1988 Audi 80 S review from UK and Ireland
"Fast and tasteful Classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel gauge stopped working for about a week. No further problems!
General comments?
This is the best car I ever owned. its 1.8 petrol engine is powerful with plenty of torque.
The interior is very comfortable and elegant.
Very few people know just how fast this car is, but its good to see the shocked look on the faces of the BMW driver as the 80 sport speeds by at up to 132mph.
The car looks amazing for nearly 18 years old.
The 80 sport also comes with a fuel pressure distributor which gives it an extra boost to take on the larger competition. This acts quite like a turbo, but results in high fuel consumption.
I sold the car last year for £2000 but it was a massive mistake as my new golf lacks its awe factor.
