Simple, easy A6 question

[Huw Powell]

yeah, heck with door handles... this is one area that Audi has been
hopelessly behind on.  I can accept a transitional luxury car from
1980-83 or so having one "intermitent" setting and having to be patched
to get the variable (I have one of those relays on my coupe) but by 1989
a car with power everything, leather, yada yadda, should have a simple
way to vary the interval - like other makes had for years by then.

whew, rant over
