2003 Audi A4 1.8T review from South Africa
"A disappointment."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Poor shock absorbers and soft suspension.
General comments?
Bouncy suspension. Very poor ride.
Very sensitive brakes which are hard to control.
Suffers of Turbo-lag and it is rather underpowered for a car which is marketed with a sporting character.
Nice design and otherwise a good car.
