1983 Audi 5000 S review from North America
"Very, very good car. One of the best I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
White 1983 Audi 5000s 4 door.
I had to put in a new fuel pump and had to use Bosh 4 prong plugs so they wouldn't foul from burning oil, however started every time I needed it to. Slow accleration however. After over 20 years paint still looks new.
Drinks Power Streering Fluid, and smokes a lot.
General comments?
The handling is one of the best cars I've ever driven.
Very expensive to maintain, but you get what you pay for.
Would most definately reccommned an Audi, if not for its reliability, but for it's excellent handling on the road.
