1989 Audi 80 S review from Latvia
"Waste of time and money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dampers and brake calipers failed at just 1000km.
Both engine and generator belts failed at 9000km.
Heater failed in cold winter.
General comments?
Cheap as dirt, but not even an average ride.
1.8.i engine has only 100 Hp, which makes highway driving and any maneuver uncomfortable.
3-step automatic transmission is outdated.
Bad handling above 100 km/h, mostly because of light weight.
