1999 Audi A6 review from North America
"High performance, but lacking reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission leak at 57,000 miles (cost $300)
Digital display fades at high temperatures.
Oil leak at 60,000 miles (cost $700)
Transmission electrical switch at 65,000 miles (cost $550)
Cruise control module malfunction at 65,000 and 70,000 (cost $200, still not working)
Throttle stuck at 70 mph at 75,000 miles.
General comments?
The car handles very well, fun to drive (when not in shop), and has quality interior.
