1995 Audi 90 Trims and Specs

The last year for the Audi 90 saw few changes, besides some trim name adjustments in 1995. The 1995 Audi 90 STD was now the base sedan, but it still came with the 2.8-liter, 172-hp V6 and 5-speed manual or optional 4-speed automatic transmission. ABS and dual front airbags were standard. Though it was a base sedan, it was still and Audi, and as such came fully loaded with a security system, leather trim, cruise control, remote trunk release, heated mirrors, intermittent wipers, and fog lights. Options included a power driver's seat, sunroof, heated leather seats, and a ski bag.

Most 1995 Audi 90 STD owners compliment its precise handling and tight cornering, and its solid and safe performance on the road. It doesn't show much wear and tear over the years, and the interior is lavish and comfortable. Complaints mention expensive repairs and lack of helpful dealers, as well as some minor electrical problems.

Known last year as the CS trim, the 1995 Audi 90 Sport adds a lower sports suspension, but basically remains the same in terms of engine and standard features. Powered by a 2.8-liter, 172-hp V6 and 5-speed manual (4-speed auto tran is still optional), it sits on 15-inch wheels and offers all the amenities you'll find in the base STD sedan. These include a center console, power heated mirrors, security system, leather trim, cruise control, fog lights, and intermittent wipers. As with all the trims, ABS and dual front airbags are standard. Unlike last year with the CS, a sunroof and power driver's seat are now options, along with heated seats and keyless entry.

Most complaints with the 1995 Audi 90 Sport focus on expensive repairs, a common complaint throughout the Audi line. But drivers often feel the extra money you spend is worth the smooth, solid ride, interior features, and comfortable luxury that you get with the Audi 90.

In terms of features and powertrain, the 1995 Audi 90 quattro sedan was a carbon copy of the Sport sedan, except that it offered Audi's superior all-wheel drive technology that turned the 90 into a tank when battling snow or ice. It had the same 2.8-liter, 172-hp V6 and sports-tuned suspension as the Sport, but added a limited slip differential to the package. And because quattros were never paired with an auto tran, the 1995 90 quattro only came with a 5-speed manual.

Standard features were pretty much the same as the other trims, and included cruise control, leather trim, fog lights, rear defrost, center console, and power windows and locks. Heated leather seats, sunroof, power driver's seat, and keyless entry were options, and the quattro also offered a ski bag. Many 1995 90 quattro owners praise the heated seats in terms of comfort, but the highest marks go to the AWD capability and the solid, confident feel behind the wheel. Standard features are great as is overall comfort of the ride. Drawbacks include electrical problems, sluggish acceleration, and not enough low-end torque.
