Perfect Car

published

Never had a problem with this car. Been an absolute dream to drive. Cheap on petrol. I service it every 5000ks. Just clicked over 200,000ks and still running strong. Great car to own.

Purchased in January 2021 for $12,000.00.

If you love a squeaky steering wheel then go for A4

published

Audi A4 has an operational issue (according to unhelpful Audi Customer care) that you are going to hate and that is it is the Squeaky steering wheel. After taking to authorised repair centre finally Audi Australia came up with NO FIX. According to Audi it is perfectly safe to drive even if you get distracted with this constant noise- great answer. Be careful while buying this model.
In addition, with my car the coolant started leaking at 55K and fuel flap became noisey. These are easily fixable but may cost you fortune if your car has run out of warranty.



Purchased in July 2021.

Worst car i have ever owned a total nightmare

published

My audi a4 has been a total nightmare the engine has blown up the dsg gearbox failed and Audi have been totally unhelpful. I have been put off ever buying a German car again. Audi's aim is to deny known defects and make the customer's life as difficult as possible when trying to resolve an issue with their cars

Great when still under Wty

published

We loved the car for the first 4 years then everthing started to go wrong, Igintion coils,Pcv,hood lining dropped,front wheel bearings,water pump steering shudder and the dreadfull CVT died
To make matters worse most of these repairs have been recalled in other countries but the arrogant Audi Aust claim they haven't heard of the problems .Tried to trade it in but after spending nearly $50.000 they give you 15.000
Went to Mercedes they sell you a car but wont touch Audis as trades.
Buy one but get rid of it BEFORE the WTY is up

Great car

published

Best car ever had without any problems. Very durable and reliable. The acceleration is not as good as BMW in the same engine range as BMW has valvetronic system which also can damage their engines. Drive smooth and nothing to be worried of. Definitely recommend if you can get a good price with a good gearbox.

My car was all I had :)

published

Bought the 2.0 turbo diesel model 1 year ago. Driving it is very comfortable. With the leather seat covers, they provide less heats in car space. The back seats have good space for passengers that I received few good compliments from several Uber rides. The only shame is it lack of bluetooth media audio, had to buy an adaptor to bypass this ‘fault’.

Smooth, comfortable and reliable

published

German cars are 'my thing': being a long-term BMW driver, I decided to give Audi a try.....What a difference ! Great breaks, the engine is silent and the fuel efficiency cannot be ignored. I like the seats and the ergonomics: the buttons on the side of the seat make everything so user-friendly. other functionalities on the steering wheel allow the driver to safely manoeuver the car and use the multimedia system simultaneously. Love my car !

Nice to drive, terrible car

published

Had nothing but problems. Central locking failed, transmission mechatronics failed, and finally the engine failed at 105k km's.. Audi servicing I experienced was expensive, arrogant and ignorant. I loved driving this car and it looks great but that's as much as I can say that's positive. If you buy an Audi, get rid of it before the warranty is up is my advice..

Amazing car love it.

published

So different to drive than a commodore. All parts of this car make it beautiful. The leather, the performance, the handling. Very nice to drive and low fuel consumption but not as low as advertised. Will always stick to European cars from now on. Wish it had fold in mirrors to protect when parked.

Oil consumption and mismatched gearbox

published

Like many others, my car suffered from heavy oil consumption. I disliked the geabox, the CVT never matched the turbo engine from takeoff. Rolled badly in uphill starts. Had smooth ride and great fuel consumption (if you can believe the VW/Audi gauge). I switched to Mercedes which has vastly better quality. I won't buy another Audi, despite owning four of them in the past.

Its an ok car!

published

It's comfortable, driving is nice but not comparable to a BMW 3 Series so if you're coming from a BMW, might be worth going back to BMW. At 1.5 year old the car has already let me down when it started leaking oil and coolant left me on the side of the road on the way to work and had to get towed. There has been no major problems since but i don't have the confidence now to take the car away on super long trips. Who knows may be it was a one time thing, there are plenty of happy owners out there. Time will tell if I'll ever buy another Audi but for now I've gotta say its a NO.

Shaky start to love affair

published

Bought my A4 Avant 2.0L new in 2010 based on quality, practicality, performance and looks.
Within a few months, the excessive oil consumption issue arose. Audi explained likely problem and ran their required processes, resulting in new engine from Germany; no cost to me; other than time and anxiety.
That was 6 years ago and has run like a dream since. Love it.

Great but 2.0l tfsi terrible reliability

published

This 2.0l tfsi petrol engine will need a rebuild, the pistons were designed wrong an as a result they use huge amounts of oil, only fix is full rebuild, mine needed one after 150000 ks they all have this issue until the 2012 model came out, in America they were recalled an rebuilt, not in Australia.

Audi Australia have been paying for a proportion of the cost to rebuild these engines, contact Audi Australia directly before getting the work done and they may help out, they are reluctant though.
