1994 Audi Coupe S2 review from UK and Ireland

Passenger seat latch for tilt has jammed so the seat cannot be pulled forward to allow access to the back. Bit annoying in a 3 door car. Many bulbs have failed in the dashboard - at night I can't see what speed I am doing if I am driving at below 60. General rattles, but the car is about 9 years old - if it wasn't an Audi it would have fallen to bits by now.

I only purchased this S2 as a treat to myself having sold my house and having a bit of spare cash. I never intended to keep it long just to enjoy a real performance coupe for a few months. When I first test drove it I didn't think it was that quick, but I was driving it like my old Audi A4. As I got used to it I found it could be devastatingly quick, especially driven on the over-boost and because of the four wheel drive corners could be dispatched with ease. I only made it twitch a couple of times on a wet day, but in general never came too close to it's real limits. I find the suspension harsh and the seats a bit uncomfortable (heated leather) for my commuting, it is really much more of a track day car / quiet country lane car. Another point to make is the brakes, you really have to stamp on them to stop the car quick and mine pulls a bit under hard braking. Generally the car is very fast, but quite a brute to drive, modern cars feel really light and agile in comparison. A word of warning to potential purchasers - it's a real guzzler. Enjoy yourself and get 20 mpg at best, cruise on the motorway and get 23-25 mpg.
