1998 Audi A4 review from UK and Ireland
"Good riddance its almost gone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission, seals, every electrical item you can name.
General comments?
This car is a piece of crap. I had to get it towed in my first month of ownership. My BMW never gave me this kind of trouble. I was warned that Audi and VW are electrical system nightmares and this just proves this. Terrible car.
The Quattro feature is nice but now BMW has an Xi 3 Series that's where I am going once this Audi garbage goes into the scrap heap. My 993 Porsche never gave me these problems either.
