1999 Audi A6 Quattro review from North America
"Amazing performance, great style, lacks reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
2 Window tracks broke at 82 000 Km.
2 door sensors broke at 82 000 km.
Windshield washer fluid tank cracked open at 88 000 km.
Starter motor makes weird noises at 90 000 km.
Engine blew at 11 000 km due to the previous owner putting non-synthetic oil in. (I don't blame audi for that one) new engine installed was $10 000.
General comments?
This car is an amazing performing car that turns many heads. It is quick and has every feature you will ever need. Audi could have improved its acceleration, as it sort of hesitates when you gun it, once you get going it is very responsible.
