1988 Audi 80 review from North America
"If you want to waste your money, buy an Audi!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Where to start? The fuel injection wires were frayed, had to replace them, ($250) The air intake had a small hole in it, had to have it replaces ($280) Spark plug wires twice ($89.95 x 2) Radiator hose (Audi dealer wanted $100, I made my own for $9) Wheel barrings were replaces twice ($350 x 2) And the grim reaper came and took it finally and took out the trans-axel and the clutch. (est. $2300) The car did not like our cold Minnesota winters, and did not like our hot summers. The car aged very badly.
General comments?
This has been the most expensive and worst car I have ever had. It is slow and does not handle well at all. I will never buy and Audi again.
