1988 Audi 80 S 1.8
Summary:
Fast and tasteful Classic
Faults:
Fuel gauge stopped working for about a week. No further problems!
General Comments:
This is the best car I ever owned. its 1.8 petrol engine is powerful with plenty of torque.
The interior is very comfortable and elegant.
Very few people know just how fast this car is, but its good to see the shocked look on the faces of the BMW driver as the 80 sport speeds by at up to 132mph.
The car looks amazing for nearly 18 years old.
The 80 sport also comes with a fuel pressure distributor which gives it an extra boost to take on the larger competition. This acts quite like a turbo, but results in high fuel consumption.
I sold the car last year for £2000 but it was a massive mistake as my new golf lacks its awe factor.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I live in Middlesbrough, I have a 1985 Audi 80 1.8 and I love the car.
I too have had 130mph, maybe more, I'm not sure because it only says 120 on the speedo but I've had the needle bouncing off the mile checker at the bottom of the clock. It also uses less petrol than my 1.3 Nissan Sunny used to use.
I will only ever buy Audis from now on.
Cheers,
Very Happy of Middlesbrough
