I’ve worked on newer audis, power steering, suspension, stuff like that
all I can say is everything is expensive, and most of the fluids are vw only parts… besides the older (think prior to that one) fuel injection system that was pretty innovative but weird… there’s not much really special in the way of maintenance
you can find and swap audi/vw parts on and off like with most nissans so parts upgrades are fairly commonly available, just hope it doesn’t have electrical gremlins, I see that as the only real deterrant
I expect this car to last 2-3yrs with me as primary driver. It willl be
driven by my sis now and then as she needs a car.
She is a new driver and doesnt know how to drive stick so obviously not
risking her driving something that’s going to be such a money pit. And
she won’t be driving it alone until she’s good enough to drive stick.
I just love the styling and look of this car and the power ain’t half bad.
Too bad for other stuff
cant go wrong with an awd audi as a daily driver. they are known as safe cars, but ive heard stories of older models such as these to have breakdowns, but then what older vehicle doesnt need maintanence.
I think its a good buy. it will last her more than 2-3 years no problem, its a lot better to get one of these than what everyone else these days gets, new POS such as sunbirds, cavaliers, etc.
