1985 Audi Coupe GT review from North America
"I will never let go of this car, it has become part of me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump went out at 150,000 miles.
Electric window motors have both gone out and been replaced.
General comments?
This car is very fun to drive and handles well. I am six foot six and find the interior to be roomy and comfortable. This is probaly the most reliable car I have ever owned as it has never left me stranded and I generally get some warning before mechanical faults occur. About the only thing I do not like is the availability of replacement parts. The local dealer is fairly pricy and slow in obtaining the parts and local salvage yards seem to crush them rather than stock them.
