1997 Audi A6 Quattro review from North America
"Luxury car with a non-luxury price tag."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced.
Several interior dash lights are out.
Replaced front drivers side CV joint.
Exhaust pipe was punctured and quickly grew into a big problem. Replaced exhaust system immediately.
General comments?
This vehicle is an extremely quiet ride, and comfort has spared no expense.
No off-the-line power.
Vehicle needs a V8.
All wheel drive works excellent.
Big brakes make for exceptional braking distances.
Uses gasoline a little too liberally.
Over-all great car and an exceptional value for what I paid.
