Audi 100 and 100 quattro (1982 - 1991)
Last updated 10 April 2013

Buying Guide
Good
- Big aerodynamic saloons and Avant semi-estate.
- 15' 9" long, 5' 11" wide, but not too heavy at 1,090kg.
- Engines from familiar 90bhp VAG 1781cc OHC four with 5 speed manual or 3-speed auto. 115bhp 1,994cc 'five', 136bhp 2144cc 'five', 138bhp 2226cc 'five' which grew to 2309cc in 1989 but gained a cat so lost power back to 136bhp.
- 100 Turbo had 165bhp 2226cc 'five' and came as front-drive or quattro.
- Also an 87bhp 1998cc five cylinder turbodiesel. Galvanized bodies last well.
- Can still get spares from specialists such as German & Swedish and Euro Car Parts.
Bad
- Five cylinders overhanging the front wheels makes them not very inspiring to drive.
Watch
- Parts like light lenses can be expensive.
- By 2011 some parts had become very hard to get hold of.
