2003 Audi A4 Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by joevdb

Handling
This is fun to drive and very responsive. Takes a turn and doesn't flip on it's side. VEry cool
Front seat support & comfort
Really feels luxurious and solid. Excellent seat comfort for me.
Warranty, maintenance cost
This is a high-maintenance car. I've got quotes for the next scheduled maintenance, and I'm grateful I only put 7000 miles a year on it.
Powertrain performance
Yes, it burns fuel when you drive aggressively. It's a low MPG car, but you can squeeze decent performance out of it. I average 20 MP in the city and up to 31 MPG on the freeway. More if I use premium.
Interior storage compartments
Let's be real. The center console is strange. The flip up arm rest-container in the middle is just plain weird. You get used to it, but you never love it.
Fuel economy
Yup, it does not get great mileage. But if your choice is go nowhere in the snow, or go somewhere, and have FUN going while you get low MPG, buy this car. It's a blast in the snow.
Safety & braking
Rear wheel ABS sensor is out, so I have to get it repaired befgore I have ABS again. What?!!?!
Controls and instruments
CEL is on a lot! Then it goes off. Never mind.
I love the handling, don't mind the mileage. It's the most luxury I could afford, and it feels like status. Call me shallow. I love the car, and the feeling I get while driving it. It's a classic look, people think it's brand new even though it's 10 years old.
