Advantages: Sturdy and ABS to bring you to a comfortable stop!

Disadvantages: A bit cramped and not as many eye pleasing extras as would have been expected from a name such as Audi!

I had been looking to get a new car for a little while now, problem being that after a Alfa Romeo I wasn't prepared to get anything that wasn't as fast, smooth, and comfortable as what I was now used to. Then I saw the Audi 80.

The car itself looks strong, with a wide and yet still aerodynamic body, a sturdy look that makes you feel that it is a safe a solid car to drive. However the outside does look a lot better than the interior, the dash is a bit plain, and the car is a little cramped for the driver, as when in your seat you can not use the side door compartments without first dislocating your wrist.

The true pleasure in this car is the drive itself. I have a 2.0E with power steering and ABS, and when you are out and about in it the car sticks to the road and is very responsive. With 119bhp it is not quite as nippy as the Alfa 164 with its thunderous 142bhp, but it still shifts on the motorway. The only downside is that it hasn't got electric windows, so I have to start working those forearm muscles again.

All together the car was a bargain and as most of the spares that are not essential are relatively cheap the car is affordable and does not guzzle petrol if driven sensibly. I can honestly say that the Audi 80 is a car to be admired!
