1994 Audi 100 S review from North America
"Very solid, safe, comfortable car with ample performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The timing belt was replaced as a preventative measure at 95,000 miles. This is normal, but relatively expensive on this car at about $800US. The water pump was replaced at the same time - again as a preventative measure (included in the $800). The car started to hesitate under acceleration at about that time and that ended up being a coil problem. The replacement coil was expensive - about $300US.
Other than that, the only problems I have had are that the power door locks on the drivers door and the trunk get very unreliable in cold weather. I have decide to just live with it!!
General comments?
Not very fast from a standing start, but a great freeway cruiser with plenty of power in reserve for overtaking. Loves to cruise at about 75mph. Fuel economy is about 24mpg (US) for this type of driving. Good, safe handling. Good in snow on Goodyear Eagles, but would probably benefit from true snow tires. Has been very reliable. Still looks good. The interior on mine is fabric and the seats and carpets are showing very little wear. Lots of passenger and trunk space.
