Finally Getting another TQ I Hope

[Fred Munro]

If you are looking at Type 44 q's, my personal experience is that the '89-91
is more reliable than the '86-'88: Audi fixed a lot of the nagging problems
on the later cars (door handles, racks, hydraulic pump leaks, etc.). I do
find the earlier cars more enjoyable to drive. The later cars have a
"softer" feel - less steering effort required, softer brake pedal.
I heartily recommend a UrS4/S6 - now there's a great car! My somewhat biased
opinion, of course :o)
