Buying Guide

Good

• Facelift of the 1978 Audi 80 with many interchangeable parts.
• Ran from July 1984 to December 1986, when it was replaced by the Audi 90 B3
• Front or quattro four wheel drive.
• Engine range ran from 115bhp 2.0-litre to 136bhp 2226cc 'five'.
• Haynes manual available, 1984-1988: www.haynes.co.uk

Bad

• 90 quattros weren't foolproof, and many drivers who expected miracles ran into trouble.
• Feels very old-fashioned to drive in comparision with a modern Audi.

Watch

• Accident damage.
• Rust.
• Howling four wheel drive systems.
• Parts availability for bodywork and interior fixtures and fittings is very poor.
