audi logo

The Audi 80 is a compact executive car produced by the Audi subdivision of the Volkswagen Group across four generations from 1966 to 1996. It shared its platform with the Volkswagen Passat from 1973 to 1986 and was available as a saloon, and station wagon — the latter marketed by Audi as the Avant. The coupé and convertible models were not badged as members of the range, but used a derivative of the same platforms.

In North America and Australia, the 80 was marketed as the Audi Fox for model years 1973–79, as the Audi 4000 for model years 1980–87 in the USA, as Audi 4000 5+5 from 1981 in the USA, and Audi 5+5 in Australia during 1981 through 1983.

The Audi 90 was an upmarket version of the Audi 80, although all North American sedans of the B4 generation were called Audi 90.

Is The Audi 80 A Good car?

The suspension does a commendable job of ironing out road-surface imperfections, and it's fairly quiet in the cabin on the move for an old car. It would still make for a great daily driver and one you'd quite happily clock significant mileage in without a second thought.

Are 90s Audis reliable?

Great all weather traction, ample power with the V6, and excellent reliability. Good value for the money new, and an even better value used. If you can find one of the newer vintage ones (94-95) with short miles, it will treat you right for a long, long time.

Is the Audi 80 2.0 reliable?

All the Audi 80s are generally pretty reliable. Mechanically the 16v is the best option. They have a great engine in them and its only ever things like bushes, struts and suspension that goes. But these can be repaired fairly cheaply.

    You've made an excellent choice with this car! It offers great value for money, with superior build quality compared to other cars in its class. Plus, it comes with a lot of standard equipment. The gearbox is fantastic and it drives like a much larger car. The stereo is also a nice touch.

  2. Coy Gislason 2024-08-05

    I hope you're doing well! I just wanted to share my experience with my Audi 80 4dr. Despite buying it used and the previous owner not taking good care of it, it has been a great car for me. I did have to replace some parts, which was a bit of a challenge finding, but it was definitely worth it because now it's running strong!
