pandamonium Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 In particular, Audi Coupe 2.3 Auto. 1991. I'm considering one, its got 10 mths test for £300! Any good or should I run??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 5 cylinder audi's are a bit juicey aren't they? Add an autobox and motoring at £1.10 a litre will soon get depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandamonium Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 really? oh. so 30mpg is an impossibility then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lobster Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'd be very surprised if that would achieve 30mpg. The VW Sharan with a 2.0 Auto use to struggle to crack 20mpg, so if a 2.3 Auto Audi Coupe could better 30 then that would be quite an acheivement!

pandamonium Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 lol, so the school run daily might get a little pricey at 2.5 miles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 The noise they make is wonderful, but a slushmatic one is pretty undesirable. Sounds good for the money though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandamonium Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Woman, 30+ loads of NCB, etc. They'd just laugh at me. She got the same quote for this as she did a Sierra 1.8! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r.welfare Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 If your wife's only doing 5 miles a day, go for it. Any car, regardless of engine size, is diabolically uneconomical until it's warmed up. Plus the Coupe has a certain style, the 5-cyl engine is a beaut, and they are fully galvanised so they just don't rust. My brother had a 2-litre 80 from '91, wonderful car.
