This vehicle was rare to start with and now it's nearly 20 years old. If you're looking for a car with some style and power that's not expensive, this is a pretty good option. This car was made to cruise and it's a smooth ride going down the highway at a good clip. Enough of the sales pitch though, this car is almost two decades old and it's German. I've had this car for about 9 months and it was a great interim car for commutes while I was trying to save some cash. Did I end up saving any cash? Not really. I've spent a bunch of money repairing things on it that weren't right when I got it and things that broke along the way. Things will continue to break, that's just the way things go on a car this old. But right now, it's running well and nothing is outright broken on it. No accidents and clean title. Let's start with physical condition. This is a fair example of a UrS6. The exterior paint condition is poor from neglect, heat and sun. The worst part of it is the hood which has oxidized and discolored from the heat of the engine bay. The rest of body paint is in okay shape. No major chips or peels, but plenty of dents, dings and scratches. The good news is it's a California car and there's no rust. The interior is in similarly okay shape. The driver seat bolster leather has torn but layers of beige duct-tape serve a bandaid pretty well. Similarly with the rear seat on one side. The carpet is in good shape but has some stains. The dash and steering wheel are in good shape. The stereo works well. I added an auxiliary input directly into it by rigging up a switch for the CD audio so you can be modern and hook up your phone to it. Mechanically, it runs pretty strong. Turbo still pulls well. Transmission is in good shape, no grinds or difficulty getting into gear. There is a very short rough idle (about 20-30 seconds) when it's been sitting for more than a few days. There's plenty of meat left on the brake pads. This car is a hoot to drive, which is what attracted me to it despite the high mileage. How high? Presently 276,5xx miles. That's a lot but if these cars are well cared for it's not uncommon to get these well into the 300s. I have a spreadsheet with service history going back over 150,000 miles. The car was previously maintained by 2Bennett Audimotive in Davis, CA. There's tons of receipts from there to go along with the vehicle. I spent a while trying to figure out what was causing noise in the front passenger suspension. After replacing virtually everything, I found out it was 2Bennett's camber plates. So I removed them and put in regular strut tower mounts which stopped the noise. The prior owner added HID headlights, put on 2Bennett lowering springs, the 18" A8 wheels, put on a bunch of 034 silicone hoses and replaced some of the mounts. The engine had a complete head rebuild by the owner before that at 2Bennett at 194k miles. A common part to fail on these are the camshaft position sensors, that was replaced at 235k miles. Timing belt was done at 224k miles. There is nothing that presently needs done to this car based on milage unless you wanted to prematurely replace the clutch which was done around 85k miles ago, but it doesn't slip at all and I've heard stories of these clutches going over 100k miles without incident. Here's the list of work that has been done since I've owned it within the last 7k miles: New Koni Sport adjustable front struts New strut tower mounts New starter New ignition switch New rear trailing arm bushings New front passenger axle shaft New front passenger control arm New front wheel bearings New front strut bump stops New front strut bellows New O2 sensor New Bosch fuel injector (#4) New fuel injector seals and filters New battery 034 Motorsport short shifter 034 Motorsport High-Output coils, harness and wires New spark plugs New heater core New climate control blower fan New fuel pump New trunk struts New windshield washer pump New HID ballasts New valve cover gasket New auxiliary (after-run) water pump Transmission, differential and brake flush All told, it's a couple thousand dollars just in parts. The car has run pretty reliably for the last few thousand miles with the exception of a plastic coolant hose coupler breaking. That was a simple fix but it's an example of how this old car might have its moments. There's also some spare parts that go along with this vehicle. There's rear driver side tail-light that's in great shape to replace the one on it that has a small crack in it. There's a matching leather rear-seat back. The current one is in good shape but the prior owner got it with the thought it could be used to reupholster the torn leather. Anything I have, I'll throw in. |

Genesis G70 vs sport sedan rivals: How it compares on paper
Fri, Sep 15 2017We got our first look at the Genesis G70 sport sedan today. We think it looks good, with enough ties to its fellow Genesises (Geneses?) to further establish the brand and just enough distinction to help it stand out from the crowd. But ah yes, the crowd. Although Genesis didn't release the G70's full spec sheet, it revealed just enough for us to start sizing it up to its future competition. There are certainly others with which to compare (Lexus IS, Cadillac ATS, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Jaguar XE just to name a few), but we decided to take a look at the best sellers and most competitive luxury sport sedans. (And hey, if you like this, we can always do a follow up) So, here we have the Genesis G70 vs BMW 3 Series vs Audi A4 / S4 vs Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs Infiniti Q50. Nothing like a good chart to dig your teeth into on a Friday. Note that we only compared those models that line up with the G70. So, we left out the BMW 320i and Audi A4 Ultra entry level models as well as the Q50 3.0t mid-grade model that's considerably cheaper than the German performance upgrade models we listed. All 0-60 figures are rough estimates based on several sources, models/drivetrains and OEM figures.

VW confirms Audi's emissions test transmission anomalies
Mon, Nov 14 2016Just a week after reports that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) found an emissions cheat in some Audi automatic transmission software programs, parent company Volkswagen has come clean. As reported by Reuters, VW's response to an article by Munich's Sueddeutsche Zeitung stated that the adaptive shift functionality can "lead to incorrect and non-reproducible results." Adaptive shift programs alter the characteristics of a vehicle's transmission to suit different driving styles. Gentle driving will result in earlier shifts and lower engine revs, while hard-charging on the pedals and steering will make the transmission more responsive and hold gears longer. That adaptation can change over time or even on a short-term basis. And it can save fuel. The difference in this case is that is seems that the Audi transmissions were specifically programmed to detect emissions test conditions. As we explained in a previous article, one of those test conditions is keeping the wheel straight. Turning more than 15 degrees shuts the test mode off. According to Reuters, the US government is trying to determine whether this classifies as an emissions cheat device, although VW, Audi, and the EPA have not commented on the record. This latest accusation is separate from the larger VW diesel emissions scandal. Related Video: Image Credit: Getty Editorial Government/Legal Green Audi Volkswagen Emissions vw diesel scandal
2014 Audi S1 Quattro leaks ahead of reveal
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Rumors have been swirling that Audi will unveil the next-generation TT at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but now it seems as if European hot hatch fans will be getting a car of their own from the German automaker. Images of the S1 Sportback Quattro have leaked out today, giving us our first taste of the real thing after seeing the camouflaged version a few months ago.
Audi may be planning to release official details about the S1 and refreshed A1 tomorrow and debut them publicly in Geneva. The S1 is expected to use the Volkswagen 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder with about 230hp, all-wheel drive and a choice of six-speed manual or dual-clutch transmission. It is basically supposed to be Golf GTI in a tiny package with all-wheel drive.
While it is highly unlikely we are getting any version of the A1 on these shores, it's always fun to see the cars lucky European enthusiasts enjoy.
