2005 Audi A4 / S4 Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by Tom
Member4601
Interior styling
Understated yet elegant, and the styling reinforces the brand image.
Feature availability
If you live in a climate with severe winters, the AWD is great...but only with proper winter tires. The stock tires are mediocre in wintry conditions, particularly when hard-packed snow turns to ice.
Handling
Terminal understeer discourages spirited driving. A fabulous freeway ground-eater, though.
Reliability & durability
The two cars I looked at were low mileage 2005s, CPO, and both had full service history, of which there was a lot. Both cars noted cooling issues and problems with the steering system repaired under warranty. Also numerous electrical problems.
