When I got the car, the brake light was on. Brake fluid level was below the minimum. I put more fluid and after 2 weeks it was low again. Later I found out that two rear calipers were leaking. Replaced them and no problems then.
Valve cover gaskets are leaking - not a big deal, will replace soon.
This car handles so good, looks very nice, even though it is 1996. It attracts people, especially girls!
For its price (used), it's one of the best!
If you don't like caring about your car, can't fix it on your own - don't buy this car!!!
Parts are costly. Well, not as high as newer models. Still, i have good discount on parts and work in a garage, so I am fine with repairs.
My suggestion to all future buyers - buy it only from an original owner with all records, and only in a good shape! Otherwise you will spend lots of money on repairs! Buy a Vorolla and sleep well! :)
Somebody was saying, that this car needs winter tires for snow. but in my experience I drove this car in snow about 10-15 inches and never got stuck. i even stopped on purpose in deep snow and got out like I was on dry pavement!and I have all-season goodyear tires eagle rs-a.but they are like new, so I have good tread on them. i tried the same with my front wheel passat-new tires too, even they were a bit wider 195 (vw) vs.205 (audi),and taller 60vw vs 55 audi, passat sucked!so if you don't drive in 2-3 feet snow stick with good all season tires!
