Areas for improvement: Nice engine, refined
I have truly enjoyed this car in the last few months since I bought it. I have always wanted an Audi, and I am definitely looking forward to seeing how it handles in the winter. Before purchasing, I took it into my mechanic who specializes in EuroNice cars, and he couldn't recommend an Audi more - in fact, he even owns one. Can't beat that. Didn't know if I would like the 1.8 engine, at times is a little slow in 1st gear, but you start to feel quite a bit of power once in 2nd gear. Other than some blind spots, I think the car is great. The interior is well done, the body of the 2005 looks expensive and sporty.
So far so good, no problems with the car so far. Don't like how the heated seats stay on since they are manual. Have to remember to turn them off for next time I start the car. The mechanism to open the sun roof seems a little sketchy to me, plastic wheel and all, but hasn't broken yet! The running costs for Audi A4 1.8 Manual are normal
