Before long the quattro rubbed off onto other Audi models and the 4-wheel-drive was in family saloons. Other manufacturers, however, jumped on the bandwagon. Is four-wheel better than front-wheel-drive? Is BMW better than Audi? The best way to find out is to read the expert opinions in this book. Here we have experts from 3 continents comparing Audi's 1980 to 1999 4x4 Quattros against the: BMW 3, 5 & 7 Series, Porsche 911SC, 928 & 944 Turbo, Ford Sierra XR4i, XR4x4 & RS Cosworth, Mercedes 190E, 300TE, 400E & SLK230, Toyota Celica All-Trac Turbo, Cadillac Cimaron & STS, Lancia Delta HF Integrale, Infiniti Q45t, Alfa Romeo 155 Q4, and others. Also includes new model reports, performance data and specifications, plus advice on purchasing a pre-owned Quattro.

The car developed into a formidable rally car. There were snags but Audi ironed these out over the years. Later Audi models using the 4x4 drive train took on the name quattro with a small initial letter. Here the articles cover the introduction, road tests, rally car tests, performance and technical data, comparison tests and buying secondhand. Models covered are: LHD, Series 1, Series 2, Rally Quattro, Treser, 80 Quattro, Treser roadster, Sport Quattro, 20v Quattro, S2.

It finally arrived on the European market for the 1999 model year, with America following a little later. Senior Audi models, the A4, A6, and A8, have their engine and transmission sited longitudinally in the car, but the TT was based on the smaller A3 platform, which meant that the mechanical components were sited transversely. After a slow start, sales picked up and have remained strong ever since. The media loved the Audi TT and continued to write glowing reports about it even though it was six years old in the marketplace, outlasting the Mercedes-Benz SLK, BMW Z3, and Porsche Boxster by quite some time.

Its venerable rear-engine air-cooled Beetle could no longer meet upcoming government regulations and its once phenomenal sales numbers had begun to slide. Something new was needed and the Giugiaro-designed Volkswagen Golf rose above all of the other concepts and designs. The Golf (called the Rabbit in the U.S.) was a modern car so different from the ancient Beetle, and in fact so different from anything else on the market that in Europe it's not called the "compact" class or "hatchback" class; it's called the "GOLF" class. This book covers the fascinating transition from Beetle to Golf and the subsequent development of the car that became Volkswagen's new icon. Included are Volkswagen archival photographs of early development projects and details about the people who built these charismatic cars. The story is more than facts and figures. It is an adventurous tale of a company whose future rested on the fenders of a hatchback economy car - a car that ultimately became a favorite of car enthusiasts around the world.

Find a good example of the MKI with the aid of this guide and you are in clover! The Buyer’s Guide carefully charts all the models that an enthusiast just has to own, from the iconic late model MkI with its pocket rocket 1.8-litre engine and 5-speed box, through to the exclusive, extremely powerful and much sought after limited edition Rallye Golf. With both mileage and particularly condition having a marked affect on potential prices, the authors give sound advice on what is worth restoring and what, however tempting, is likely to cost a new owner an un-recoupable fortune. Weak points, rust traps, and potential mechanical defects are laid out for the reader, with clear Golf-specific guidelines offered on the practicalities of rectifying such problems. The authors also embrace both the customized and mechanically modified examples of the MkI and MkII GTI, with each aspect of Golf ownership meticulously captured on camera.

Where the Golf differed from the crowd was its distinctive body design. for here was the world's first hatchback. When Volkswagen launched the Golf GTI, over thirty years ago, it could hardly have known the impact its compact and sporty model would have on the car-buying public. Through an uncertain birth to its class-topping iconic status of today, rarely does a new model of car make a whole new market segment for itself but the Golf was the original hot hatch, a car that others would copy but seldom equal.

It offered exceptional handling for its time. It was thought expensive and reached a production total of just 97,521. All Corrados were front-wheel drive and featured gasoline engines.

Built by Karmann, the Cabrio model was initially based on the Mk 1 Golf GLI. The story came to an end in 2002 when Volkswagen discontinued the Golf Cabrio, but today the model is highly regarded and cherished by enthusiasts around the world.
