Beautiful car. With a 4.2l V8 it must rev very high (6k?) and with a 6spd tranny. Fun Fun! Though I still favor the S4's 6 cylinder twin turbo :D

Audi is a nice car ..... to look at. Got the second one of A4 range from 2001 till 2004 model. A4 Q Tip and both rattle you out of the drive seat. My ears pain of putting the music louder and louder to get it not be that much of an irritation.

Good for a young couple that have babies. Take them at night around the block .....guaranteed they will be sleeping.

Not one of the two made it without goiing back for a problem between service intervals. (rattles exluded - that is still getting ontop to the between service intervals.) So you sit with a damn over priced car and do not have the joy out of it. Thought the first one was a dud. Looks like the hole Audi range is rather a dud in quality aspect. Anyway ...assembled in CHINA ?

The JD Power Quality indicator put Audi 8th on the list - Huandai 2nd... for crying out loud if that is not an awakening call what will be ?

Take it like this: VW = Audi in parts, only the body differ. You buy the top lin VW full house for less than a Audi base price. Indicting ..... you pay for supposed superior quality of the four rings.. BULL. Marketing...just marketing that put that idea in the head. Second hand value ... does it exist on am Audi ??? What are you talking about. Factory back-up ... what is that ???
