1987 Audi Coupe GT review from Germany
"A super-reliable super-banger"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch burned out at 107000km, probably due to previous owner's driving habits.
Driver's side seat will no longer flip forward.
General comments?
It's a shame these are as rare as they are, they are great cars. This one is sort of a striped out version, but mechanically, it is easy to repair and nothing to be afraid of.
As far as performance, it does amazing things on a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder engine. It can play on the Autobahn at 180kmph (108 mph) without having to exceed 4000rpm.
Definitely a best buy, excellent economy, I can get about 600km (475mi) out of a tank of regular. Also, GTs laugh at whether; snow, rain, ice, they don't care (and the body seems to be refusing to rust)
