Do you like your new audi?
She's easily the best car I've ever owned.
How long have you owned it?
Since Halloween of '08
Why did you decide to buy one?
I couldn't afford to feed the 1995 Chevy truck I was driving and wanted to get a fun to drive, manual transmission luxury car.
Was there another vehicle you were thinking about before you bought the Audi?
I was originally in the market for a manual TDI Jetta or Golf, and was surprised to find that the Audi was actually cheaper with way fewer miles. After about four seconds of my test drive I knew I had to buy the A4, and the next day she was mine. For a daily driver, I'll never drive anything else again.

1999 A4 Quattro
Hello Everyone I am new to the Forums.
Just bought a gently used 99 A4 Quattro here in Houston and looking forward to learning more about the car.

I have owned several BMWs over the years (1986 325es, 1997 318ti, 1998 M Roadster and 1998 M3 Sedan) but this is my first Audi and it just had to be red. LOL!

1. i love my new audi, a few problems here and there but nothing to die over.

hey guys, Ive been posting a tiny bit int he past 2 weeks or so, been browsing the forums and reading post for a month or 2 tho. thought i should post in here eventually so here i am.
i bought my 2000 A4 1.8TQ(5spd of coarse) mid October, dark blue, gray leather interior. it had 92.8k miles when i bought it, in less then 2 weeks had it up to 94.5ish =P runs like a dream looks close to mint, few blemishes.
Love the car more then i even anticipated.
Ive had it since about October 21st or so.
my old car died and i needed a new car and my first thought was Audi or bimmer.
I looked at a lot of each, and personally i love the simplicity, non-gaudy look of the Audis over the bimmers. I also wanted something, stock turbod and AWD was a must!
For now the B5 is my daily driver as well as my toy, next year i think im gonna buy a newer 2005+ Audi for my stock day to day and keep my B5 for my toy/fun car(love the body style of the B5)
im 20 years old this was my first newer car that i actually paid some money for, everything else was mid/early 90s, $1500 or less. i live in Minnesota and i work retail, im also an IT guys, slight car enthusiast(which is why im here =P)

I love my new audi.
I have owned it for about 6 months.
I decided to buy one because I was sick of cheap Japanese crap, with shitty handling and poor exterior design, especially the rust.
I was looking into buying, vtec civics and acuras, lexuses, nissan 350z (not really practical or in my price range), volvo s40, imprezas, jetta,

i guess i'm a little late for this, but ive had the car for less than 6 months so i'll fill it out anyway. Just for the record, I am a 17 year old male.
Do you like your new audi?
- well yes and no. I don't like it because repairs are expensive, repairs are somewhat frequent, and its not as fast and powerful as I would like it to be. But i do because it is sporty while being luxurious. and pretty spacious, which has come in handy recently.
How long have you owned it?
- since August 2010
Why did you decide to buy one?
- I wanted something with a 6 or 8 cylinder engine, a 5 speed manual, and something that isn't a cop magnet. this car fit the bill, with plenty of extras.
Was there another vehicle you were thinking about before you bought the audi?
- well, before the Audi i owned a 96 vw passat glx. it turned out the dealer lied to us about the mileage (long story) and basically they bought it back. but besides that, I was looking at a Camaro z28 and a bmw 330i. both cars had over the top insurance prices, so that was a no.
