1996 Audi A4 quattro review from North America
"Comfortable, reliable, and classy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air bag lights come on after starting the car and stay on for about a minute.
Front tie rods needed to be replaced at 134,000 miles.
Drive shaft needed to be replaced also at 134,000 miles.
Front brakes wear quickly.
General comments?
I have only had this car for about 2 months now, but I love it. It was definitely worth the price, but it was an inconvenience having to pay for all of the front end work to be done. Even thought it was expensive to have the repairs done, I would never regret buying this car. It handles great and is very classy looking, inside and out.
