What Owners are Saying About the 1997 Audi A4
"Fantastic car!!"
"I have owned this car for two years and it is a great little car. It looks good, performs well, and gets good mileage. I have a manual and around town i get 26 or 27 mpg. It corners nicely and overall handles very well. It is also a decently quick car as well. And still an excellent daily driver."
"Money to burn"
"Bought it used in '05 with 50k miles and car gets great fuel economy, is fun to drive and unbelievably so in the snow(up to 3+feet, just amazing). Problem is upkeep. Everything that goes wrong requires attention by an authorized Audi service agent and the cost of labor alone is pretty high($100+), but parts are simply too expensive. Modules, swing arms, etc, are 100-1000% more than a Lexus IS250. Windows have fallen into doors 9 times in 3 years, fixed at different places each time from $250 to $350 each time. That's well over $2000 just to have operating windows!! They've since all broken and been shimmed. Working windows or a new car? Hmm...On the bright side, no engine problems whatsoever, just everything else!!"
"Great but expensive to maintain"
"I've owned the A4 Quattro for about two years. It is a very fun car to drive, looks really nice, and got excellent gas mileage. However, there is always something that has to be wrong with the car. The seat broke on me, after I replaced that, the fuel pump went out, and then the brake light randomly turned on. I saved money by buying the parts online, such as my clutch job that I paid about 700 for, which otherwise the mechanics wanted 1200 for parts and labor. Thankfully I've never had engine gunk problems like many mention, but for some reason I doubt those who do have it, replace their oil with the recommended 5/40w. Overall a great car that can be very easily and cheaply modded to over 220hp, but can also be a money pit if the previous owner did not baby it."
