1996 Audi A4 1.6 Base review from UK and Ireland
"Classier alternative to a BMW"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Usual wear & tear items eg.
Brake pads.
Tyres.
Thrust bearing is starting to become noisy.
General comments?
Brilliant car, much better looking than a Golf or 3 series.
Previous owner fitted Quattro alloys which make it look even better.
Doesn't have much grunt, but adequate for a 1.6,and cruises happily at 100mph.
