Just wanted to see how many of the B5 forum are new members. The demographic of audi ownership is changing as the prices are more in the reach of the younger generation.
Questions to answer:

Do you like your new audi?

How long have you owned it?

Why did you decide to buy one?

Was there another vehicle you were thinking about before you bought the audi?

1. I LOVE it

2. Nearly 3 months. Bought it on August 4th of this year

3. I was getting tired of the fuel mileage in my V6 camaro, which also sucks horribly in snow. Also, the color (Brilliant Yellow) of the car really got my attention, obviously. I fell in love with it. Plus, come on, it's an AUDI.

4. I wasn't even planning on getting another car until I saw this one.

My wife is jealous because she feels that I rub the car more that her.

How long have you owned it?
Since mid August

Why did you decide to buy one?
I have always admired the A4 and when I got a chance to get one...

Was there another vehicle you were thinking about before you bought the audi?
Several. Passat, Outback, Saab 90 ( I think) I mostly wanted something other than the Ford POS I had been driving. (I really couldn't complain much it was free)

Do you like your new audi? Very much so. So does everyone else.

How long have you owned it? A little over 4 months now.

Why did you decide to buy one? It was pretty cheap, I loved the color, Diamante had a blown motor. Was lookin at some passats too but decided on this. Paid cash. Still don't like the CEL comes on all the time. Changed many things and no confirmed fix yet.

I've had the new-to-us B5 for two months and am very happy. It is the newest, lowest mileage, best outfitted vehicle in the house, so pretty easy to please everyone.

Wanted a decent stick shift for my daughter's first car, and after some research and finding the great online support available, B5's went to the top of the list, along with Ford Foci of various models. This particular car was cosmetically near perfect, and priced right to reflect the mechanical work needed. Having done the mechanical things myself, I now have a car I feel pretty confident with for the next 80k miles.

Do you like your new audi?

Very much so. Just wish it had a little more power (12v V6) and was a different color (old person light gold).

How long have you owned it?

Since June of 2010, it was my birthday present to myself.

Why did you decide to buy one?

I had a front wheel drive Ford Probe GT (2nd Gen) and ran it into the ground. I wanted something all wheel drive for the winter and something that would not tempt me to go into race mode every time I turned the key. When I found out how inexpensive you can get an A4 for I had to have one.

Was there another vehicle you were thinking of before you bought the Audi?

Subaru Impeza Outback Sport, Mazda Protoge, Ford Focus (hatch)
