Audi 80 Avant
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Inexpensive to buy. A lot of car for the money.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    The car overall is good but can be thirsty when driven hard.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very solid; holds the road very well indeed; quite comfortable.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    No guts whatsoever, but I didn't buy it for that reason. I wish I"d gone for the 2.6. Very good around town but hopeless on a long motorway journey.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Superb. Faultless.

    Starting to show its age now against new models.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Seats and cabin are OK but very dull.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Standard alarm should be upgraded but at this age most of them probably have.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    I bought the car from an offshoot company of a major London dealership. After closer inspection I realised that the car had not been serviced at all and didn't even have any oil…
