1986 Audi 5000 S from North America - Comments

"Best car I have ever owned!!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

CV axles started to go bad

Door handle went bad

Dash lights didn't work

Power steering leaked...

General comments?

This car was very reliable to me.

I have never had a problem in which the car kept me from driving it!

It ran good, decent quick, and handled like a dream.

I miss this car so much, like an idiot I traded it for a Plymouth Laser Turbo, stupid!!!

This car had an auto and it shifted so good, like I said I miss it.

1986, NO RUST AT ALL...

I will be purchasing a 1986 5000 Quattro turbo here soon...

For those of you that don't appreciate this car, or don't know about it... There aren't too many cars from 1986 with these options and run quite the way my 5000 did!

This was a nice car, I cannot believe you traded it for a laser??? A LASER??? I love my Quattro, it has the following on it:

2Bennett chip

2Bennett 3" turboback

2Bennet Medium intercooler

Boost controller at 13psi

K04 turbo

Bosch 26lb/hr injectors and Aeromotive Fuel pump

Ran a best time of 13.17@109mph with a 1.9 60ft... Very reliable... I once owned a 1993 Eagle Talon TSI AWD, no comparasion in fun factor or luxury... My car sounds like a lion ready to attack its prey, and my Talon sounded much less... I wouldn't take a billion dollars for my baby, and I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO GET ONE! Good luck with your choice!!!

My Audi 5000s runs great. Not a spot of rust, paid 200 and wouldn't trade it for anything like that... Thoe I wish mine was a quatro, the car is just as good ne where it goes. This car runs much better than my previous Audi 80. Audi lover and allways will be.
