Front struts needed replacement right away.
Sensor bad. Car wouldn't start.
Ignition switch and 2 starters were bad within a week of each other.
Back struts were bad when I sold it.
The car looked and drove great while it was running. No rust for how old it was and the mileage it had.
Didn't expect perfection, but since owning a million Honda's and a Nissan, I thought Germany could make a car that ran well with over 100k.
The car was in the shop 4 times in 4 months. VERY costly to repair!
Well, where should I begin. I guess the important statement to make right away would be that things can and will go wrong with every car out there. Some are lemons and some are not. It's obvious that the initial poster's audi caused many problems for him. I on the other hand, LOVE MY AUDI. I've owned my 1994 Audi 90CS since 2001. I've only had minor issues with it, most notably a bad ignition switch (which was easy to fix on my own) and a bad evaporator. The evaporator only went bad because whomever owned it before me parked under a tree all the time and the leaves from the tree clogged the evaporator and caused it to go bad.
This car has a strong motor and handles well. Something that you can't always say about those Japanese cars out there.
In conclusion, I'll stick with Audi. No thanks to those boring Hondas and Toyotas...
