Audi 80 Cab - mrmender
afternoon all
My friend has just bought one a 2.6 auto on a N plate a car i always admired and was on my short list as a hobby/play car. After a shot in his, yesterday i came away dissapointed.
Obviously very well screwed together and well finished but not a, drivers car i did not think it that quick (mrsMM's 19 Y/O Scirocco is much more nippy) the auto box seemed to blunt performance a bit, steering a bit vauge too. I also now understand what scuttle shake is all about!
so more of a boulivard cruser than perfomance car.
Still a good looking car though.......... May still be tempted by a manual

It's a 90 base, not an 80, as it happens. Try the equiv. Coupe in S2 guise and then let us know.

I was recently dissappointed when test driving an Audi A4 Cabrio (3.2 litre).

Beautiful to look at and very well made but extremely uninvolving.

To be fair through, I'd only ever had the Audi Convertible down as a cruiser. Surely the quick 80 Avant (RS2??) is the one for performance...
