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...

Upcoming Audi Q1 rumored to get high-performance SQ1 variant
Thu, 19 Jun 2014The Audi Q1 isn't due for another two or three years, yet Auto Bild reports already that it will come in RS and SQ1 trims. According to the report, the RS Q1 will be powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder putting out 300 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, putting it about 70 hp and 8 lb-ft beyond the next-most-powerful gasoline engine in the standard range.
Depending on how you like your gumption served, however, the first SQ1 - like its European SQ5 sibling - go the diesel route with a 2.0-liter TDI fitted with twin turbos for 231 hp and 368 pound-feet of torque. That's an improvement of 47 hp and 88 lb-ft over the most powerful diesel engine said to be offered on the regular Q1.
The report goes on to say that there should be g-tron (natural gas) and e-tron versions of the Q1, and buyers will get a deep toy chest of assistance packages to equip it with. Starting price in Europe is expected to be around 25,000 euros, which, if correct, would make it 4,000 euros less dear than the Q3 in Germany.
Audi S1 nearly ready to rocket euros out of your pocket
Wed, 27 Nov 2013Audi was out testing its upcoming S1 on the streets of Germany when our trusty spy photographers snapped the new, all-wheel-drive hot hatch that's set to succeed the limited-edition A1 Quattro.
Unlike the A1 Quattro, the S1 should sport a much less aggressive look overall. As shown in the spy shots, its wheel wells lack the meaty flairs of its predecessor while its rear wing is much more subdued. The wheels are more in line with what we expect from Audi's S models and its higher ride height is more conducive to common things like steep driveways and speed bumps that the 333-unit A1 Quattro might not encounter.
According to our spies, the S1 should hit the European market with anywhere from 220 to 250 horsepower, making it considerably more potent than competitors like the Ford Fiesta ST or Polo GTI from its parent company, Volkswagen (although it'll likely arrive at a considerably higher price than either of those pocket rockets). On the high end, that's roughly equal to the 252 ponies generated by the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four in the A1 Quattro
Electric turbos promise big performance and efficiency gains in the near future
Fri, 08 Aug 2014
An electric turbo system boosts efficiency between 15 and 20 percent, according to Audi.
Turbochargers, like acoustic guitars, use moving air to create magic. And electric turbochargers, like electric guitars, provide the ability to amp up that magic to amazing new levels.
