Consumer report gives this a poor rates. Why? there is no reasons

 

Couldn't tell you... dunno. I'm looking to buy an 03' 3.0 MT6 myself. The CR used car yearbook that I have rates the 03' pretty good in all categories (<2% of respondents has problems). Overall, the 03' has an average reliability verdict, but the 02' has a below-average reliability verdict. The 96-98 A4's have bad ratings in the electrical and brakes categories. I think the 04' has a better-than-average reliability verdict. Hope this helps.
