1996 Audi A4 review from UK and Ireland
"A nice luxury commuter"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch failed at 107000 miles.
The drivers seat tends to recline by a few inches over the space of a week or so.
Power steering hydraulic fluid is leaking and has to be topped up every 3 days. Not a big job to repair.
General comments?
I love this car. It is very smooth, comfortable, cheap to run, and most of all for a 1.6 luxury saloon it is very fast.
The cabin is fairly dull with basic features, but everything is solid and works well.
My only big complaint is that the radio aerial which seems to be part of the rear windscreen does not work very well outside major cities.
