This has been an amazing vehicle. I purchased it new back in 1996 and it now has over 170,000 miles on it. Granted, I've kept the maintenance on it up to date. Its really paid for itself over this time. The body is all aluminum with thousands of weld spots, so there have never been any squeaks to speak of. The handling in rain is still amazing and outdoes much newer vehicles in poor to bad weather.  My vehicle is a stick so it has plenty of power to get from here to there, but it isn't a lightning bolt. I recently had a variety of dings removed and now it looks just like new. The all wheel Quattro makes it a delight to drive almost anywhere! I wold definitely recommend purchasing an older A4 that's been taken care of, or one with low miles.

Pros — Outstanding quality, handling, and style.
Cons — Back seats are short in space.

Beautiful car, quick, its a sedan sleeper. can keep up with modified cars pretty well. Love the car, rugged, can outrun the cops without worry. Brilliant car. Heated leather seats get the girls...gorgeous interior, luxurious and comfortable.. great over all. handles like a dream, in the snow perfect for doing donuts, good rally offroading, good for road racing a friend. holds up good dispite all the abuse.

Pros — fast, comfortable, luxurious, quattro, handles great, on and off road.
Cons — a little too middle aged in appearance, good for surprising people though.

Another one of my brother's cars.  This one seems to be putting up with the rough justice of being owned by my brother quite well.  

It is 12 years old, so there have been a few items that have needed some work lately - but that's to be expected.

A comfortable car, the A4 was Audi's first successful attempt at cracking the BMW 3 series and Mercedes C Class market.  It was the model that really put Audi on the map and has been the foundation for what is an impressive model line-up.

Audi dispensed with its venerable 5 cylinder and inserted either a new 4 cylinder engine (with turbo option) or the new V6 of either 2.6 or 2.8 litres.  The V6 is a torquey and powerful unit, and when attached to a manual gearbox, makes for exciting performance.

The trim quality is typical VW/Audi - just about faultless.  The interior is made of high quality materials that wear well and look attractive over 10 years on.  Occasional electrical faults are to be expected, as with any German car over 10 years old.

Well equipped in even standard form, the first series A4 is now a relative bargain and servicing costs aren't as crippling as some people will have you believe (especially compared with some Asian manufacturers).

A sensible choice for someone wanting a quality car at a reasonable price - but make sure it's got a full service history.

Pros — Strong, impressive performance. Comfortable and practical.
Cons — Some parts prices high; they don't like to be neglected.

This is the nicest car I've owned both in luxury and personality but overall not very exciting.  Great in all weather and relatively good on gas.

Pros — Nice overall
Cons — Lacking a bit of excitement.

I've had the car for about 4 years and I love the car, it could use more power and torque. But it's a fun car to drive.

Pros — All-wheel drive, cruises nice on the interstate, and it's really tight
Cons — Is a little under powered for the weight.
