The ABS light flashes while making right hand curves at higher speeds inhibiting driving, but is fine on left hand curves; feels as if the braking system is trying to slow down the car.

mandrup, 2001 Audi Allroad Quattro, Somerville, MA

Last week it would shut down two seconds after starting and after six tries I gave up. it started fine the next day and started easily every day since until this evening, when it did it again.

2004 Audi Allroad Quattro, mrcool1122, Chicago, IL, January 31, 2009 13:50

The 4.2 V8 is a very durable engine, and with the bulletproof drivetrain, this car should last anyone a good long time. That is, as long as you can keep up with all the wear-and-tear parts as they inevitably give out. Hoses and suspension components will crack and leak, especially in cold weather (but that's the trade off here for a car that's virtually unstoppable in deep snow). Parts are expensive because of the car's uniqueness, doubly so on cars with the V8 (it uses parts not found on any other Audi) instead of a V6. Can't argue with that V8 exhaust note and low-end torque, though!
The interior is standard Audi brilliance, and aside from a few scuffs, my example is in excellent condition after five years and 85,000 miles.

2001 Audi Allroad Quattro, Braunsys, Okemos, MI, December 22, 2008 08:17

2001 Allroad Quattro:
Really like the car when there are no problems.
But, it seems that there is always something that needs repairing, from broken armrest cover to rear wheel bearings, timing belts, vacuum problems, electrical problems,tire issues...
Also, very expensive to maintain.
I am not sure what my next vehicle will be...
Overall I would give the Allroad Quattro a 6 out of 10.

2002 Audi Allroad Quattro, utahluca, Clearfield, UT, November 29, 2008 16:21

The car is fantastic when it runs... but be aware of the costly repaired: as already mentioned, the front air spring suspension will set you back 1000 dollars each (they WILL fail)the front brake (rotors and pads) is a 500 dollars job. Leaks in the 2.7T engine are common. The reliability is horrible, but the driving dynamics make up for that. I wouldn't recomend to buy one unless you are planning to save thousands of dollars to maintain it.

2002 Audi Allroad Quattro, spyder, Oakland, CA, October 06, 2008 14:02

For the right owner these can be great cars.Not an SUV and not an avant this is the right mix of both.Somewhat high maintenance , a great performer and stylish.The proven Quattro four wheel drive system works well with the air suspension.A real joy is the V-8 with the manual transmission.Hard to find though.
Many very high mileage daily drivers on the road still.A sought after choice in the used car market attest to their popularity.

2002 Audi Allroad Quattro, bimmahx3, Colchester, VT, September 16, 2008 12:39

Stay away from this car and it's "Air Suspension". Nothing but a very, very expensive nightmare. Also had to spend lots of money on a steering rack for this car. A total horror show. Wait until they release the new Allroad here in the US...don't waste your money on this version.
