1987 Audi 4000 CS Quattro review from North America
"A reliable wonder"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Broken right front CV joint.
Front upper strut mounts.
Rear shocks.
Tear on the leather seats.
Sunroof motor has gone bad.
Fuel gauge is broken.
General comments?
Very strong, but not fast car. Once I had 8 people in it and it did not even feel any different even though I started from the stoplight from third gear just to see how it would go!
It has been extremely reliable, when my CV joint went, the whole drive shaft was inoperable. Then it picked up and propelled the rear wheels as if it was RWD all the time.
The seats are really uncomfortable, but you get used to it after a while.
Also I cannot stand the fact that the sound system is hard to modify.
