1999 Audi A8 Quattro review from North America
"The best car I've owned!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front arm rest broken 50.000 miles (can somebody help to find a light grey replacement assembly?).
Timing belt replaced at 90.000 miles (normal).
Heat rest motor does work, but no movement, died at 90.000.
Oil pressure gage leak at 95000 miles,
Front spoiler hooked on curb two times... (and ripped apart...).
Otherwise a superb car. Won't sell, maybe replace with a newer model, maybe not, it's a really fun car, and if you drive it at speed limit (...) 24 to 26 mpg/hwy!
Runs like a Porsche, very comfortable, quiet interior, and if you got the automatic transmission re-programmed to the more sportier set up, nice and quick and fast.

General comments?
This car is seriously the best limousine I ever owned. Have had many cars, but this one is fun, responds well and drives fun. It makes your day!
