Currently it has a 1.5 diesel from a dasher, 5 speed trans from a 4000. There is no automobile more important to me. As a mechanic for many import dealers in So. Florida, I have driven them all. The Audi Fox of this year is an overlooked significant achievement. For starters, Fuel injection, 30 mpg, 100 plus top speed and very stable at there.. Name any vehicle that can boast so much in the 1975? With a engine forward so much and equal length driveshafts? No torque steer, even with with hp increases. How about the body? at 120 mph, you can see a gap forming at the top of a VW Rabbit's doors and the fox is just hanging right where they should be.
