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.

A Sporty Luxury classic

Faults:

Wishbones.

Worn brakes.

General Comments:

I was very surprised by the speed of this car. It accelerates well and has good top speed. I've managed to get 130mph out of it on motorways. my previous BMW 318 was a slow unreliable waste compared to the Audi. I love this car and will keep it for as long as it lives.

1988 Audi 80 S 1.8 petrol

Summary:

One heck of a car!

Faults:

Water pump 133,000 miles.

Battery 99,000.

CV twice.

Plus wear and tear items and that is about it!

General Comments:

This is without doubt the best, cheapest and most reliable car I have ever owned, and I would recommend one to anyone, I have both managed to get 130 mph whilst also getting 660 miles out of a tank on a journey from Devon to Scotland, there are not many petrol engined cars that can do that!

Finally, two days ago, I put it in for its MOT and it failed... on a 99p bulb!

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
