1994 Audi 100 cs review from North America
"This is a mighty fine car for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Slight whine from the transmission- It's no big deal and doesn't seem to be getting worse.
General comments?
I must say, this is a mighty fine car. I just love the styling and comfort.
It's okay in stop and go traffic, could use a bit more punch off the line, but I'm not complaining.
It's absolutely excellent on the highway. Very smooth at 70+mph and seems to have plenty of power at speed; where most cars seem to lack. For the weight of the car, it handles quite well and the suspension, even with 120k+ seems like quite a good mix for both comfort and handling.
The interior is laid out very well and is quite comfortable. Pretty much everything in the interior still looks and functions like new even after 10 years, something I can't say about most 2-3 year old cars I've owned.
The AWD is great! Never even slipped a wheel in deep snow or ice.
Parts are VERY expensive for this car if you buy them from a dealership or from your mechanic. DO NOT do this. Online parts houses will have parts for a third of what the dealership or a mechanic will charge (e.g. dealer wants $200 for water pump, OEM german part is online for $60). Find a good place like autohausaz. com or force5auto.com.
