Hi everyone:<br>Since my aunt just traded-in her ininspiring used Acura Vigor GS for a used Audi 90CS Front Trek yesterday, I finally have a chance to drive an older generation Audi yesterday.<br>The 90CS has dark blue (kinda looks like 96-98 Europa Blue) with grey leather interior. The exterior and interior feels exactly like the car just off the factory. The car sold for $16000 and she got $880 off the original price with very low price for a car made in 1993. When I stepped into the driver's seat. I found the 90 has more legroom than the my A4, the same for the back seat, too. It have nice wood trim and premium stereo and CD-changer. Everything is as luxury as an Audis ever. The handling is really surprise me too. Since I have never driven a FWD Audi before. This is the first time to drive a FWD Audi. Not much torque steer even it doesn't have legendary 4-link front suspensions. The road feel is very good, even the steering wheel response is quicker than my last BMW E36 318 and Saab Classic 900S. As with all 12V A4, the V6 2.8 still feels lack of torque when you launched off the line, but as with any Audi engines, its smooth and refinement are so sweet at any rpms. The only pet peeves from the 90 are the sluggish downshfiting 4-speed automatic and the spring rates are little too little too soft for my taste. Thanks for those guys who helped me with what to expects from older generations of Audis in previous posts on 89 100. We drove the 100 and we felt its sluggish with 2.3 liter engine and too pricey for a 89 car. The 100S is good, but it has an over $8K accident before. The 90 was found in another Audi dealership afterward. They even have some used 96 A4 2.8 12V sold for over $32K. The greatest thing is my aunt no longer believes Acura is the BEST after she has driven my A4 and Jetta IV, that's why the reason I presuade her to get an used Audi. She doesn't want to have a new one because she just works 5 km from home. She feels what we mean by German engineering and handling. <br>Tom<br>97 A4 1.8TQMS<br>99 JETTA IV GLS 2.0 (debadged today)<ul><li><a href="http://vancouver.a4.org">A4 Club Vancouver</a></li></ul>
