1999 Audi A4 Preview summaryImage

Last year, the A4 introduced a wagon to go along with its sedans, the 2.8-liter, 190-hp V6 Avant. Feeling left out, in 1999 the 1.8 Turbo A4 gets its own Avant, maxing out at a not-too-shabby 150 hp. Both sedans and wagons also are available as a quattro AWD version as well, and all Audi A4s come standard with ABS brakes, traction control, power windows and locks, cruise control, and leather-trimmed steering wheel and shifter. Since you'll spend a lot of money on the solid-performing Audi in the first place, Audi figures it should treat its owners right on the inside.

Somewhere out there a coffee-scalded commuter is thanking Audi for redesigning its notoriously shoddy cupholders, known for spilling at the slightest step on the gas pedal. Yes, one of the big changes in the 1999 Audi A4 is new cupholders. Also new in the 1999 Audi A4 is a larger passenger side mirror. Whether choosing a wagon or sedan, what you know you'll get with Audi is not only a luxury interior, but expert handling and smooth ride. The quattro AWD, when paired with the firmer supension and tuning of the Sport Package, arms you for battle against the elements, giving drivers full confidence on the road.

The quattro and five-speed manual transmission are big hits with owners, as are the responsive handling and traction of the 1999 A4. Good trunk room, especially with the wagons, is also praised by moms and dads everywhere. Aside from the never-ending complaints about expensive repairs, owners also dislike the A4's reliability and frequent visits to the shop. Some have reported problems with the brakes. The seats, particularly in the back, are not comfortable for long trips. And, sorry Audi, but owners say the cupholders are still badly placed.

What can i say? I love my Audi. The power and speed on such a small car as this one is amazing. Need a quick acceleration when turning or just to simply beat that guy next to you at a red light who thinks his car is so "cool"? Well that's no problem for this little A4. The braking is absolutely phenomenal as well, as it could stop on a dime, if needed. The handling is great! Turning, curves, hills, they all feel the same as there's no need to over-turn the steering wheel to do so. The gas mileage could be a tiny bit better, but it's not something that is over the top. Whoever owned the car before me must have neglected it like crazy as i have had to do a lot of repairs on it. It's not the car's fault, though. Even then, i did not go over $600 fixing EVERYTHING that was wrong with it. A quick tip, if you're going to take it to an Audi dealer to have it fixed, don't complain about maintenance prices. Do your research, ask around, get quotes, there are plenty of tiny independent Audi mechanics who charge you next to nothing to do the same, if not a better job than a dealer's mechanic. Ever since then, the car has behaved and been of perfect reliability to me. Another quick tip, don't buy this car if you're not too big on keeping up with regular maintenance stuff. If you neglect it, like any other car, it will start acting up on you. Seats are very comfortable and the heat seats feel so nice on my butt when it's freezing outside! Oh yeah, and the quality of everything inside, as well as out, is superb! Great job Audi, like always! The only con i have on this beauty, is that it isn't too big on family space in the back. Enough to fit kids comfortably, or friends if you're a young adult like me, but not comfortable enough to fit 5 adults.Jul 30, 2013
