2005 Audi A4 review from North America
"Forget German and stick with Japanese"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought the car and on the same day, the check engine light came on. Took the dealer 3 1/2 weeks to fix. Found out the dealer I originally bought the car from did not perform a PDI and falsely signed the papers. Since then, had take the car in for three more times with airbag and check engine light.
There is overwhelming rust on the drive axle.. dealer and Audi service has no comments or any corrective action in place.
General comments?
The interior is absolutely beautiful and best among all (Lexus, BMW, Mercedes and Infiniti).
Handling is superb.
Check engine light every few months..unacceptable.
