2000 Audi A4 SE review from Malaysia
"Excellent car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One wiper blade damaged (longitudinal split) after only 9 months.
The service workshop however replaced it for free, which was a pleasant surprise.
The car is otherwise very reliable.
General comments?
It is a fun car to drive.
Handles better than most other cars, (with exception of perhaps BMW and Mercedes?)
Suspension set slightly hard, but generally comfortable enough.
Very high build quality.
Very clean, practical and ergonomic interior.
Chose it over the BMW3 because of its better interior space.
Only shortcoming is its relatively rough sounding engine at 2800rpm up-wards.
The 'smart' transmission needs some getting used to.
Would like to hear others' opinions on the engine and transmission.
