Little Secret
Never knew about these cars. I'm one for "one-of-a-kinds" and this one was just that. I was surprised to never know about. I have the rare 5 speed manual version with the still used 4.2 4OHC 32V V8 engine (276 HP). The car has 227,000 miles and looks, runs, drives, functions like a 30,000 mile car. All wheel drive and 4 doors make this the only car of its kind. (Only 76 imported with the 5 speed). Repairs are not cheap, but they are necessary. Do not ignore regular maintenance!!! Audi is a top quality brand, so its replacement parts will be more expensive. Check the Internet for 30%-50% off what Napa/autozone will charge you. Overall, I love it, and will keep it for a while!
well kept secret
bought car on a whim, parked my 2001 infiniti and forgot all about it, this is a super car!
AudiQuattroV8
Great car! Comfort, luxury & reliability for less than $5,000. We use it in the Rocky mountains. The AWD & ABS make it perfect for winter mountain driving. It's like a luxurious SUV without the high rollover potential!
Bland personality hides an excellent car
You have all the features you would expect from a vehicle of this class - and some features that are still not being used on brand new domestic cars. Under the hood is an energetic V8 3.6L engine with 4OHC, 32 valves. Classy, anonymous exteriour - domestics feel the need to put "V6", "ABS", "24- valves" on their outsides to compesate for a faulty product. Audi does not. Exteriour hides blazing perfomrance. People will still look. You will blow them away too.
Bullet Proof
This is the most reliable car I have ever owned. I love it!
