Considering buying an audi coupe next week, probably a 1994 model, only a 2.0L 16v as thats all I can get insured on. I've read plenty on the
internet about them, but just thought I'd see if anyone had any first hand experience!
Thanks, Alex

other options were a bmw 323 or 325 but gave my insurance company a call and they wont touch me on one because they are rear wheel drive!. I cant
really think of much else for around the same price, dont want a calibra, don't want a cheap alfa, cant get insured on a 200sx. was considering a
mk2 golf but i've already had two and they weren't terribly impressive. I'm stumped!
Alex.
I had a 1995 Honda Prelude, worth a look?
Cheers

I had a 93 on an L a few years ago. The Coupe is a great car comfy, well built, but I would avoid the 16V as the engine is horrible, Its 140bhp but
sounded terrible and didnt like to be rev'd. Id have an 8 valve or go for a 5 cylinder (a bit older).
Watch for leaky fuel lines front to back, there are 3 and they rust, rear brake calipers sease , and front wish bone bushes wear.
Thanks for the advice! hadn't thought of a prelude, I'll see what my insurance people say in the morning!

Id rather get an E30 320 or 318is than the coupe. Had an early one a while back - worst car ive ever owned. 325's are great but as you say maybe a strain on the wallet unless you can get limited mileage owners club policy.
yuk why don't you buy a proper car, like second hand kit car - say a cobra for the summer.
audi's...the cars that style forgot, just big jelly moulds on wheels or exactly what happens when all your interested in is wind tunnel tests,
that's why the japs came along and kicked their a$$.
how many audi drivers did I upset that time??...that many! superb

Audis of this era are fabulous bits of kit.
Mine was the very boring Audi 80 1.9 TDI, but I still mourn its passing at the hands of my niece. She killed a fiesta with it, Audi had a scratched
bonnet. Insurance wrote it off and it was all a done deal before I got to pounce on the salvage.
I would have another in a minute.
