1990 Audi 80 Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Reasonably quick, looks good, but let down by niggly items"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Handbrake caliper - twice.
Water leak in boot.
Radio circuit failed.
Steering pulls to left, cause not found.
Suspension bushes rotted.
Missing bolt in front exhaust section, causing exhaust to fail.
Possible sun roof leak.
Windscreen seal doesn't.
Corroded wheels.
High fuel consumption around town - low 20s but good over long distances - 40ish.
General comments?
A good solid car, reasonably quick once it's rolling, but a bit slow off the mark. Handles very well, especially on minor roads. Wasted on motorways.
Seats could be more supportive and pedals are a bit upright, so can be uncomfortable over long distances.
Insurance is steep.
Looks the part with Speedline wheels.
Makes other cars feel tinny by comparison.
