1998 Audi A4 Quattro 1.8T review from North America
"Audi of America deserves no respect"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My timing belt blew while driving at 105 kilometers per hour on a busy highway while only 2/3rds of the way to the recommended change mileage. The engine was essentially ruined.
General comments?
Nice looking car, handled well, looked great,... until it almost killed me. Since Audi pays out to Americans due to class-actions lawsuits, but refuses to consider paying to Canadians, i have started a site to help everyone who's life it in danger due to owning an Audi: http://www.AudiDanger.com. It is free, and ready for your reviews.
