That beind said, reliability is a big concern on this car. They are not very reliable. As it is basically a gussied up VW, you will also have to deal with expensive repairs. This was the first year the 1.8 turbo 4 cylinder was used, and the ignition coils were a big and costly problem to fix. Electrical problems will probably also arise. You may have the 2.8 V6, which has not fared all that much better. Power is either 150hp or 172hp depending on which motor. As this is a solidly built and heavy car, it may feel a little strained when compared to a more modern car. I am also fairly certain you will need premium fuel (no big deal, $3 more at the pump each time)
I would advise staying away, you may get the good one that gives you no problems, or you may get the one that is always at the shop. And parts are hard to come by for 10 year old Audis that are no longer made. Audi's also us special tools and software that most shops will not have.What do you think about the 1996 audi A4?97/98 - Acura CL/TL
