Some time ago I was the owner of Audi-80 (B3) 1989. V., 1.8. He took it in 2009 because of financial difficulties, and now he gave his son, he to go to study. A new car, for now, it’s a pity to buy a brisk guy, but this one seems to be going normally, not an old trough at all. Looking at my son, I can say that Audi 80 is a wonderful car for novice drivers. Swaying for such a year, you will soon understand which car you need. The equipment in my Audi is pretty modest. Of course, I would like to have air conditioning or climate, since it was too noisy to travel around the city with open windows, but at that time everything suited me. The salon, despite the package, is still comfortable, there are quite a lot of places for passengers, the quality of the finish pleases. Plastic in the car is better than many new.
Immediately after the purchase, I changed the oil, timing belt, the rear left brake cylinder, and the front pads. In general, I must say that the cost of repairs is very small, t. To. All the malfunctions arose gradually, and repaired something himself in the garage, something per hundred. The rates for work in the service are similar as for the VAZ-2110, but there are no similarities besides the rates for the service. Any service is accepted without problems, because the car has a competent combination of mechanics and electronics, and it will not be difficult for any specialist to figure it out. In addition, there are many analog spare parts on the market, “relatives” of German and Chinese.
I was trying to stole once. As a result, they broke the castle, carried away the radio and trifle from the glove compartment. Saved only multiples. I recommend that you take care of the safety of your car, after all, Audi is quite often stolen a car. The handling is excellent, the steering wheel is light and obedient. The suspension, in my opinion, is not adapted for our roads. You can’t call it comfortable – pits, hollows, cracks are felt. It is necessary to reset speed up to 50 km/h, to normally pass irregularities. The brakes are excellent – the slightest press on the pedal – you feel the work of the mechanism. I advise you to carefully choose a car for yourself, since it will be difficult to find unsechered, most of the views I looked at, or after an accident. Good luck when choosing!
