Do You like your new Audi? Yep, its my new baby
How long have you owned it? 1 month
Why did you decide to buy one? I've always wanted one and I saw one in perfect condition for sale for the right price so i had to jump on it. Now I think ill never drive anything else.
Was there another vehicle you were thinking about before you bought the Audi? maybe a G35 but honestly you cant beat quattro especially in winter

Do you like your new Audi? Yes, so far I like it more than anything I've owned prior.
How long have you owned it? 3 months.
Why did you decide to buy one? Honestly...I didn't have many other options. A friend had just rebuilt this one and was selling it for a very reasonable price.
Was there another vehicle you were thinking about before you bought the Audi? Mazda 3 hatchback.

Do You like your new Audi? Well it's not very new, but yes even with a lot of the B5 quirks I've already dealt with... cough, cough-bearings... I do love it.

How long have you owned it? Purchased in June of 2009

Why did you decide to buy one? I was set on buying a vehicle with AWD (Luckily Quattro in our case) And I thought this was the best I could do for the $ spent.

Was there another vehicle you were thinking about before you bought the Audi? I looked at a few different Subaru models (Outbacks, Legacys, Imprezas) But never found one I loved for a reasonable price. So after a decent amount of time spent searching for as close to the perfect vehicle I could find, I came across a gorgeous Pearl white B5 with pretty low mileage at a great price and I found my car. I tried to wait it out for a manual Avant though

Do you like your new audi? Love it so far, now I kinda want the manual and the turbo but I'll buy a newer one with those features one day.

How long have you owned it? About a year.

Why did you decide to buy one? I have always wanted a sporty luxury car and I live near a BMW plant so everyone has one of those and I didnt want to be a dooshbag. I was wanting AWD and some speed and something my wife wouldn't mind driving either.

Was there another vehicle you were thinking about before you bought the audi? I played around with the idea of a G35x, or a 5series x, or a subaru wrx, but the audi has everything I wanted and I am picky!

Bought one 3 days ago. In New Zealand and my choices were this or a Volkswagen. Happy with it so far but still haven't really taken it out. Any idea what the part is next to the ashtray at the rear of the console? it has an engine with a lightning bolt and the piece inside seems to wiggle.

Hello people! I bought myself a 1999 A4 Avant 2.8 30v with 150k miles last December. She was running great until a few weeks ago when it died on my way to work. Hopefully I will find the answers I am looking for here. Just wanted to check in and say hi.

Hey everyone, just purchased a 1996 Audi A4 2.8 V6 yesterday, loving the car so far. I do have a thread that was posted in the "New Members" section, but no one replied..thought I might post the URL here to let you guys view the pictures and to just stop by and say hello to all A4 owners

1. It drivers great.

2. I just got it about 3 days ago.

3. I like the look of the A4. Drove it and it handled great.

4. I was looking for a Jetta or a Camaro. It was a good choice to pick the Audi. Love it better than my Accord.
