2004 Audi Allroad Quattro User Reviews

Never Had An Issue With It, And After Five Years, It Still Looks And Runs Great. — I've averaged about 8000 miles per year for the last 5 years on my 2004 allroad, mainly highway, and I have not experienced a single problem with it. I have taken it in for regular servicing and I suppose that helps, but this car pretty much has hummed along since the day I drove it off the dealer lot. I remember aging 10 years that day--never in my life did I think I'd ever own a "station wagon", but since Audi didn't make an SUV back then, this was going to be it unless I went with the usual and boring MB, BMW or Lexus versions of the SUV. Five years on, everytime I approach the car, I still think that it's the best looking station wagon in the market, and while that may not be saying much, there is some consolation to be gathered there. When it's cleaned up inside and out, you really get a sense for how well fitted-out the car is. It has zip when you want it, and while that turbo lag is there, it's nowhere near as bad as some people make it out to be. More than a sedan, better than an SUV, not quite a Porsche--to this day I can't figure out why Audi stopped making this car. After 5 years, I'm tempted to look at a new car, but I just don't have any reason to give this one up.

Primary Use: Family transportation

Family Truckster — Great car, Pick Up, SUV, Family Truckster. This car pretty much does it all. For a 2.7 liter V6, the car has get up and go. There is some Turbo lag, but it's manageable. This car has no blind spots, it's like driving in a greenhouse. Luxurious interior. Beware, this is a systems heavy car, and if it has been abused, you could have issues with the suspension and turbo's. Very easy to make lot's of HP with. Flash the ECM with the Euro program, and the car goes from 250 HP to 315 HP! It's great to see the look on the Mustang GT pilots faces, when they get smoked by a Station Wagon...Oops, I mean an Avant. This is not your father's Station Wagon. Mileage could be better, but it's a small engine in a good sized car.

Who Needs An Suv — With the bi (twin) turbo V6 the take off this thing has is great. Then if you through in the fact that it's a station wagon it becomes almost mind blowing. Lets face it it's a station wagon so it isn't cool but then again don't people buy SUV so they can seem cool when all they really need is a station wagon. As Jeremy Clarkson said "when you buy a station wagon you are saying to the world I have fulfilled my biological purpose and I'm now going to turn slowly beige" well with the styling and looks of this car maybe your not turning beige after all.

Best Snow Handling Car Ever Driven — Best snow handling car ever driven Sure footed, predictive traction and great handling in adverse conditions. Sorry mine also has a little extra HP with twin\bi-turbos...All four wheels can burn on take-off when traction control disabled -- vroommmvroomm !!! Pros: hydraulic high control, extra HP, 7 seater Cons: not many, conservative design
