1987 Audi 5000 S Quattro review from North America
"Very cheap, reliable transportation. Extremely under-rated car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I have had; a thrown alternator belt, no other problems to date.
General comments?
Purchased this car from a friend who runs an Audi & BMW performance shop. He drove this car very hard! After a minor tune-up & cleaning session, it looked like brand new!
Not the fastest car I've ever driven, but handling is quite good.
Quattro has locking front & rear differentials, very handy in the snow belt!
Does not use any oil, fuel mileage very good; much better than I expected.
I expect to put another 100000 miles on this vehicle!
