I looked into an A4 when I was shopping (a while ago, not '06). They are nice cars...but so unreliable.

I hear they are ending that free maintenance program in 2007 which blows.

Time to find a new girlfriend before it cost you too much. Bad judgement is expensive in a wife it will a be death sentance. Seriously, the A4 has reliability no where near the top so although the car is nice it's relatively expensive, high depreciation.

hello.

The A4 seems to be a hit or miss with reliablity. Either you get one with a bunch of small issues or one with none. Does she plan to keep it after 50k? If so then I would go look at a BMW 325 instead. Also the free maintenance program ends for MY 2007 cars. The Audis before that still get it under the 3/50k plan, so I been told.

I like the B7 A4 but im not sure if I could get myself to buy one at the price they are going for now. With that said, I still enjoy my 2004 A4 at 30k miles.

I think its because dealers were losing money from not charging for service. I guess they make more from the service department than they do with actual sales of the cars.
