Despite all of the cosmetic and minor functionality issues this car runs like silk. Purchased this car 7 years ago for our oldest Son it has been subsequently sold to the other 2 younger Sons. Never in an accident while in the possession of those Sons we originally went through the entire cooling system as it was a NJ car with a lot of rust on the cooling manifold. Went through the entire system and replaced the manifold and all hoses, radiator, and water pump with all new parts right down to the clamps on the hoses. Then we took it to the Audi dedicated independent mechanic and told him to go from front to back to replace anything that needed replacement for functionality.

The we had the car detailed and Teflon-ed on the outside before giving it to the oldest Son who lived and attended college in Colorado Springs- which can have brutal weather at times. Anything it needed for functionality I or my Sons replaced or paid a professional to replace. Recently my youngest Son replaced the subplates that hold the tail light bulbs. Pretty meticulous.

Tires will have to be replaced somewhere between 5000-10000 miles depending on where you live. The car recently went in to the Mechanic to determine whether it needed a new head gasket but was found to have a leaking assembly plate and a slightly worn water pump (which then in my opinion, a water pump that needs replacing) soooo.... a new water pump, belt tensioner, timing belt (best to replace when it is all apart), and new lower hoses. Synthetic oil change has just been performed and a K&N filter has been in the car for a few years. Replaced the rear muffler within the last year.

My second Son bought the rims for the car and had the window tinted. He took my advice and bought 5 rims and tires so the spare matches the others.

Really this car is still striking from a distance though it is showing its age. The paint is still very strong with no rust issues (we deionized the underside of the car when we first received it and occasionally still do now) but the pinstripe needs to be taken off as it is tired and partially off now. A perfect car for a kid living in a place that gets real weather. Has a Bose factory stereo (w/functional cd changer) that needs one speaker fixed (right rear-easy access). AM/FM not sure about but I believe FM works and my boys used a MP3 broadcaster for their Ipods (the cigarette lighter works) We have over the years replaced all of the reservoirs containing fluids, that bugs me when you can't see the condition...

Heated seats, though the leather on the front seats either need to be fixed or at the very least covered as the leather is really torn on the driver's side and the passenger side has a 1 inch tear.

Transmission and engine are unusually silky for ANY car with over 80,000 miles on it. Just runs down the road like silk and I almost can't imagine it better than when it was new, for $38000! Handling in bad weather is surreal for traction and it feels like it runs on rails.

That is the rundown... It's as honest as I can recall and I might just give it away unless someone buys it. Donated the car is worth probably $1000 in net writeoff but worth $2500 and I just put $800+ in to it in the last month and it really should go to someone who was in the situation that I was in when I first bought it. If you have a heat gun and a couple of hours and $200 after you spent the $1000 to $1600 to buy this thing I believe that you will come away with a pretty darn good car...

Nine-time Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen to retire

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Le Mans icon Tom Kristensen is retiring. The Danish driver, who was an integral part of Audi's absolute dominance at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, captured a record-breaking nine wins at the legendary endurance race, along with six overall victories at the 12 Hours of Sebring in a career that spanned 26 years.
"Over the past couple of months, my thoughts of retiring have been stronger, and therefore, it feels right to inform you today that I am retiring from motor racing," Kristensen told Autosport. "I still feel I am in peak physical form and possess the necessary mental toughness both in and outside of the car: it has been important for me to stop while I am still strong and able to deliver top performances at Audi."
While the World Endurance Championship's season-ending race at Interlagos on November 30 will be Kristensen's last as a driver, it won't be the end of his long-running association with Audi. According to Autosport, TK will take on a new role as an ambassador for the German marque and will work with team's drivers in an unspecified role.

Audi gets into tablet market with Android-powered Smart Display

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Relatively small in newsworthiness compared with laser-equipped hybrids and all-new cockpit concepts, Audi has also announced a branded, Android-powered tablet called Smart Display at CES this week.
Audi has partnered with Google for its in-car computing software for years now, so it's hardly surprising to hear that its first foray into the world of tablets runs a Google OS (which one is still unclear), and has Android guts. Sorry, iPad users. The 10.2-inch tablet wears a lovely aluminum chassis that seems right in line with Audi's typical industrial design, and is packed with Nvidia's Tegra T40 processor.
Smart Display is meant to highlight the upcoming cleverness of Audi's newly announced in-car LTE connectivity (by way of continued partnership with AT&T). Users can, in theory, access the Google Play store while on the go, and then download and fiddle with Android-based apps until their very hearts are content. By "users" we mean "passengers" here, and so does Audi, though we're not exactly sure if there are measures in place to keep a driver from tableting while driving.

Audi boss: no to minivan

Fri, Jun 5 2015

Well done to you, Rupert Stadler. We salute you. The Audi exec went on record during an interview with Automotive News and basically shut the door on the idea of a Audi-badged minivan. When asked by AN, Stadler pointed to the high conquest rate enjoyed by crossovers and SUVs compared to minivans. On top of that, Stadler argued against vehicles like the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer by pointing out that customers tend to shy away from minivans because of the image they put forth. "Consumers are more likely to switch to an SUV and are more likely to pay a premium price because SUVs are considered more emotional," Stadler told AN. "We would rather be the emotional choice than the rational choice." It's not all good news, though. Stadler gave a resounding "no" to an A8 wagon, based on the Prologue Avant Concept, as well as a BMW 6 Series rival. Instead, Audi will focus on the upcoming Q8 SUV, which the exec said was "more likely to be a winner than a large coupe." The company is also hard at work on additional Sportback models, although Stadler didn't elaborate on which models could get the five-door treatment. Related Video:
