Audi 100 Saloon
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A lot of premium car for a not-so premium price.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Above average servicing and repair costs, but worth every penny. Reasonable fuel consumption.

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Excellent driver's view; infallible ABS; a sheer delight!

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good power but not too much.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Drinks a little oil, but at 104,000 miles (with no major faults) I think that's fine.

    Sadly, very under-rated, probably because most buyers see them as too expensive. Not true!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very nearly the most comfortable car I've driven. Driver's seat could do with a little more lumbar support. Sometimes too comfortable!

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Generally only average. However I have an after-market alarm system and haven't had any attempts made on the car.

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    A little patronising if you drive an Audi but don't wear a SUIT. They appear to prefer the newer cars to the old ones.

    Problems

    Engine

    A little tappet noise from cold.

    Other

    ALWAYS check the wheel bearings. DIY replacement costs £30-£50 per corner; Audi cost £240-£300 per corner…
