1988 Audi 5000 CS Turbo review from North America

Radiator Fan stopped working.

Transmission oil cooler hose leaked.

Climate control unit quits.

Cruise control have a mind of its own, it will work only when it wants too.

All and all, one of the most under appreciated car and one of the best used car value.

Excellent highway cruiser, especially at 75 mph +. At its prime, it was the most aerodynamic sedan of the world, with 0.30 cd.

Lots of room, seat four in luxury and five comfortably.

For a full size car with only a three speed automatic transmission and a small turbo engine, the Audi delivers surprisingly good acceleration and economy.

Quattro (Full time 4WD) version is an even better handling car, great traction on any surfaces.

Later model Audis are almost rust proof, having 100% galvanized body panels.

If maintained properly, the car will give good services.

Frequent oil change, 3000 miles or less, is a must.

There are two oil filters, one for the engine, another for the Turbocharger. Unless you asked, most service places will replace the engine filter only.

Getting hard to find a good example now, repair cost sometime exceeds the worth of the car. So the owners just neglected them, a real shame.
