1986 Audi 4000 CS Quattro review from North America
"Reliable, bad ass, top notch"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Basic wear and tear.
General comments?
These cars are great.
Decent power, but not fast.
Very durable, and reliable.
Many great options, especially based on year and price.
On-board trip computer tallies several things, including miles per gallon. The Audi specs say it'll get 18mpg city - 24mpg highway, but I've had a few of these cars, and I always get about 30mpg, or more (city and highway combined)... driving pretty fast, and with full time 4 wheel drive, that's excellent, and better than Audi says.
Every time I open my mind to other cars, a quick test drive and I'm back to Audi's only.
