Audi 200
I have owned my Audi 200 for about 10 years and it's been very dependable. It hasn't broken down once, despite a 150 mile daily commute. Not only has it succeeded in being a great long distance cruiser, but it's also a very practical car. It's great at ferrying around the kids and the large trunk can swallow plenty of luggage. The five speed manual gearbox is great and the clutch and steering are light, which is good in traffic. The 2.2-liter 5 cylinder engine delivers power smoothly and it sounds fantastic. The quattro 4WD system aids traction and gives loads of grips throught the bends. The car looks great and the alloys are very good at grabbing attention. Despite having nearly 400,000 miles on the clock, the car is in perfect condition. The interior is very well put together and has lasted 20 years. The car is very well equipped; it boasts many features which would normally be found in much more modern cars. These include: ABS, CD player, power windows, power mirrors, sunroof, climate control, alloys, power seats, central locking and leather upholstery. All the electronics are still working. The only downside to the Audi 200 is the gas mileage. In town, it only manages about 20 mpg. Past 85 mph in fifth gear, the engine's at almost 5,000 rpm. It would be better at high speeds with a sixth gear, or a taller fifth gear. However, despite the issue with fuel economy, the Audi 200 manages to be a great, reliable family car capable.

A car is as reliable as it's driver!!
This car has the best features out of all the cars in it's time. It was way ahead of everyone in terms of style, value, performance and luxury!! The parts these days are readily available from an abundant aftermarket source and there are plenty of good mechanics who are willing to work on these classics. So anyone out there looking for a great used car that has everything you'd ever want in a car then this is the one. Just like anything else, make sure the owner is reliable, and car will be too. Good luck.
