We have ’02 A4 Quattro Auto with the 6 cyl engine. I had heard of 1.8T issues so I only shopped 6 cyl. We bought it @ 30K miles with 2 yrs of full warranty left. No real issues except 2 cats have been replaced (one just last week) & one HID igniter. All under warranty. Our full warranty ran out last year & we have spent approx $1K since in stuff. Taillight bulb holder, license plate bulb holder, fluids etc. If I wasn’t lazy it would have been less.

I really like driving it. Much tighter than the 00 323i BMW I just dumped (it was costing $1.5K a year in friggin’ sensors & nonsense stuff). The AWD with snows will take you anywhere.

The only cheesy thing is the rubberized paint on interior switches etc is starting to wear off with age & use. This was also a problem with the BMW.

I plan to trade it next year on another Audi.
