#175 of 229 Re: gas mileage - 2004 Cab / 1.8T with CVT [vincentl] by macmurdo Sep 21, 2005 (4:56 am)
Replying to: vincentl (Sep 20, 2005 12:49 pm) Here's what I said...   I agree... I have a 2005 1.8T Cab and even with fewer than 3000 miles, I was achieving 31 - 32 mpg on highway trips... top up and AC on or not! I always choose to use 91 octane or higher....

#176 of 229 gas milage by kocour Sep 21, 2005 (9:41 am)
I just bought a 2005 1.8T - the miles per gallon read out indicates that I am getting 26 to 28 miles per gallon on the highway at speeds of 65 to 70 miles per hour. The salesman tells me that will improve as the car gets broken in. From others experience is that true?
#177 of 229 decision to purchase by kocour Sep 24, 2005 (8:27 am)
Thanks for the advice on whether or not to buy the Audi. After much thought I did buy it last week. Before doing so I spoke to my local and trusted foreign car mechanic, who happens to own a couple of Audis himself, and he put things in perspective for me. Audi did have several bad years in terms of reliability but has improved in recent years. I should expect more to go wrong with this car than the Japanese models that I have owned in the past but the excitement of driving it should be worth it. Since I try to keep my cars for at least ten years I may buy an extended warranty for $1800 that will cover most items for 7 years or 70,000 miles (3 years and 20,000 miles beyond the Audi warranty). I have 12 months to decide on whether to buy the extended warranty - any advise?    The car is a 2005 1.8t convertible. Its handsome design and the fun of the convertible was one of the reasons I decided to buy it over an Infiniti G35 coup. It also gets better gas mileage. It had been on the dealers lot for several months and they have two 2006 convertibles - I live in the Midwest where convertible season is coming to an end - so I was able to get it below invoice - the dealer was also able to cut $1000 off the price if I financed it through Audi so I figure I got a fair deal.
#178 of 229 1994 Audi Cab top latch won't unlock by sunlabel Sep 27, 2005 (3:00 am)
This is the second time in a year that the convertable top inside handle will not turn completely to unlock the top. I have tried everything. i.e. lock trunk, emergency brake up, in park, etc. Last year I brought the car to Audi and they repaired it with a trunk lock sensor replacement at a cost of $600. Well that lasted about 6 months and now I have the same problem. Does anyone else have this problem.? Am I missing something. Is there a cheaper way to fix this? I love this car but you can imagine how frustrating this is on those nice sunny days! Any help would be appreciated.

Replying to: sunlabel (Sep 27, 2005 3:00 am) Hi, sunlabel,   You might also want to ask the members in the Audi A4 Owners: Problems & Solutions discussion. It's possible that someone there has had this problem too. Replies to this message: sunlabel (Sep 28, 2005 2:24 am)

Replying to: claires (Sep 27, 2005 8:13 pm) Hi Claires,   Thanks for the suggestion. I just posted this on A4 Probems and Solutions. Hopefully someone will have an answer. Take care.

Replying to: macmurdo (Sep 21, 2005 4:56 am) I've always used Premium gas, and over the last 15 tanks of gas / 5149 miles, I've averaged ONLY 22.345 mpg. Almost all of the miles are freeway speeds (55-75) without traffic. The deaaler is still running tests, but "everything is in specificartion".

Replying to: rob39 (Oct 02, 2005 4:12 am) No different than the 05 models. The 06's have the nicer 17 inch wheels standard, and the 1.8T's have wood trim as well. Other than that, it's the same car.   The new grills and engines will be on the 07's next year.
