1991 Audi 200 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Taking what it learned from race-car technology and putting it into a midsize family sedan seems perfectly natural, especially if you're Audi. The 1991 Audi 200 is a turbocharged monster, quick off the line and delivering the fast and tight action of a sports car, while swathing passengers in luxurious, leather-seated comfort. The quattro AWD trims add all-wheel drive and more stable handling and traction, for extra confidence in tricky conditions.
Take your pick of either a sedan or wagon, in quattro trim they all feature a new 20-valve turbocharged 2.2-liter 5-cylinder engine that provides 217 hp and 228 ft-lbs of torque. The new quattro version was not only quicker in acceleration, it also offered plenty of low-end torque for a more relaxed drive. The non-quattro version (sometimes called the 200 "front track") used the 162-hp/177 ft-lbs of torque 10-valve engine of previous years.
The Audi 200 sedan came in front-wheel drive or quattro all-wheel drive. For 1991 the wagon was quattro only and a very limited production car, with less than 300 imported to the U.S. Inside, the 200 offered plenty of space for five and a large trunk or seating for seven in the wagon. Stylishly lit dash controls and thoughtful features like a power/memory adjustable driver's seat, wood trim, a premier sound system, and leather upholstery carry you off into luxurious comfort.
While its gas mileage is only so-so, what drivers point out is how safe they feel in an Audi 200. Some that have been in accidents report coming out unscathed due to the Audi's solidity and sturdiness. Precise handling and turbo speed are big attractions, as is the long-lasting nature of this popular sedan. High cost for parts and repairs is an Audi trademark, and some owners complain about failures with the electrical and hydraulic systems.

over the past 110,000 miles, this car has given me more joy, more safety, more fun than any other car (and I've had almost 100!). she's saved my life over and over, quattro has performed flawlessly, she sticks to the road like the gum you threw out your window on a hot summer day! had the "porsche" pirelli 6000's when I got her, can't afford to get more in that spec... wow. she needs some body work but looks as beautiful to me now as she did when I got her... still look over my shoulder at her after she's been parked, can't help it. repairs are sometimes a bit difficult but always happen with patience, parts are somewhat expensive but offset by how long they last, sunroof and headliner need work but she's 23 this year, what lady doesn't sag eventually?! does need the euro headlights, will get them when I find a reasonable pair. can't say enough good about her!Feb 17, 2014

I recently purchased this Audi as my daily commuter vehicle. It is clean inside and out. I mean clean. I would have bought it just to part out, but it drives better than my 2007 Lexus. My friend laugh at the outside being dated, but all want to drive it after a ride.Sep 22, 2012

This was my second 1991 Audi 200. My first being an Avant. This one (second
Audi) was equipped with European headlights (worlds better than the standard
units). The interior was in nominal shape. The headliner was completely intact,
leather was worn but beautiful, and the wood was crack-less and brilliant. It was
great to drive casually and a dream to get into boost. The old Quattro power
distribution of 60% front and 40% rear made a driver very confident however
sometimes it left you wanting more (oversteer that is). Apr 08, 2012

Car has a lot of power and torque from the software chip and the turbo. I am currently running 20psi of boost on a stock turbo. On the freeway it pulls for days, although since it is so heavy that takes away from the acceleration. It looks like a family car so nobody ever expects anything from it until you pull on them. The fact that it is a wagon means practically unlimited space with the backseats down for whatever you need it for. I have literally moved in this car, it even has roof racks. The lights on the front will light up anything you need them too. We had to go aftermarket since the stock headlights suck so much. Thanks Antoine! The car has been somewhat expensive to maintain, but all in relevance, it is still an Audi. If i had more time and money I would put in 2bennett Coilovers for the handling, and big brakes as well. The car still handles great without upgraded suspension due to the Quattro drivetrain. The 200 is a beast offroad as well because of this. The car is comfy and fun to drive, and the heated seats is a huge perk. Gas mileage kind of sucks, especially when you floor it, but good thing gas is so cheap right? Apr 08, 2012

An Audi wagon with 20 valve and turbo power, what's not to love? Add 5 speed
and quattro and it was a killer deal back in 1991. I will be driving this car for maybe
a year, then pulling out the engine to rebuild and drop it into my black coupe to
make the coupe the car it was SUPPOSED to be (AKA S2 from Europe).Jun 01, 2010

Excellent daily driver that has been inexpensive to keep on the road. Car is still tight after 170K and the paint is holding up well. Gas mileage is to be expected for this type of car, 15-17 in town and 24-25 hwy. Jul 21, 2009

I was a real Audi fan but after this prick I say "Never again". Good sound but bad performance and the petrol usage was more appropriate for a sheik. What else shall I write more ? Now I drive a BMW which is even two years older and that is itSep 19, 2008

This car was a beast! It had a turbocharged 2.2L inline 5 with 14 pounds of boost pushing out of the turbo. The five speed made it even more fun. This car had 253K miles on it when the odometer stopped working and that was before I bought it. It was beat but I couldn't kill it and I drove it HARD!!!! I even caught air in it!Dec 25, 2007

I've drove my 200quattro for 3years straight without any problems from montreal to P.E.I( prince edward island)19 hours.10 min. rest stops. then to cape-cod 12hours and back into canada- montreal for another 12-15 hours.Not a stop .but, for gas. Even the gas milage was incredible. especially once I'd put the 94. that car started doing what today's car couldn't match. I was comfortable, i was secured. going through the country the winter with all this snow and ice was scary but, that, car behaved like God built it. not man.I still haveit, it's my baby. nothing, no car in this world makes me so confident. I've drove many cars in my life.but, i walk in already missing that, cockpit. the 200quattro 5speed is one of the world greatest cars.I've never had mechanical problems, i've never had electrical problems except for the heated seats. my only problem with this car is the headlights. too dull.I've beaten the supra with this car, mustangs,mercedes,hot rods,I've been able to get it up to 220klm. i was so scared i said never again.this car is 100% underated.for those who don't know. now you know. It's a BEAST. I'm otis. living in montreal canada.presently the car has been repainted in it's pearlwhite. I'll be changing little things,but, nothing to offset it's beauty and history.the bumpers are all in pearl white. with the cheap turbo exhaust from cdn tire. the car sounds like a porsche right now.every one turns their head.This car would always be by my side. AUDI should be proudFeb 24, 2007
