1995 Audi A4 review from Australia and New Zealand

Key reader was broken when I bought it at 121,000km - AU$460 to fix

Left CV joint started to make noises at 130,000km - AU$800 to fix

Oil pressure switch broke and put oil everywhere - AU$400 to fix & clean (AU$30 for the part, rest for labour)

Fixed at the Audi dealer.

This is an excellent car, value for money. People have complemented me on this car, and it looks a lot newer and more expensive than it really is.

The car handles really well, isn't too bad on petrol 11L/100km, is comfortable to drive in, looks great (especially with 18" RS4 rims) and overall build quality is superb. It drives smoothly over the horribly bumpy roads around my house at high speeds.

I started getting this car serviced at a cheaper generic European car place, but their jobs were some what dodgy, and used low quality parts, thus had to be serviced more frequently than just going to the Audi dealer. At the end I just ended up going to the dealer as they had excellent service.

I've added in an Alpine iDA-X100, with 6 stacker MP3/CD and bluetooth module, matches the interior decor better than the stock standard radio it came with, especially with the all red lighting (AU$1000 all up from ebay).

For remote locking, added in a Votex remote locking kit, which was around AU$300, this plugs straight into the central locking pump and closes all windows when locked, unlike cheap generic kits around.

The only real problem I had with this car, was that it got vandalised when I parked in Adelaide, some one jumped all over the car causing AU$9500 worth of damage, and the insurance company called it a write off.

My next car will definitely be another Audi A4.
