So the book says 9.2secs to 60, but you ‘feel’ that it’s ‘slightly quicker’ and probably 7 secs. You do realise that to knock 2 seconds off the time needs a hell of lot more power?? No way it’s 2 secs quicker if it’s unmodified.

Met Jamie just as he pulled in at JW Autoshine with this car.TBH car looks really good close up.Thought I’d call in for a few detailing products seen as I’m here on holiday.Had a long chat with him,nice bloke

[@willhicks96]

i had one - for three weeks… engine shat itself and oil and water mixed! Was a shame because it was a really nice car and drove really nicely

[@rjhandley556]

Lovely car, I had one for about 5 years. Dark blue, with that interior cruising down to Cornwall top down it was bliss. Shame a bus thought otherwise

My Mom went to trade in her 2005 1.8t A4 with 61k miles... needed a new convertible top motor, AC unit and radio. Dealer offered her $1000....I bought it from her for $1500 and put in a new satnav head unit and fixed the convertible top myself. I love this thing!! Ive had it for 3 months now. Northeast US.

[@TS6Racing]

Had a 3.0 v6 , Drove everywhere in sport mode, Loved the growl.

[@PROTEK123]

Just avoid the S4 variant ... declared myself bankrupt after ownership....

[@seanmclean3028]

Don’t make the same mistake I did. Buy the petrol!

[@Philljag]

Wait till the electrics go wrong, 😂😂 mine did I scrapped it 😂

[@leonbell5141]

Had a hard top version…Electrics are a critical fail had a dashboard fault that cost £600 + VAT and couldn’t guarantee it would work 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@tz6414]

Looks lovely condition on camera, for the money is crazy nice. How did you get it so cheaply.

[@leviranger6631]

Had a 2.4 v6 in estroil blue definitely a good shout

[@darkstar6135]

5 speed Manual all day long a nice ride but Audi and other car manufacturers ruined good cars putting cvt transmission in them I have a A4 b6 V6 cvt would love it to be a Manual but it is what is that's a nice Ride you got for 700!!.

[@atandinator]

A Very nice car. I have one of these for summer in the color silver. It is the 2.4 170 hp V6. The engine sounds a little better, but feels a little slower. It is my comfortable companion for the summer months as an additional car. It wasn't expensive and I would buy one again and again. No matter whether 1.8T, 2.4 or possibly also as 3.0. Tomorrow I will take another tour through the "Erzgebirge" (Ore MMountains) with my wife and two children. We are looking forward to a relaxing Sunday. :)

[@kys4492]

How much did you pay for it?

[@atandinator]

@@kys4492 4000 €

[@margaretsheridan7087]

Hi Jamie,my Audi A4, same colour inside and out

[@andysmith8031]

My mum has a 2005 1.8T S line one in black. Was a nice car, but near the end of her ownership the rear glass kept falling out of the roof 😄

[@srrjoel6924]

My mum had the same and same thing happened

[@tonzjones]

Yep common fault with them....roof material shrinks with age and the glue gives up the ghost. Just re-glued mine, but still a lot of car for the money, love mine ;-)

[@LightninBolt]

Yep and all that aside this B6 era one really looks great still, especially with the roof down. A 3.0 quattro or the V8 S4 is incredible value yeah. The electrics can play up but the engine is solid. Amazing value right now

[@85cactus]

I've picked 3.0 V6 for a grand two weeks ago. Grey body red roof and interior, etc. You can easily find a bargain this days on the market 😊

[@Jaguar_XF-S]

I have the 2005 a4 1.8t cabriolet in black, and black interior, love the car, my car is on 88k miles

[@ASH.......................1976]

Jamie,your not an 'older gentleman's your only in your 30's what are you going to call yourself when your in your 40's ,a coffin dodger !?😄

[@paulnicholas9436]

Don't look at car tax as annually look at it monthly like the Insurance. I know it's the same money but not 1 big hit.

[@d4ve587]

I'd rather have a saab 93 soft top if you Want retro 😜💪😅

[@MillerCorner]

Great to see the reviews back, dude - enjoyable content! :D

[@kylejacksonreviews2234]

Hi there can you get this in automatic for the same price

[@paulb4uk]

Bargain price still looks very modern .

[@qb7610]

Do u want to sell the Audi

[@tidysampler585]

Needles to say, my 03 Leon Cupra 1.8T costs £365 PY to tax currently. And £700 for your Audi A4 1.8T on that mileage is great value. Curiously though, which engine & gearbox code does this use?

[@mortimermortimer7555]

1.8 20v turbo

A4 cabrio has BFB

[@SophiaHusbands]

I just bought 55 plate one this weekend. A light blue one.

[@jamieboyce5162]

How's the car any issues

[@SophiaHusbands]

@jamieboyce5162 it's been okay. With the exception of leaking cooling water, which got fixed 2 months ago

[@jamieboyce5162]

I'm looking to buy a 56 plate 1.8 tomorrow and was just wondering if there reliable thank you for replying

[@margaretsheridan7087]

Hi Jamie,you can’t go wrong with that Audi,great fun,I’d buy it,looks awesome

[@tuurkishman]

My electrics went every worked just not with correct switch ,I could let windows down with the folding mirror switch 🙃
