1998 Audi A4 T review from North America
"It would be a better world if all cars were like the A4"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The sun roof switch failed shortly after I obtained the car. It was quickly repaired.
General comments?
What a great car. It is sporty, safe and economical. The Quattro all wheel drive is amazing in the snow and ice. The fuel economy is very good. The Turbo is peppy and the car is fun to drive. The quality of engineering and manufacturing is the best I have ever seen. It is very reliable.
The only drawback is the limited size of the back seats. They are OK for kids or shorter people, but for tall/large people it is too tight.
