But, given Fiat's recent record and Alfa's history, people have been expecting the car to be troublesome. Those tested by various car magazines have been fulfilling these expectations.

Why not to buy one? Well, an A4 isn't cheap--the moderately equipped tested car listed for $47,900--but a similarly configured Lexus IS... Comparison vehicle: 2016 Lexus IS |

Typical high ownership costs for a German car especially if you don't have a set of metric tools. 2002 Audi A4 Pros and Cons Ranson I bought this car new and it now has well over 250,000 miles. The car is completely stock and I believe that has helped to keep the engine running well as it seems the stock ECU is throttled way back so it is a bit under powered. It has begun... |

A Love/Hate Relationship with my (ex) A4 B7 Avant 2006 Audi A4 / S4 Pros and Cons amkc I had a lot of unexpected problems with the vehicle. Perhaps it was my luck, but I certainly wouldn't have purchased the car if I knew how much I was going to spend on repairs. Turbo failure, oil filter housing failure, PCV assembly failure, rear brake failure, rear spring cracked... |

Do not buy B6 or B7 series! 2006 Audi A4 / S4 Pros and Cons A member in Michigan, United States Do not buy one of these used unless the timing chain pre-tensioners have been replaced. There are a lot of complaints of these breaking at 100,000 miles. Mine went at 99,100 miles and the dealer quoted me $10,000 to fix. I had to sell this car at a loss. What... |

2005 Audi A4 / S4 Pros and Cons Member4601 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. |

|
2007 Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 Pros and Cons A member in Massachusetts, United States My second A4 is better than the last, but I am glad I leased instead of buying. Reliability is just not world class. |
