2007 Audi A4 2.0T review from North America
"Awesome car, but not for everyone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So Far nothing, been great.
General comments?
This has been my second A4 due to the great experience I had with my used 2004 1.8T. For those looking to buy used a car like this is a risk and there is no doubting it. These cars aren't for everyone, they are for those who understand the requirements of operating a car properly and who love what a car like this can offer. If you do buy used, I don't recommend the 1.8T because of the turbo and is more susceptible to previous owner butchering. I am constantly hearing how people are putting 87 octane in a car that was designed to run on 91, and\or using conventional oil when it has been running on synthetic. Doing something like that (as insignificant as it may sound) is destructive to the engine. Stick with the V6 and make sure it is thoroughly checked out. Keep up with the maintenance on the car, and change your oil frequently.
If you like to neglect your car, stay away from any German, especially this one.
The driving dynamics are magical on the 2007, as it feels lighter on it's feet and more nimble. This car truly drives great and is recommended to anyone when new. Can;t wait for the A5.
