1990 Audi V8 Quattro review from North America
"Pretty and Overeducated"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Trans went at about 155ooo. Drove to an Audi guru in Shokan New York to grab a replacement for 1500.00. It was cheaper if I got it instead of delivery. Headlights had minds of their own. Moon roof worked when it was in the mood. Engine leaked fluid like an SR-71 Blackbird.
General comments?
Despite almost silly reliability, it has been my favorite car to drive, save for my old Dodge Challenger. If I were a qualified Audi tech. or wealthy I still wouldn't buy another, but there damn fun on the Highway.
