Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

33 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

saw this on the audi website: 2004 Audi A4 1.8T quattro AWD Price: $20,996 Miles: 30,237 Transmission: Automatic anyone has exp. with A4 quattro as commute car? i think the price is good. is there a "rennlist for audi" website?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

too flashy........... well the truth is, i have to drop 2 kids in daycare in the morning. 996 cab is great for that, if the top is down.

POST 4Original post

I have had an old a4 quattro for several years. They are great in the snow and the rain, much better than my Jeep Grand Cherokee was.

POST 5Original post

I have my 03 A6 6-Speed CPO Quattro silver/black with 56k for $25k obo... Only reason for selling is too many cars right now. Fantastic daily that is fun yet really roomy and comfortable. Has shades built into the doors and automatic shade for the rear.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

95993 thx for offering, however i only considing tip for commute. i found A4 quattro are excellent deals, best bang for the buck. i started with BMW 3 series, but they are much more exp. than A4s, esp. AWD ones.

POST 9Original post

yep I've had mine for over 5 years, they run great, I find the interiors to be well laid out, rarely break down, basically amazing cars for the money. WE have taken it to Canada in the winter several times and it is awesome in bad conditions. We wouldn't be without one.

POST 10Original post

I have an A4 daily driver still. It's awesome in the snow when I take it snowboarding, and awesome in the rain (we get a lot here in the pacific northwest. Inexpensive mods and non-flashy. I like the new Audi line and thinking about upgrading my SUV to the Q7. Only thing I would say is get the bigger V6 engine - I'm kinda done with 4 cylinders now (except may Lotus Elise/Exige)

POST 11Original post

Oh yeah - audiworld.com is the place I find most of my info for my Audi.

POST 12Original post

Quotes source post: 4595317

I've had more Audis than I can count. They're wonderful in wet/snow conditions. Check KBB for pricing, and definitely look at the car in person. CPO is a real plus - As of several months ago, Audi is not allowing transfer of CPO from private owners. I assume this car is from a dealer. As you can see, I have a new S4 on order - it will be my 3rd S4 - theyr'e fast and fun (but heavy. It'll be my daily commuter. As per a previous post, www.audiworld.com is a good website for info. Not nearly as good as Rennlist, but some useful info.

POST 13Original post

I loved mine , putting 40K a year on it. Until the timming belt slipped and wrecked the motor. If you buy one have the timming belt changed early.

POST 14Original post

Quotes source post: 4596058

Agree - just had mine done on my '01 A4 at 30K miles.

POST 15Original post

Quotes source post: 4596064

Phil - 5K per year?!? Boy you've been flogging that thing!

POST 16Original post

Quotes source post: 4596124

Gotcha!! Actually, I picked it up on Autotrader from a dealer in Texas 2 years ago with 17K miles and bought it sight unseen. It's been a good car - but I "loaned" it to my son in med school. See, I (I mean we) actually drove it!

POST 17Original post

I love it! I knew that car had too many miles to be one of yours from new. Assuming that you cannot join us on the 13th, PM me if you're available for a drive on Sept 30th.

POST 18Original post

Quotes source post: 4596247

Wayne, I guess you are planning having him ride "shotgun" in your car, 'cuz he probably already has his car in moth *****.

POST 19 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

what's up with Sep 30? haven't been on the forum for a few days... Well 'ard, i may not be able to make the last run. too many family duties.....

POST 20Original post

Quotes source post: 4596247

What's up on the 30th? Organized drive, or will I just be riding in yours? I'm picking up on my NOAA that the weather guys are predicting the first major snow on that date in Philly, so we'll have to play it day to day.

POST 21Original post

you can pick up an allroad for about that price now, they depreciate like crazy I still love my 2004 2.7t 6spd, I'll keep it a long time much safer for kids, more comfortable than an a4, built like a tank and it can go anywhere, it can even tow 3500lbs

POST 22Original post

Quotes source post: 4598332

Yeah, Audis do depreciate - especially S4s. But, I'm buying it for long term so I don't care all that much. I would have leased an AWD BMW, but couldn't warm up to it. I like the allroad, but don't want a wagon or SUV at this point. Kids are grown.

POST 23Original post

ah, well grown kids it won't matter, I wouldn't put car seats in an A4

POST 24 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 4598481

they are not in car seat now. older one is 5 years old, younger one is 3 years old. i use toddler seat. i think they should be fine, it's a 5 minutes, less than 2 miles short drive from my house to day-care. for the same $$, i would get a smaller and newer A4.

POST 25Original post

Quotes source posts: 4597032, 4597432

Dry run for the next drive. Me and spiderv6 going for a run to see if the roads that we'll be using are any fun and find the places we'll be stopping for food and gas. Pl sorry to hear you cannot make it on the 13th. We'll have you along in the spring I'm sure.

POST 26 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 4599328

do u think a cayenne full of car seats fits in your fall fling?

POST 27Original post

Quotes source post: 4599348

Sure, we had 2 Cayennes along at the last drive without any issues. The only thing we ask is that the large cars give the smaller cars plenty of space and promise not to squish anyone. Any SUV can be an issue if it's followed too closely, or follows another car too closely, but if plenty of space if given back and front, then I don't see any issues.

POST 28Original post

Quotes source post: 4599328

So, Tim WAS right - I'll be riding shotgun with you in the 996!!

POST 29Original post

Quotes source post: 4599398

Well, I guess I could install another car seat and put you next to my son.

POST 30Original post

Quotes source post: 4599642

OH MY GOD, STOP!!!! You're going to get me killed!!!! My wife is sleeping at the other end of the house but I'm afraid I'll wake her up 'cuz I'm laughing so loudly! Every time I visualize your son and Phil in the car seats, I burst out laughing. I've GOT to see a pic of that! Phil religated to a car seat!!! Maybe that will convince him to drive the C4S!!!

POST 32Original post

Quotes source post: 4600301

Actually Tim, I'm pretty short and won't take up much room. Plus, if there's anything wrong with Wayne's kid, I can take care of him right there in the car! Wayne, order me one of those nice Recaro car seats and I'll be there!! Promise not to tell you how to drive, either.

POST 33Original post

Quotes source post: 4600401

My son already has a Recaro in each of our cars. I could easily shuffle a second one into the Carrera. As for my driving... I think that my previous drives have been described as white knuckle roller coaster drives.
