[s-cars] Non-urS content, but still Audi...

[Lee Levitt]

I bought an '04 allroad in January. It is a solid car, and needed some TLC. I'm mostly done with the repairs and have already started down the slippery slope for upgrades. Full S6 sport interior, alcantara headliner, suspension mods, big brake kit, more...

This is my third C5, and yes, they can be a bit needy. 

So can blondes. :)

If you want a reliable car, buy an Acura.  Snore.

If you want a highly customizable platform, the allroad is about as flexible as they get. Yes, more complicated, a bit more temperamental, but it's a highway runner just like the urS6, it's bigger, it will tie a 5,000 lb trailer (with a hitch designed by a fellow owner) and it will complete the Land Rover test track (only car based crossover to do so!).

Best,

Lee

That being said the biggest problem was the tiptronic, so the 6 speed will be much better from that perspective.  As was stated suspension both air and control arms will fail and are expensive.
