Opinions on 2001ish Audi A4

[hustler]

Looking into getting one so just though I would get general opinions on the car plus maybe find out some of the positives and negatives of getting one...thanks in advance

*edit*
just wondering what some opinions are on a fair price for a 2001 audi a4 1.8T quattro with 155000kms well maintained with the usual wear and tear

get an 02, redesigned, much nicer looking.

in all honesty i still love the b5 body, much nicer then the 02-04(?)

1.8t all the way, HUGE aftermarket..

If you're intent on the B5 A4, I'd say look for one with a "celebration" package.

Good cars. AWD is nice. Not particularly fast, but the 1.8T can be upgraded quite easily to make it acceptable. Good quality. Nice interiors - second to none. Expensive parts.

Good value for money, and the 1.8T feels faster than it is. Which makes it a blast to drive. Avoid the automatic, though, it's a much better car with the standard transmission. I've heard, though never experienced, that the CVT transmission makes them fun to drive, but I think that was only available in 2wd. Quattro's nicer.

We have one. Nice car. On ours the sunroof makes more wind noise than I think it should. In the 3 years and 70ish K's we put on it, it haas been a rock. No problems, still drives tight.


BTW, a 01 A4 1.8t w/5 speed will run a 15.9 at race city, completly stock. But there is sooo much aftermarket support for the 1.8t its crazy.

I've had two B5 A4's,(2.8 and 1.8T) and now a B5 S4.. all been great, and whatever problems I've had have been attributed to my many upgrades. (My 1.8T had approx 330hp.. Stage 3+ GT28rs, Current S4 has upgraded turbos and 450hp+)

As long as you keep up normal maintenace they should be geat cars... With a chip the 1.8T is about the same as the 2.8, but it really depends if you want to mod, or keep it stock.

thanks for all the input guys does anyone have a ballpark range on a 2001 audi a4 quattro fully loaded with about 150000 kms and well maintained..

[403Gemini]

Doesnt just a simple GIAC chip give you like 50 more hp and 50 more tq with the 1.8t?

[hustler]

anything?
