How do you sell a wagon to an American? Make it look a little more like an SUV. The micro-beloved Audi A4 Avant wagon has been replaced in Audi's U.S. lineup by a raised and ruggedized A4 Avant called the 2013 Audi Allroad. In addition to an extra 1.5 inches of ground clearance, stainless steel skidplates and distinctive paint scheme, the 2013 Allroad is differentiated from the 2012 Audi A4 wagon by a host of upgrades that benefit the entire Audi A4/A5 lineup for 2013. We're glad the Allroad is back – the A6-based Allroad that went away after 2005 is a cult classic – but this new one has the daunting task of competing for attention with Audi's terrific Q5 compact crossover.

"This is an awesome car until it breaks down an you. And it will. You'll learn words like torque clutch converter, air bladder suspension system, and serpentine belt and learn to hold onto your wallet. When the torque converter clutch failed - a part that I've read Audi went cheap on when designing the transmission - I had to get a new transmission. That was $6,000. When the first air bladder went out on the front end, I replaced it for $3,000. Then it happened again, so I replaced the whole suspension for $3,500. I've had the car for three years. Bought it for less than $15,000 and put at least that much back into it for repairs. Beware the Audi Allroad. It's performance will grab you; the repairs will shake you."

"While not the cheapest car to maintain, this car will run 200,000 miles if you take good care of it. I have owned my Allroad for 6 years and have loved every minute of it. It's reliable, powerful, roomy, comfortable and sporty. It still turns heads years later! The 6 speed manual transmission is a must."

"adaptable to all types of weather. excellent smooth ride. just make sure if you get a warranty that it can cover the air suspension each one can run you about $900 big ones"
