Your Current Car :
2003 Audi A4 1.8T 5spd



Color:
Silver with black leather

Odometer Reads:
56,500

Purchase Price:
$26,300 (certified pre-owned)

Fixed Problems:
- 2 headlights (one right, one left)
- 1 turn signal (required the whole headlight housing to be replaced, burnt contacts)
- sticky sunroof (replaced the sun roof switch)
- factory stereo (one button was peeling, so the dealer gave me a new one!)
- noisy sunroof operation (just needed some lubing)

Remaining Problems:
- small dent on right side rear wheel well (drunk teenager hit it when it was parked in a driveway)

What have you bought for it? (exclude carputer)
- gas, gas, and more gas!
- 2 new rear tires

Future Plans:
- car computer (obviously)
- ECU chip programming
- Diverter/Blow Off Valve
- Tint
- new speakers and an amplifier

Why did you buy it?
My 2000 Jetta GLX reached the end of it's warranty and the MAFS was going bad. Also the clutch needed replacement. I figured since I had it 4 years and had some equity built up, time to trade it in. Hello Audi...

What do you like the most about your car?
It is very quiet, smooth, and somewhat quick (I think it is slow though). By far the most solid built car I have ever owned. My girlfriend thinks it's sexy. When little stuff breaks (like my headlights and turn signals), the car is very specific with it's errors. It tells me "left front turn signal out" or "right dipped headlamp". "Dipped" is german for "that **** is broke" I guess. LOL

What do you dislike about your car?
- It's slow (relatively)
- Obvious issues with headlights and any type of bulb contained therein
- The dent from the drunk driver
- The need to use 91 octane gas

I'm with you on that one. Yeah the A4 is not quick and it feels heavy. Would love to have any of the RS.
