Areas for improvement: Minor electrical problems
Great 5cyl engine sounds on high rpm range.
Has never failed to start or run. Very reliable.
Runs about 1000 km (~620 miles) with full tank. With care and less worn engine even more.
Low oil consumption. No need to level up hydraulic oil (very rare). Gear oil leaks.
Even the FWD version is very good to drive in bad weather conditions at high speeds.
Easy to repair and maintenance. In the same time you change H4-bulbs in a modern Audi you could disassemble and rebuilt the whole front in typ44. Well, almost, but you get my point, right?
Relay modification required to get most of the average headlamps and to prevent electrical problems.
Seats haven't worn out and are still comfortable.
Some minor electric problems.
Some old plastic parts in body and interior have been cracked. Moldings and covers.
Surface rust in wheel arches from last winter. Original paint coat so it's understandable.
Hand brake has failed once. Nothing happened though.

Areas for improvement: Parts are VERY expensive
I must say, this is a mighty fine car. I just love the styling and comfort.
It's okay in stop and go traffic, could use a bit more punch off the line, but I'm not complaining.
It's absolutely excellent on the motorway. Very smooth at 70+mph and seems to have plenty of power at speed; where most cars seem to lack. For the weight of the car, it handles quite well and the suspension, even with 120k+ seems like quite a good mix for both comfort and handling.
The interior is laid out very well and is quite comfortable. Pretty much everything in the interior still looks and functions like new even after 10 years, something I can't say about most old cars I've owned.
The AWD is great! Never even slipped a wheel in deep snow or ice.
Parts are VERY expensive for this car if you buy them from a dealership or from your mechanic. DO NOT do this. Online parts houses will have parts for a third of what the dealership or a mechanic will charge.
