"Fun little car"

This has been the best surprise I never expected. My first Audi (I am a BMW guy). Got it because it was half price used compared to a similar BMW. I am having a blast driving this car. Ages extremely well. Personal opinion is the quality of materials used in the A4 series Audi is far better than BMW 3 series, and comparable to the 5. German cars need proper maintenance. So you need to educate yourself and do most of the minor maintenance tasks. NEVER go the the dealer! Hugely overpriced and very subpar quality of work. They do not even use proper oils for these vehicles! Have not had any of the problems reported by some of the other reviewers, but I do not think it is luck. I had BMWs, MBs and also had very few real issues with them. Just do not ignore any signs when something feels wrong. Fix right away and do not over maintain. Also I was surprised by how large the vehicle feels inside. Extremely well distributed cabin and trunk spaces. Feels very safe to drive too. Car is 11 years old, driven in Chicago and does not have a speck of rust or anything broken in and out. Absolutely amazing!

"Fun to drive expensive to keep"

I was so excited to buy my first car a 2008 audi a4 s-line package for 19000k that had 50000k miles on it. I should've did my research on how exspensive it is to maintain. The engine light came on as soon as i got it, the brakes are already bad, oil pan leaks, and as for interior The passenger seat is manual, the cup holders are in a dumb spot because of middle compartment. No aux cord and no automatic head lightseven tho a 08 and back seat panels fell off on both seats... I love the inside how it looks tho and I think its comfy and big back seat for a small car. Maybe if it wasn't so expensive to keep up I wouldn't mind it but gas, oil change, tires... To much..

great first car

Gas mileage isn't great, but that's really the only complaint I have! As long as you take care of your Audi (regular oil changes, etc), it'll take care of you. I bought this car this year at 99k and I'm hoping it'll run for another 100k.

Absolutely love my car
Pros

Fun vehicle

Cons

Lots of repairs are needed

I love my car. However, in two years of owning it I have had to replace the headlights, battery, ignition coils, center console, flex pipe, valve cover, valve cover gasket, coil spring, lugnuts, knuckle hub spindle, passenger side mirror glass, low pressure sensor, high pressure fuel pump, camshaft follower, high pressure sensor, fuel filter, fuel pump, turbocharger, boost solenoid, brake booster vacuum pump, AND power steering pump. Yeah, good thing I know a guy... But I would not trade this car for the world, I will drive it into the ground. With 124k miles on it, I hope to get at least another 10 years out of it God willing and the creek don't rise... I drive about 3k miles a year and store it indoors. This thing handles spectacularly in the snow and on ice! I bought it for $1,500 and have installed $2,186.35 in parts over the last two years for an average of $5.05/Day - I will take that over a new car that costs about $20/Day. Audi for life!

A good first car

I'm currently 14 years of age and my dad bought me a car 2 years in advance. Because we live in a rural area of Greece, I get to drive sometimes. In my opinion, I love the 07 Audi A4. Not only is it safe, reliable, fast, and affordable, it's a German-manufactured car. I'm a big car fan and I wish my dad still knew that, RIP my dad.
