the original audi quattro coupe is a classic and imo my most desirable car (sport quattro yum), lovely engines.
the newer one is more goodness,
scirocco, cool mk1 gold coupeness, high insurance for what it is, but i like em
Audi Coupe, either the original or 80 shaped one?
Scirroco?
Were they any good?
That's about it for the minute.
No, but the bloke who runs the Bangernomics Website has one, the later model, and really rates them as a cheap to buy, cheap to run prestige car.
Based on the MkI/MkII Golf. Good to drive, if you can find a nice one - not many around now, though.
If you can find a decent sciroccon tyhen they are an excellent car.
The original 20v turbo audi quattro is a dream car for me.
awesome.
The Sirroco is worth a punt if you can find a good one, my stepmother had one until recently. It's only snags were heavy steering and it wasn't an automatic (she needs an auto these days because of a back injury).
Since I had my Audi, the road I live in has become very Audiesque
My next door neighbout just bought a mint cond, black 2.0 Audi Coupé which is very nice, and my other neighbours both have Audi A4 Conv.
The old Audi Coupé's are one of my fav cars, and is what inspired me to get my recent Audis, the spoiler on the coupé is amazing, and the back light clusters with the big fat brake lights are great too :)
Top cars :)

That's crap that is. A mate of mine's been through about 3 in the past year or so. Nothing major went wrong with any of them, he just kept on getting bored. They were all in very good nick, not perfect, but definitely very good. He paid £600 for a really clean GT2, about £300 for a slightly older
1.6GT (D reg), and £500 for an E reg one, with pretty much as close to immaculate paintwork as you can get. When it came to selling them on, he had trouble getting more than £200-300 for any of them (and they all had a fairly long ticket). One of them needed the idling sorting out - the waxstat (something in the carb), which is a common problem, but other than that they're excellent, with real bulletproof engines. Get an injection one if you can, but they still can fetch quite good money.Peter

Original. Bit lumpy and slow IMO, didn't like it. Quattro models are alright of course.
1.6 Auto and a 1.8 GT-S. The latter was absolutely brilliant, with 175,000 miles on the clock the only problem I had was a common one; the bulkhead has a reinforcing ring around the aperture for the clutch cable and it ripped, allowing the clutch cable to tear the bulkhead when applied. Check carrefully. They'll all Mk 1 Golf based, and frankly a well sorted one will be a very rapid car.They do rust. Sills, windscreen surround are your main worry areas.
Generally, I'd take the Scirocco over the Audi coupe in nearly every case. They even made a 16v Scirocco, but for the German market, not RHD. Shame as it did 0-60 in 7.1 seconds.

agreed
No, they're utterly pants.
Sciroccos are great. Proper VW running gear in a less practical shape with higher insurance. Everyone who's ever owned one seems to want another though, so that's got to be good.
the LHD model drives better too, GTX is 16v one i think

Christ. Scirrocos are joke prices. I thought they'd be 500 quidders by now.
Hey you get what you pay for, notice how none of them mention any welding or rot etc. :-P
You go buy an Escort or Astra on a D plate and see what metal you get for the money? ;-)
Mine's the cheapest car I've owned out of 10 other VW's and it's been the most reliable and cheapest to run.
