Audi s2

[markmanning]

hello there i have been looking at getting a new car and have always quite liked the audi coupe, i am interested in the audi s2 but i am just wondering what they are like to own, reliability wise, general problems and things to look out for when buying one?

Don't do it and LEAVE this forum immediately...you have been warned !!

If you buy one, you will discover that you have bought what is basically a bullet proof engine strapped to an awesome 4wd system (no problems so far I can hear you saying).

Then some clever sod at Audi strapped a turbo to it and filled the interior with the best goodies of the day - air con, heated seats etc. Other than the occasional air leak in the intercooler system or the odd sensor malfunction, you still have a bullet proof supercar (with full sleeper capabilities), so why my opening advise?........

Because once you have bought it, you will see what we have all done to ours and you will want, no NEED, to do the same thing. You will therefore want Porsche brakes, RS2 goodies (intercooler, seats, EM, injectors, turbo, FARB), uprated suspension etc, then you will want it chipping and finally you will find that you now have nigh on 380 BHP

The problem with that is your wife will KILL YOU

Si - you crack me up - LOL

Can't argue with anything posted above... Only thing I'd add is the frustration one gets when life's other little responsibilities like work, wives & wee-uns prevents you from getting enough time to play with the S2.

You will become addicted. So make sure you can fund the whole experience.

IMO you need to budget £1000 - £2000 a year to run it, minimum.

They are fantastic, but then we are a little biased!

Good luck!
