2003 Audi A4 Quattro review from North America
"Best sport sedan for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this car.
General comments?
It is difficult to see out of this car. The belt line is high, the windows on the smaller side, and the mirrors are small.
The fuel mileage is not great. We get about 20 miles per gallon.
Performance and handling are awesome. It handles better than our previous BMW. Winter driving on snow and ice is unbelievably good. Because of the Audi's sophisticated Quattro system, we can out accelerate four wheel drive sport utility vehicles. The electronic stability program is also unbelievably good at stabilizing the car under poor traction conditions. The sport pack has very little ride penalty, but is a great bonus in handling.
The motor could use a bit more torque.
The 6 speed manual shifts flawlessly.
The exterior and interior of this car are very classy without being over-done.
