1987 Audi Coupe GT review from UK and Ireland

On purchase the Oil pressure used to drop, a new pump was bought and cured the problem.

Burning a little Oil so had the Valve Stem Seals done.

The electric mirrors don't work anymore, but you only adjust them once anyway.

Very fuel efficient too with 60 litre fuel tank, I did 550miles with some to spare from a 1987 car, beat that

Over 7 years of ownership the car has been ultra reliable.

No money has been spent on engine, still original engine & gearbox.

Maintenance req'd on the 1.8 is minimal, Oil & Air filters only, can do it yourself, I do it every 5-7000 miles.

Parts are so cheap for the 1.8, but I haven't needed any anyway only an oil pump for 60pounds in 7years.

It is ultra responsive on pick and the gear ratios are excellent and reckon it is faster than any 1.8 car from 1987, it takes some beating for new standard cars even now.

Mine still does 125mph, with speedo going off the clock having done 166,000 miles.

Not the best handling in the corners, but it is a long car and with standard suspension you can't expect too much.

Even at 100mph it has so much torque and won't hestitate to blast to 125mph, power delivery is always there.

Mine still runs so smooth, even my friends 2001 3 series BMW doesn't drive as smooth, his rides is better though, it just doesn't need the revs to drive it, other cars the revs drop too quickly.

Buy a good one thought and it won't dissapoint in performance.
