Audi 80 Saloon
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Reasonably priced, medium sized family saloon.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Running costs are low, providing that nothing major goes wrong!

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Enjoyable, relaxed and refined cruiser, but no sports car!

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Weighing nearly two tons, it is not the most agile of cars, although good tyres can make all the difference.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Nearly always starts first time. A very reliable car!

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Styling of this car is timeless. A head-turner even in saloon guise!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Quite comfortable, although very little of the driver environment is adjustable.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Minimal features incorporated as standard, although an immobiliser means the car is very difficult to steal.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Main dealers are extortionately expensive - best use an independent garage.

    New catalytic converter (aftermarket "Bosal" - £300)
