1983 Audi Coupe GT review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Really nothing aside from normal wear and tear. The car has 186,000 miles on it, with the original engine, and I have replaced shocks, clutch, brakes, cv's and wheel bearings - nothing out of the ordinary. Currently replacing muffler, heater core and the ignition module. When I replaced the clutch at 175,000 miles the mechanic stated that he was confident that it was the original clutch. The car has only left me stranded once in 5 years.
General comments?
This car has been an excellent car. With 186,000 miles on it the engine is still extremely strong. The parts tend to be a touch more expensive than the VW that I also own but have found that some VW and Audi parts are interchangeable. I would wholeheartedly recommend Audi and its marvelous GT Coupe.
