1990 Audi V8 Quattro review from North America
"A dream come true car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Bose stereo went intermittent.
Often stalls when put into reverse.Have not found out why.
This car has had no breakdowns and still runs like swiss clock at 202,000km.
General comments?
This car is the best handling and most comfortable car I have ever owned!!
On the highway @ 120 km, it still only uses 7.8 liters for 100km!!
Never use a low octane fuel, it performs much better and gets more miles per gallon with high octane gas.
Once you have owned this car, you find yourself comparing all other cars to this one as it has now become the standard.
It corners and handles like a sports car no matter if the road is dry or wet and when I found out that it weighs 4,000 lbs I could not believe it.
