The FWD has great pick up especially if you have the 5spd with the saved weight. It is a little on the roley side, but it is taken care of by easy instal of sway bar in the rear. Super comfy and attention to detail is incredible. It had no problems with it when I got it at 63k and it still doesn't at 80k. Turns heads and I have got more comments on this car then any other even my 300zxtt.

Only Oil and Gas - Great car

This has been a great car. It is fun to drive, it's been VERY reliable (only oil and gas), and it has a great stereo. Definately get the 2.8 quattro. It hugs the road and does well in snow. I was worried about Audi because of the 5000 issues in the '80s. But this car has won me over!

Great ride, poor reliability

I love this car. It drives well, gets decent mileage and still looks great. The AWD is awesome. Interior design is very well laid out. If it had Honda/Toyota reliability, I'd keep it until the wheels fall off. I have replaced the dash (dealer recall), replaced both catalytic converters ($900 each), replaced the left rear wheel bearing twice, replaced the A/C evaporator, replaced the water pump and the radio twice. The local dealer (I bought elsewhere) is poor. They seem to lack knowledge and caring.

Bought the car brand new in 1996 and after having a 1981 Rabbit, I thought that this car was absolutly exceptional! The engine was very good and pretty fast. The interior was very luxerious and the features and amentities were awsome. This car was ahuge leap in history for Audi. (from the old 80 and 90.)And I am glad that I bought it! Isold it in 2000 and bought an S4. The S4 is a rocket ship-I wrote a review for that too.

Bought new May 1996. Had only one problem in all that time; power window control needed to be replaced. Fantastic in the snow with a set of Pirelli snows. Fun to drive and has been very reliable
