Im looking at buying a 2006 Audi A4T.
is there anything i should know about these cars?

 

do not get a fwd auto.....get a quattro manual by all means.....

 

I have 17k on my '06 Audi A4T Avant - zero issues to date.

 

I have to go 6-speed manual. Its not a car unless is it.
as for front wheel drive, whats the problem?

I'm looking at a 2006 A4 2.0T Quattro 6speed
it has 11k miles and up for 20k

 

Mine is a tip, we originally purchased for the wife- now my 2nd car (for kids, train station, snow and rainy days and airport), just the way it worked out - still no issues. My pref would of been 6 speed. The only features I wished I got were Xenon lights which I think were part of the technology package. I do have Garmin GPS/Valentine hard wired, Parrot bluetooth w/steering wheel, rear video for the kiddies and leather - $20k sounds like a good deal.

 

oh yeah '06 includes full maintenance - '07 and newer that is an option

 

I had a 06 for a little over a year before the 911. It was a fine automobile and if u can find the nav one the SD mem card function is AMAZING for music.

I had Qt and I loved it but I needed it here in MN

If you chip it you will be taking a risk with torn DVs and other problems. I had a couple problems with mine but all covered under warranty though I believe it was the Tuning I had. Going from stock 8-12lbs up to 20 lbs of boost and you cant be shocked if you run into minor problems

 

I was thinking about chiping it...
should i buy a bigger turbo, I havent looked into the spec of the engine block... can it handle a bigger one?

what kind of problems did you face with the turbo at 20 psi?

 

Just chip it and do minor bolts ons and run 100 octane whenever you can. I love my Quattro manual Avant. No problems or issues yet and I am at 36k.

 

Has anyone had issues with one?

 

the chip makes the car a lot easier to drive....no problems with mine and im sitting on 36k miles....check out audizine.com.....that a better bet if you want info

 

No problem. Audi's fwd is actually pretty good for most road conditions, it's just that Quattro is more desirable and better under some circumstances. It does add weight & some $$ as well.

Chip it and you're good to go

 

I plan to offset the weight with a bigger turbo and chip.
as for the money... im not worried about that

 

Do you have the 2.0T? I went and took a look at an S4 Avant Quattro with tip this last week. Its the car I want. I didn't have a chance to drive it but does it have fairly descent power and getup/go?

 

I would much rather have the S4, but there is quite a price jump between the two...
