2004 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro review from North America
"Nice looking, but very cranky car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not very good on fuel economy, eats tires, breakpads.
Clutch shakes when starts on first gear. Burns oil.
General comments?
Overall is very comfy, real German handling, great look.
Would keep it after lease expires, but read mixed owners' reviews. It could start falling apart. Average time in service - once in 2 months. Very BAD Audi North America customer service - typical European.
