whatever platform its on, the a4 and jetta are close in size. my dad has an 05 a4 quattro and i have an 05 gli and an 05 passat and the passat is much bigger than the a4. feels that way atleast.

Yeah I'm not 100% sure about the newest style, but the 96-2001ish did. Nice cars either way.

im not 100% sure either. the audi dealer told my dad the passat and a4 were on the same platform... but thats coming from a salesman.
itd make more sense that itd be jetta/a4, passat/a6, phaeton/a8, but i dont know... or care that much theyre all nice. the a4 is super nice tho, but i still like my car.

A4 is on the passat platform. Jetta and Golf share the platform with the TT.

anyways I am looking at a 2001 audi A4 1.8T...its reliable from what I hear. I tried to look at some Audi forums but they were too bias.
Any German enthusiast know a lot about Audi A4's? What kinds of problems will I encounter?
I have an A4 and a VW GTI. The A4 I currently have is my first Audi and I'm pretty sure I'll never go without one again. It's built better than almost anything on the road at any price. It drives beautifully. It's optioned out beyond anything near the price. Plus, they hold their value really well. If you buy it used you won't lose much money at all as the years pile on. I say go for it....GREAT cars!

I have an A4 and I love it, I dont want any other vehicle. Its reliable and I feel safe in it. The brakes are where its at too! they are awesome once you drive an audi and get used to the brakes you'll think there going bad in anything else you drive. I love it and would recommend it , hell i would let you drive mine if i was back there. As far as repairs go , my car is certified so i never pay over 50 bucks to fix it. Anything major is covered and I have loved both dealerships that I have used.

my mom just bought the new 05 1.8t a4 sport edition and that thing is pimp. I was also with her when she test drove a 01 with 35000 miles on it. If you are looking for a luxury car with some get up, and all the gadgets, this is a good car. We were doing 120mph during the test drive and it felt like we were floating. All leather, radio tells you whats playing on your tach. Definately a nice car!
