WAYNE’S TAKE
Audi Coupe/Quattro: Coupes remain quite affordable, though many were treated as daily drivers and can suffer rust issues. The Quattro is one of the finest sports coupes Audi has ever made. Detailed maintenance history
mandatory given sophisticated drivetrain and potential for cars
to be driven aggressively.
ÅServicing needs a specialist’s care; low volume limits parts supply
AWell-maintained examples are reliable
ANXIETY INDEX: MEDIUM
