Nice car, can preform good if kept over 3000rpm, slow of the line, car is pretty reliable because its been rare ended, hit from the front and the side and still runs like new. I changed the oil every 4000K miles with mobile one synthetic and its been running good so far except for the few things above.
I have really been blessed with my car. I have a 2001 A4 with front wheel drive and really love it.
Though my car is stock, I autocross the car, and have been to Audi Club driving schools at Sears Point, Laguna
Seca, Pahrump, NV.
I still have the same clutch, turbo, and shocks. I change the oil, using Castrol Syntec, every five thousand miles, and change the timing belt around every 70,000 miles.
Last year, I took a 9,200 mile road trip to Iowa (and parts in between) for a conference. I used cruise control as much as I could and averaged 32 mpg.
Do I like my car? Most definitely yes.
