1999 Audi A6 Avant Quattro review from North America
"Comfortable, powerful, luxury car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There was a recall which the dealer fixed right away.
I don't know if this is good or bad, but when we first bought the car one tire went flat. The 4 wheel drive performed so exceptionally well compensating for the flat tire that my wife did not even notice it was flat. She drove for 4 miles before parking it; we had to replace the tire! But felt very good about a blown tire on the highways, if it were to ever happen; the manual states the three tires compensate for a non performing tire.
General comments?
It has been performing exceptionally well, even though with the high mileage and the price I paid for it, I was told I should expect a lot of maintenance expenses. It has been exactly a year, and my wife and I are both very impressed with the comfort, performance and the up keep prices.
I have been changing oil and putting gas in it, the car has been doing the rest! :)
