Hi,
I'm currently looking at 3 different 2002 audi a4 avant 1.8ts with automatic transmissions. I've owned my fair share of cars and curretnly own a 98 Lexus ES300, and I know each car has it's own problem areas. Is there anything I should pay special attention to when I go out and test drive these cars? Are there specifics to 2002 that are problematic? I've fallen in love with the wagons and am looking to get the best one possible.
Also, how reliable are the automatic 1.8t's? How many miles should I expect to get out of a mechanically sound one? The reason I ask is all 3 have between 80-90k miles on the odo. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.

Have a read of this http://www.audi-forums.com/b6-forum/47603-cvt-reality-check.html !!

In my opinion play safe and go for a manual gearbox
