1997 Audi A6 1.8 T Plus review from France

Front disks and Pads at 105,000

Catalytic converter at 106,000

Front drivers door light switch replaced

Cooling flask cracked.

The car eats the miles in superb style and comfort, perhaps some may initially find the seat a bit firm but on long journeys they remain supportive. The electric seat adjusters coupled with the steering wheel adjustment should enable all drivers to find comfort. The Climate control is exceptional and effective for both front and rear passengers. The ICE system is better than some have at home with 8 speakers offering superb and variable sound for all types of music.

Steering is precise and light as is the gear shift. The ABS breaking and accurate steering makes the driver confident in all conditions. Visibility is superb. The 1.8 Turbo engine suffers from slight Turbo lag, but once it kicks in, is extremly effective comfortably capable of cruising all day at 90mph with rapid aceleration to 115mph when called to do so.

The on board computer is accurate and with the fully adjustable red lighting to the dash and other switches including the internal door handles is relaxing yet effective.

The boot is huge and with the collapsible rear seats allow for large loads with ease.

Average MPG is around 32 but can increase to 35 over long distances provided you are light on your right foot. The car is now 8 yeas old and looks new both inside and outside and remains a pleasure to own and drive.
