1987 Audi Coupe review from North America
"Simply the best Audi produced!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Manifold bolt broke, but repaired by Audi at no cost. Window regulators went out. First replaced by dealer for $300 but I found out through Audi in Berlin, Germany that the a small radiator bushing is the same as the one found on the window regulators. The second was repaired for less than $20! Digital dash was promlematic, but again Audi dealer in Germany advised how to fix it. I told the dealer in the US and it was done at low cost!
General comments?
This was the best car I have ever owned. So much so that when I moved overseas I brought the then 5 year old car with me. The dealers here loved it since it was a US version with the digital dash and luxo packaging (power everything) never found on the car here. Unfortunately I could not register the car here and had to eventually send it back to the US and sold it to a 16 year old. Lord knows what's happened to it.
