Just got my first car and it’s an Audi


B5 is one of my favorite Audi generations. Such a classic and timeless car.

First car? I LOVE B5s! I’ve owned a couple, including an S4 Avant. Just a heads-up though, they’re not the easiest to work on and really need a lot of maintenance. Hope you’re ready for the commitment!

Looks like they’re in Germany… They’ll have no trouble finding someone who knows these cars inside and out. Finding a good mechanic will be key for inspections and keeping up with repairs. Germans do have a different way of maintaining their cars! VW and Audi can be pretty reliable over there.

Germany definitely has a different approach to car maintenance than the U.S., and since parts and labor are cheaper there, these cars turn out to be pretty reliable.

Welcome to the club! :clinking_glasses: I’m in the same boat, and yeah, fixing things can get pricey for a first car. But for a first ride, it’s amazing.

Nice! First thing… get yourself a Bentley manual.

I had an Imola yellow B5 S4 back in the early 2000s. I still miss it.

Congrats! I’ve got a B5 and a B9. The B9 feels more luxurious, but there’s just something special about the B5.

B5 S4 is a great pick! Make sure to take good care of it.

Is that the biturbo V6 S4? Congrats, man! You’re in for some good times and a lot of learning.

Congrats! You deserve it. Enjoy the ride!

Congrats! Have fun with it!

Welcome to the family :sunglasses:

Welcome to the Audi club.

My first car was a 2.8 B5, and now I have two more! An Imola S4 and a Santorin 2.8 B5.

Yes! That’s a great engine and car.

Very cool! Congrats! I just got my first B5 too!

Such a timeless design. I remember when they first hit the streets, I thought they looked great. The B5 has aged so well over the years.

Nice ride! Welcome to the club.
