1985 Audi 4000 S Quattro review from North America
"Get an Audi quattro!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radiator leaked and had to be fixed: about $100.
Two of the power windows don't work.
Shocks have gone bad. But hey, they're 17 years old!
I had to get a new muffler: $75.
General comments?
I have been extremely pleased with this car. I was able to purchase it for @2000, and I can't think of anything I'd like more. Audi was ahead of their time in designing this car.
It's a good 'sports sedan'. The acceleration is decent, and the handling is good. On corners, body roll is a little more than I'd like. The exterior is very stylish for its time. The interior has enough room and is comfortable enough. The seats have good support.
