1993 Audi 80 Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Life's too short!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Didn't have it long enough to find out.
General comments?
I had the misfortune to drive a company '80' along the entire length of the Welsh border a few years ago, and if I hadn't been obligated to return the car, I would have taken the train back.
I found it horrendously uncomfortable, cramped; with a bulletproof, but depressing & dated interior. It was a 2.0sport, but on acceleration the front of the car would rise up like a startled horse (but without any particular urgency), it also cornered like a paving slab.
Unfortunately, being galvanized, they last forever.
After you drive this car, you feel the need to go out & do something life-affirming.
