1997 Audi A4 review from North America
"I fell in love, and she cheated on me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gaskets of all kinds, and axles.
So I'm guessing the guy before me treated the car like crap.
Ever since then I have had starting problems, and a catalytic converter went out.
General comments?
I'm crying on the inside, but I still love my car through and through.
