Audi 80 Saloon
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Less expensive than BMW, and worth every penny for such an old car.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Reasonable fuel consumption on a run. But rarely needs work, so overall is cheap.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Tends to lumber around corners, but tight and firm feel on the open road. Fairly heavy car though, so needs building up to get inertia going

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A bit sluggish around town, but like a spaceship on the motorway: glides along effortlessly.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Excellent. Hasn't let me down in 8 years!

    Image

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Still looking contemporary despite the fact it's 11 years old

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Generally good.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Reasonable, but needs immobiliser and still thieves can break the locks.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I'm a confirmed Audi fan now
