audi a4 with dark tinted windows. It looked ...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Quattro system!
Cons: Steering feel.
The Bottom Line: It is a pricey car in Korea, but I'd recommend it a buy.

I'm just going to write about the driving dynamics of this car as other reviews have covered other aspects of this car quite nicely. My car is A4 Quattro 3.0 Tiptronic with steering wheel mounted shift buttons. It has the sports suspension pack and 17 ...

More Perfect Than Anything Else!

Oct 10 '02 - Updated Jan 13 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Alluring style, perfect fit-and-finish, stellar performance, very good price.
Cons: I can't live in it.
The Bottom Line: Avant-Garde Ultimate Delightful Impeccable Auspicious 4 Those of us who want more!

This Audi, just like every other I’ve ever driven or owned, does absolutely nothing wrong, looks better than almost everything I’ve ever parked it next to and is a hoot to drive. I am just disappointed that this new iteration didn’t...

A Quality Sport Sedan with an Elephant on its Back

by czturn
Sep 05 '03 - Updated Sep 18 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Fantastic interior quality and design, generous standard features, German feel, nice handling with sport package.
Cons: 220 horses plus 3,700 lbs does not a sport sedan make.
The Bottom Line: The excellent looks and interior design of this car prevented it from being rated just average.

I recently drove the 2003 Audi A4 Quattro 3.0 with a silver exterior, black leather interior and Tiptronic Transmission. The car also had the sport and every other available option package. Simply stated, it was as loaded as they come. To begin with, ...

Better than everything else at the price.

Sep 27 '04 - Updated Sep 28 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: quattro, audio, interior quality. Full size spare.
Cons: Cup holders. Armrest. Mirror memory system. Responsiveness. Rear seat space.
The Bottom Line: I like it because it has all the features I wanted in a very nice package. However, if Camry or Lexus ES330 had AWD, I would've bought those instead.

I wanted to get a new AWD car to replace my 1997 Camry. If Toyota made Camrys with AWD, I would have bought that, but they don't, so I searched, with my preschool aged kids in tow. Looked at the Subaru Outback V6 VDC. I didn't like the way the door ...

Well worth the money.

by mikeshardware
May 15 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Styling. Ride good for trips. Gas mileage (24 ). Stereo is above average.
Cons: Driver seat. Rear seats. Adequate power expected more... cup holders.
The Bottom Line: Great car. 4 year 50,000 mileage bumper to bumper. Dealership treats you like a millionaire. I will most likely only buy an Audi from now on.

We got the A4 1.8T Avant (wagon). Right off the bat you know this is no race car. It does okay getting on the freeway and keeping up with traffic but this is a heavy car with a 4 banger turbo and if you think for one second that you're going to go...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Very beautiful automobile, well designed and luxurious.
Cons: Restricted interior and CD player only available as an option.
The Bottom Line: The Audi A4 is a very affordable and luxurious automobile.

Audi A4 sedan 2003

Audi Ups the Ante.

The Audi A4 is certainly one of the most popular model this manufacturer produces and to keep ahead of the competition in this class, Audi has made some improvements for the year 2003 models....

Take one for a test drive, and you'll like it.

by leonbev
Dec 21 '02 - Updated Jun 25 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Built well, lots of neat gadgets, quick and fun to drive.
Cons: Cramped cockpit, seats are kind of hard, poor post-sales customer service from Audi.
The Bottom Line: Give the Audi A4 a try, especially if you're looking at a BMW 3-series. You can get the power and features of a 330, for the price of a 325.

I recently traded in my Mercury Cougar for an Audi A4 3.0 Quattro, because I wanted a more reliable car that handled well in bad weather. So far, it seems that I've chosen well. While I was comparison-shopping, I also test drove the BMW 325xi and the ...

Just say no to the BMW 325...

by dpvwia
Apr 24 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Ride quality, power, quattro option, styling, quality workmanship
Cons: Transmission shift points, cup holders
The Bottom Line: I would recommend the A4 3.0 to anyone looking for a $35000 sport luxury sedan. Dollar for dollar unbeatable.

Bottom line: dollar for dollar, the Audi A4 is hard to beat in its class. For the same price, you can get either a stripped, under-powered 325 with vinyl 'leatherette' seats without power, or you can get a well-equipped A4 3.0.

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: handling/quattro, engine, classy interior, comfortable seats
Cons: ignition key placement, cramped for drivers, tranny shift points
The Bottom Line: great small sports sedan, not for 6 footers

the engine is very peppy. you will not be disapointed there; however, whoever programs the shift points needs to be fired. there is a sport mode, but you have to drop it into the standard drive setting b/c for some reason in sport mode 5th gear isn't ...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: looks great, overall quality car
Cons: struggles when loaded
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car. You just need to adjust your driving habits a little.

First impressions of this car are that it looks great, especially in silver. To my eyes it is one of the best looking estates on the market, oops sorry, manufacturers don't like using that term, too many negative connotations, lets just say that this...

by ymy72579
Apr 12 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Euro-Luxuary Interior, Electronic vehicle montoring system
Cons: Car starts to break down after the warranty, Power, Maintenance Cost, cost of replacement parts.
The Bottom Line: If you want to purchase FWD, get VW Passet. more feature that costs $10,000 less.

my03 A4 1.8T FWD currently have 76,000 miles, it was purchased around $31,000. We had to take the vehicle back to the dealer couple times. ignition coil pack caused problems: misfiring, suddenly car turns off and unsteadly idle. When the car was first ...

Up north European Sedan

by sdeldonno
Dec 27 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Beautiful styling, quality fit and finish, comfortable seats. Quattro rocks!
Cons: 6 cyl engine is too expensive, a little pricey to insure, back seat smallish.
The Bottom Line: This is actually a review on a 2003 Audi A4 1.8 turbo.

Those of us in the northern tier of states don't typically get to enjoy the driving characteristics of a Mercedes-Benz or BMW due to the rear wheel drive setup. With the all wheel drive Quattro system, this awesome car can go anywhere! Combined with...

Audi A4 SE 2 litre

by davidjwkeith
Jun 02 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: better interior than BMW and MERC.Variable service a bonus
Cons: cupholder little else
The Bottom Line: Quality car - a million times better than any US motor I have driven. Feels like new despite many miles - buy the best one you can afford.

I have had this car for 18 months and travelled almost 30,000 miles. It goes well at 110 mph along German Autobahn, but above this you feel you are pushing it a bit too much. Fuel economy can be almost 40miles per gallon (UK) when driving at 55mph. The...
