Faults:

The car was stored for 3 years before I got it, so the brake lines and fuel line were completely changed out, as well as the fuel pump & filter.

It ticked a bit, but it's much smoother now with synthetic oil.

This car was painted 7 years ago, and has a way more solid body than people would expect, and believe me, it turns the heads of enthusiasts.

General Comments:

This is the best driving car I've ever owned. I commute daily in a Chevrolet Cobalt, and when I get home it's 2nd fiddle. The Coupe is the joy toy; this car can handle tight turns quick.

Faults:

The motor mounts were shot when I got the car, so there was a bit of "slop" when shifting gears. It never caused any vibration, and I just got used to driving it this way.

There was a loose electrical connection, that caused intermittent stalling and surging.

Lifters were replaced due to them ticking on cold starts.

A pure joy to drive. Smooth, luxurious and super comfortable. It handled great and was well built. The 5 cylinder engine, while not super powerful, has good low end torque and is butter smooth. The sound of these inline 5's being pushed hard is something to be heard. They sound awesome!

My car had 3 piece BBS rims and new paint. It was quite the looker and I really enjoyed it. It was one of my favorite cars, and I've owned at least 40 cars. It was very trouble free despite having at least 180,000 miles (the odometer was stopped when I got it!). It was a cut above the Volkwagens at the time in quality and reliability, at least in my experience.

Today, these cars are super rare. I see more Porsches and Ferraris than I do Audi Coupes. There is only one that I know of in my town. If you have a nice one, hang onto it and cherish it. This car is probably Audi's best work.

Faults:

Water pump went @ about 88,000 miles; was relatively inexpensive.

Master cylinder went in clutch about the same time, but as long as you don't engage it all the way, it wasn't a problem.

Changing the air filter was honestly the biggest difficulty (haha). The placement is very inconvenient.

General Comments:

Great car, great gas mileage, very fun to drive and unique, however depending on what goes wrong, it is very hard to diagnose without expensive equipment, and with parts being so expensive, it's sometimes not worth it.

All in all, I would love to own another one!

Faults:

My biggest problem with the car is, whenever it rains the floors in the car are wet. I can't locate where the leak is originating from. When it is raining you can see a wet spot along the lower floor area next to the factory speakers on both sides of the floor area. Over time "say 1-2 hours of rain" you can see the build up of water along the rear foot area.

HELP...

Over all, it's been an OK car. (great second car) Wouldn't recommend it as a daily dependable driver.

My biggest peeve about the car... NO cup holders.
