1998 Audi A4 2.8 review from South Africa
"Still love this car after many years together"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faulty Concert radio (volume erratic)
General comments?
Had this car for 10 years, proven to be extremely reliable.
Always maintained at an Audi dealer which is not cheap BUT I am sure this has contributed to it aging this well.
Fantastic car to drive, especially long distance.
Plenty power, comfortable and still a great looking car 10 years on.
I have a much newer A4 as well but tend to use the 2.8 mostly.
Don't buy one if you can't properly maintain it.
Otherwise go for it, you won't be disappointed.
