Default First Audi

Okay so I'm selling my old Toyota Highlander and I'm thinking about buying a used 2006 A4 2.0T with automatic transmission. I need some insight because when I check for reviews on forums and such I can never find a straight answer. It seems that whenever I ask for insight on the 2006 model I get responses from people who have a 2000 or a 2005 model. I really need some help here. I'm not what you would call a car guy and cant diagnose problems. I just want an all wheel drive sedan that I can enjoy driving without worrying about spending an insane amount of money in repairs. I test drove the car and I love it however the salesperson did not seem honest at all. I had to ask him the same question (What issues are commonly reported with this car) over 5 times without getting an answer so I just walked out. So please help me. If you owned a 2006 A4 what are some of the problems you've had with it? Any help is appreciated.

The b7 audi a4's are pretty reliable, i own an 07 manual and i love it. Make sure you change the cam follower soon after you buy it. Make sure the maintenance records looks ok thru the dealer.

Here's a link that more than answers your question, but is worth reading IMO.
