AUDI 80 4D SEDAN (1988-1992) WELL equipped and built. Comfortable for four. Forward engine location, front- drive make it a touch nose heavy. Four-cylinder 1.9-litre engine thrifty but three- speed automatic and high-geared manual take the edge off performance.

A 1.9-litre, 85kW engine with four- speed auto or five-speed manual. The 16-valve engined Mi-16 provided more performance, better handling and an increase in specification.
