2002 Audi A4 Quattro review from North America
"I want my money back!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Buttons have worn.
Water pump broke at 70k (cost 1,000) to repair.
Had to replace timing belt.
Had to replace O2 sensor twice.
Brakes expensive to replace.
Sunroof malfunctions.
Both Catalytic Converters need to be replaced.
General comments?
I have driven this car for less than 2,000 miles and have already had to spend well over $2,000 on repairs.
I would never purchase an Audi again.
From now I'm going back to Japanese cars-- reliable and cheap.
This car still has relatively low mileage, these problems should not be happening.
On the plus side, it is comfortable to drive and handles beautifully on the highway.
But repairs are costly and often and gas is expensive!
The car gets about 20 miles/ gal.
