1998 Audi A4 Avant review from Netherlands
"Comfortable, good car with an excellent engine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Climatronic - no stable temperature, fixed 5 times, no result!
Cruise-control acting strange for some time; disappeared automatically.
The dealer was of no use.
General comments?
Excellent comfortable car with a superb engine in power, fuel consumption and torque!
Space in the back/trunk is smaller then you think.
