1990 Audi 80 Quattro review from North America
"A classic four wheel drive small luxury sport sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have replaced the master brake cylinder.
The starter has been replaced.
Both radiators have been replaced.
The rear struts and strut mounts have been replaced.
General comments?
While not quick off the line, this car handles beautifully.
The Quattro feature comes in very handy up here in Maine as do the heated seats and ski-sock pass-through.
The styling has held up well over the years. Although now over twelve years old, its looks are not all that dated.
