Review

Purchased in '06 with 180,000 mi on original clutch and engine. Still running strong, now over 200,000. Replaced leaky water pump and overflow, that's about it. Zippy 5-speed sticks to the road in any condition. Burns tire tread pretty quick, and rubber is expensive on this car. Interior looks like it could be on current model year vehicle; climate control, heated seats, contemporary styling. Sporadic electrical trouble with fog lamps, reverse lights, dash lights. Fun car.

Favorite Features

Fun to drive, road-hugging quattro, great styled interior

Suggested Improvements

That German electrical wiring.

Review

The features on this car are simply amazing even though its dated now. The interior on mine is leather and it is very durable, just take care of it like anything else and it will last. There are some improvements that can be made to this car that can make it even more fun to drive. Such as a bored throttle body which helps low end torque. RS2 ellipsoid headlamps to improve vision at night considerably. Also changing out the suspension is something that I did to improve handling. This car comes in FWD and Quattro but I had to get the Quattro. It rides quiet and I am very happy with mine.

Favorite Features

Quattro of course!!! heated seats, easy to reach controls, minimal road noise. great overall appearance and craftsmanship.

Suggested Improvements

well its to late, they have already improved, but I would have only said that the 12v is a great motor just needs more power. faster is funner!

Review

This car has been nothing but a major problem. It was fun to drive for about 1,000 miles after I bought it, then the troubles began. In a span of about 6 weeks, I experienced a blown head gasket, ruptured CV joint, and an oil leak as well as problems with the alternator, fan belt, and coolant leaks. This car is appealing at first glance, but it has a history of these problems. BUYER BEWARE.

Favorite Features

5-speed handles well, V-6 is quiet at high speeds. Sunroof. Room for 5.

Suggested Improvements

Fuel economy is bad for a compact sedan (19-26 mpg). Comparable German cars (BMW 3 Series, Mercedes 190E and C- Class, even VW Jetta) are more reliable.

Review

I purchased my 90cs with about 60,000 miles on it and had problems from the start. Within a couple months, the oxygen sensors and catalytic convertors went and were the first of many problems to come. The list of replaced parts includes: cat. convertors, oxygen sensors, clutch master cylinder, starter(2) , ignition, brake caliper, water pump, thermostat. The mileage now stands at 112,000 and the car is finally on the selling block. Several other problems have developed including the roof fabric sagging, the drivers side interior door handle no longer working, and a constant clicking noise that occurs when accelerating during turning, supposedly from the heat shields.

Favorite Features

Handling, interior feel, automatic climate control

Suggested Improvements

RELIABILITY, car is made to last 60,000 miles, and that is pathetic
