...I've had my 1998 Audi A4 1.8SE Auto 4 door for 4 months now and it still puts a smile on my face. Whether it's the solid 'thunk' of the doors closing, or the gorgeous tone of the superb 'Concert' stereo, the Audi continues to be a car I will never regret buying.
I purchased privately from a family who had cherished the car - it came in superb condition, with low mileage, and a full Audi service history. The light green (Jasper Green) really looks ... ...an Audi driver. You just get the feeling that Audi's command a certain respect. The A4 has an understated quality and image, and it makes you feel special. Next time I'll go for a TDi Avant (if I can afford one), but meanwhile I'll enjoy what I've got.

Expensive? Well what do you think? I personnally think that the UK car market is dividing - the executive cars are getting more pricy - like the Mercedes and BMWs and VWs and Audis - where as the Fords, Vauxhalls and Toyotas are getting cheaper. So is the car worth the money? Well - it's up to you - with climate control and elec windows, as well as a very nice alloy wheel choice - the car is a good car - but buy abroad - that's my advice. It's cheaper ...

Advantages: Fine cruiser Disadvantages: Poor pickup, slow.
I really like the A4 and have owned several, however the worst one by far was the 1.8. I'm told that with a turbo it goes pretty well but without it's a bit of a damp squib. The only redeeming feature is the ability to soak up massive amounts of motorway mileage with little fuss. However, you've got to hope you don't get held up because picking up the pace again is a real chore.
The engine sounds good and runs very sweetly. When the car is empty ... ...there is any sort of load. Its slow to pull away and never picks up as quick as you would like. Its get up and go certainly seems to have gone and a couple of times trying to nip into a gap i very nearly caused an accident. The trouble is that give it more revs to try and get the engine up to power and all that happens is the front wheels spin themselves stupid.
Motorway crusing is fine and having done over 700 miles in not much more that 7 hours ...

Advantages: smooth drive, beautiful car Disadvantages: I have just wrote mine off
...my next dream was a Audi A4, now I have one. It goes like an absolute dream, easy gear change, quiet and smooth. I thought the running cost would force me to sell, but what a brilliant suprise, it is fantastic on petrol. I will be honest and say I can't give you any techno jargon on this car, but, I can tell you, it's great on fuel consumption, it has never let me down, and if you ever need to put your foot down, it really goes. The insurance is ... ...honestly my opinion of this car has escalated 100 times.
It was a hard way for me to find out, but this car can take a crash !
As soon as my insurance is sorted I will definatly be getting another one.
RIP to my Audi A4. ...

Ok - The Audi Automatic 1.8 SE is a great car - but if you can drive a manual version - why bother with an Auto? The automatic even costs more - at about 1200 pounds more in fact - on top of a hefty £20250 price tag! But to be fair the car is a good one - with climate control and a general feeling of quality inside a nd outside the car - I think that this is a very Nice german executive car - I think that the BMW 3 series is a better buy and the ...

The 1.8 A4 gives you the pwer that the car needs - a 1.6 really isn't powerful enough - and this one is. The car can achieve 0-60 in a reasonable 10.6 seconds and has a top speed of 127 - so if you don't abide by the speed limits - then the car won't hang about. And with Climate control and Alloy wheels - you can't go wrong for £20000 - well you could. But I recommend buying abroad or second hand - as this will be a better price for sure. I think ...
