1992 Audi 80 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Audi 80 2.0l 16v Sport Avant Probably got too much of a soft spot for thsi car as i was in the family got 10 years before I got it. Borrowed it some time before it finally came to me and loved it. A good jump from my Golf. From 213,000 - 240,000 miles in my hands, and a trip to the Nurburgring a few months before the end. Performance - When it was new, even new to the family, it was fast. Given some 10 years and 150,000 miles it was starting to drop off. Still fast and handled really well for an estate. Build Quality - 2 spot of rust bubbles no bigger than 2p piece in 15 years. Generally well build and solid car. Eventually Heater matrix was its downfall, engine still in a garage after it was scrapped. Apperance - Never dated in my opinion, always looked good on the road and still makes me smile to see a 2l 16v on the road. Cost of Ownership - Not cheap, but far from expensive. Probably expensive for my means at the time, Heater Matrix fitting cost too much hence it was scrapped for parts, consumables (discs/pads/tyree) were quite cheap, major parts a bit more expensive. 30-35 mpg on average. Fun Factor - Great fun, on track it handled better than msot estate cars and at the Nurburgring survived a spin in the wet although it lacked power up hill. 'Ring notes - fastest lap 11:13.6, spin at Kallenhard with poor rear tyres on 1st lap. Pointed out that "if it'll survive this, it'll survive forever" while on track. Reccomended as a cheap, well built load carrier. If it hadnt been the 3x the cost of the part to fix the heat matrix (£300 labour) i'd still be driving it.Sep 30, 2008

performance is what you would expect from a 2.8 Litre engine awsome Build is great full galvanized streel body so no rust at all after 15 years you might expect a few dents and rips but no immaculate inside and out £500 but worth £1500 Petrol though ouch grips the road like its life depends on it so at high speeds you can take a corner without the worry of you hitting the ditchJul 24, 2008
