2000 Audi A4 review from North America
"Great handling, shifting, acceleration. Five stars across the board, except repair costs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My ABS computer went out. Dealer fixed it even though I had the car for about 2 months.
My oxygen sensor went out, and a ball joint and a tire blew, but that was thanks to Michigan's potholes in the winter. Nothing to do with the car.
Oh, and had two exhaust leaks, nothing major though. Just some flex couplers that were old.
General comments?
Great car overall. Acceleration is smooth, and shifting is buttery smooth for a manual.
Handling is superb and the ride is very smooth and quiet.
It's a beautiful car, but any sort of maintenance is expensive. Cost for parts are about double or sometimes more what you would pay for your average American car.
