General comments?
This is one of the best driving cars I've ever owned. It is truly a pleasure to drive. After the 50,000 mile full service warranty ran out, I have not been back to the dealer for any of the listed repairs required. I do all repairs myself (including the timing belt) just so I can afford to drive this thing. Dealership parts and labor charges are in the stratosphere.
With over a 100K miles, the car still looks great and drives like the day I got it. If you aren't handy with tools, consider another manufacturer since the A4 is otherwise an expensive machine to maintain.
