1998 Audi A4 review from North America
"A safe all weather car that's fast and fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wheel bearing at 89,000 miles. door trim on drivers door.
General comments?
I love this car, I've been driving it for all these years and when I drive other newer cars I wonder why few can compair. It does everything I need. In the snow it goes unlike any car I've owned. My BMW was worthless in bad weather, the A4 blows it away in every respect. I changed my timing belt myself, about to do it a second time. The water pump too.
