1992 Audi V8 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I own both a 1990 and 1992 V8. Both have just over 100K. The 92 is much superior for the following reasons: the servomatic steering is easier and smoother, the 4.2 engine shows up how underpowered the 3.6 is for the 1990, and the ride was improved with better springs for a less harsh ride. They are like two different cars.The bad news for both is that they really are gas guzzlers. It seems impossible to get over 20mpg for straight highway driving and around times is scary. Ironically the 92 became a headache after having a routine timing belt service that has resulted in a clattering noise that no one seems able to solve even after redoing the job twice, including the dealership taking a stab at it; all the parts are new. Extremely disappointing because no one seems able to figure it out. The 1990, though less satisfying to drive, hasn't given me a bit of trouble in the six months I've had it. If anyone has insight into the rattling noise, let me know, but it's not the obvious suggestions. Apr 28, 2007
