1999 Audi A4 Avant Reviews, Pricing & Specs

What owners say
"Overall, most owners of the 1999 Audi A4 Avant appreciate its reliability, comfort, and performance, particularly praising its handling and fuel economy. Many find the Quattro all-wheel drive system to be a significant advantage, especially in challenging weather conditions. However, some drivers highlighted minor issues with suspension and mentioned the need for routine maintenance. The car's styling and build quality are also frequently admired, making it a solid choice for those seeking an economical yet enjoyable ride."
I purchased my A4 used with 140,000 miles. I have been driving it for 2 years, during which time I have driven it between collage in Idaho, Home in Colorado Springs, and my wifes home in Los Angeles, and I haven't had to fix a thing! Just routine oil changes and so forth. I chose the Avant for the roof rack, and I have a Yakima system with 2 rocky mounts bike carriers, and a Yakima ski/snowboard rack. The Quattro makes it handle excellent in the snow, and dirt for recreational transportation. The interior is bomb proof with the German simulated leather that gives it a refined and luxurious feel. I will definitely keep this car until it no longer runs! Which is looking like it will be quite a while!
May 31, 2008It´s actually a 1996, but the website here did´t allow me to choose this year. Handling: It understeers quite badly, but all FWD Audis do that. Steering: not bad, (you can "feel" the road "a little bit") Power: 125 PS (not bad) Fun: Well its an Avant, so you can take your whole home and go for a ride...^^ or... sleep in it.
December 29, 2010Enough power for normal use, but ain´t no rocket. Love the quattro all-wheel drive. Doesn´t corrode, good paint quality. Suspension arms a weak spot, but not too expensive to repair. Some model years present a fault in the abs brakes control module.

June 25, 2009Overall, I love the car. It is very comfortable and economical with today's gas prices. I love the ride and preformance, especially the five speed standard transmission.
November 28, 2007reliability, looks, handling, economy, braking, handing and overall performance. i have the Quattro version and with the coming of the wet and windy season I can look forward to putting the handling to the test (again). A great all rounder with fantastic build quality.
October 5, 2010The car was brilliant, it was a dream to drive on the motorway could easily carry all of my gear up and down the contry! Great fuel economy and comfortable!! I had the 1.9TDI(110) It's acceleration was not that of a sports car but it was good enough, it breaked like nothing else I have ever owned, and handeling was good, it was quite good on country lanes!!
October 21, 2008Reliable and comfortable. Capable of all family chores.
January 18, 2008Mooie strakke auto, wolf in schaapskleren trekt als een beer en gaat als de brandweer. Geweldige machine. Perfect afgewerkt, kan bijna niet beter. Geen storingen gehad. Wel wat olieverbruik. 1L op 6000 Km. Sportief rijgedrag...Absoluut een topklasse wagen, een bescheiden verbruik.
December 7, 2009Brilliant first move into the estate world
