A dash of sportiness with a grand helping of luxury cooked up in the Audi Ingolstadt labs and BAM! you get the 1991 Audi Coupe, an all-wheel drive hatchback that tends to be more upscale traveler than performance-packed racer.
The quattro coupe abounds with luxury inside the cabin, featuring standard leather seats, power sunroof, automatic climate control, and power everything. Heated seats and memory settings are popular options. The body panels are zinc-coated to prevent rust, and indeed the Coupes have held up well over the years. The exterior styling and hatchback with rear spoiler hint at some inner fastback performance desires, and the 1991 Coupe is fairly peppy once it gets beyond a certain speed thresshold. But the 2.3-liter, 20-valve I5 with 5-speed manual tranny is rated at 164-hp and 157 lb-ft of torque, which means initially unresponsive acceleration in this very heavy car. Though this heaviness means better handling and road grip, with limited body roll, a certain amount of sporty feeling is sacrificed.
Owners like the look of their 1991 Coupe and its easy handling. The interior ergonomics and creature comforts are impressive. One problem with the 1991 Coupe that you see across the Audi brand is reliability and expensive visits to the repair shop.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1991 Audi Coupe are quite positive about their experience. They love the superb build quality, impressive fuel economy, and enjoyable performance, especially highlighting the unique sound of the five-cylinder engine. However, some drivers are not as happy with the car's power, feeling it could use more horsepower, and mention that it can be costly to run. Despite these drawbacks, many recommend it as a fun, reliable car with timeless styling."
Ive owned my audi for 3 months now and what can i say it hasnt missed a beat, many other £750 cars would have fallen to pieces by now but even with over 150k miles on the clock the 2litre 8valve engine just keeps on going with no rattles, leaks or smoke!! the handling is ok but is more set up for comfort rather than banging around a track. and as for fuel economy its about the same as diesiel at 45-50mpg depending on the length of the journey. One of these over jap crap any day!!!
June 14, 2008Aside from the atrocious two-piece bumpers the car is gorgeous. I think the B4 hood update is a good mod, and getting some euro-bumpers REALLY helps this car look new to the point that you'd think it was a 2000+ car. The downside of the car is the underpowered 7A engine. The infamous 5 cylinder engine is capable of a LOT of power, but the 20v N/A engine is pretty weak. It really needs a turbo. Otherwise it's a fantastic car. The AWD is great, the locking rear differential is fun, and the car is a tank. I've run it through 5 rally-x events and gone ice racing several times. I've beat people with twice the horsepower, rally tires, and rally suspension. It's a great car.
February 24, 2010I bought this car with the intention of having a V8 engine installed. In fact, I even went as far as buying the V8 for it, but never got the job done. In the meantime I drove it for many miles and had a great time with it. It was faster than it had any right to be after all the [hard] miles accrued over the years. It still gave respectable fuel mileage too.

April 9, 2010Its smooth very quiet and torquey. Its not fast unless you deck the throttle and does disappoint a little until 3000 rpm. Its non Quattro so gets more power down though! It has Air Con and the rare pre select sunroof.Having both of these is virtually a one off. Shes one of six in the world in Lime Pastel and looks the bizzo after a good old Zymol!
August 28, 2008Performance: Not too fast, much better at higher revs, brakes nice and strong, handles nicley. Build Quality: Good. Audis usually are. Appeanance: Very nice condition. Cost of Ownership: Very good in fuel and cheap to insure Fun Factor: Good fun, nice to drive.
October 12, 2010This audi coupe is great. Superb build quality, good look's and reasonable performance. The 5 cylinder engine sounds great and can be quick. Good fuel economy. Body work is great with no rust issues. Orginial speedline alloy wheels. Impressed so far but we'll see lol
March 10, 2008love the performance, hate the fuel bill
June 20, 2008nice car could do with about another 100bhp and stiffer suspension
January 3, 2008Amzing car to drive espcially for its age, Probaly still one of best cars out there today for its aero dynamics, capable of 160mph as standard. Which for a 4 cylinder 2.0 16v engine is amazing. Can be fairly costly to run, all though i did own it when it was around 13 years old. Now its 1 cheap amazing car, would recommend to any who is after a cheap fast solid car with quality much higher than most brand new cars espceically french and british cars. The audi 80 coupe is a must have at some point in your life. Made to go sideways.. Bothways :-)
