1986 Audi 80 GT review from Latvia
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought AUDI-80 when it was 10 years old (from Germany).
I changed gearbox with another used one (~150 USD) after buying (noisy bearings).
No other problems, except I crashed with it in Dec 1998 (120 km/h on icy road, without any injuries):

General comments?
Very good car with very good passive safety. Quiet engine. My next car now is again AUDI-80 (type89, y. 1988, 1.8S).
