1999 Audi A4 review from North America
"Perfect car, if it would stop breaking down"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All four window regulators have gone out, Destroying the tinting on two of them.
Water pump at 48000.
Mass air flow sensor at 48500.
Oil pump hoses at 51000.
Power steering pump at 54000.
General comments?
This is a hard car to hate. It rides like a dream, its fast, turns sharp, and turns heads while you pass them. It has a lot of room in the interior, it has great trunk space, and overall I really do love this car.
But sometimes love is not enough.
The first month I had it I had two windows go out, the mass airflow sensor, and the water pump. Within three months, every window had gone south and most every pump in the car had shown some signs of going out.
I really really love this car, but in all honestly its just not worth the money. Repairs are expensive for a automobile, and I have lost faith in using this car more than from/to work.
Its about time to sell it and just get a jeep.
