New C5 2000 convertible owner
Hello to all. This past July picked up Navy Blue on Light oak Vert. I love it and have detailed it to look like a true showroom car. Its an A4 with the 2.73 gears(quick but needs more bottom end), and has 46000km on the odometer(Canadian). After months of lurking on this site I have come to realize that my C5 has the typical issues as most others such as: Rocking seat under hard acceleration, door lock failures, oil consumption etc....
Anyways, she is a beauty and people are always looking at her....the
C5 is a fantastic looking car in the flesh!!!!!
