General Comments

I managed to find a 1995 Audi Coupe 2.6E auto sports car with Full leather interior, all 4 electric windows, electric sunroof, fuel computer (These options alone added £7000 to the original purchase price).

IT was and is a good looking car and due to their small numbers it will look good parked next to much much newer more expensive cars.

There's no adjustment to the steering wheel though so either you fit in it or you don't. And it's not worth being uncomfortable.

This car is really a grand tourer and not a sports car as the 2.6 litre V6 only puts out 150Hp and 0-60 is around 9.5 seconds. Once moving it's better and it will get up and boogie from 70-120mph quite quickly but in the real world you will soon realise that you may as well take your time and let others see and admire your car as they pass you!

Fuel economy is around 24mpg which wouldn't be bad if it was a fire breathing monster but it isn't.

    Obviously doesnt appreciate a Quality car. Should have bought a noisy harsh riding traffic light dragster with an italian driving position thats impossible to drive out of town.

    I appreciate a quality car which it is except for the lacklustre performance from this particular engine/gearbox combination which lets the whole package down.

    Hello Chum,

    Just a few points to make about your review. I have a 1995 coupe 2.6e and she returns 32 mpg which is well above your figure. This may be down to the fact that mine is a manual and yours is the auto gearbox. Also I attended the VW Audi show in Ipswich on the weekend of the 7-8th May and ran my car down the quarter mile and my 0-60 mph time was 8.1 seconds and the full quater mile in 16.4 seconds which was showing up VW golf GTI's! Think you may have been a bit harsh on the old girl.

    The auto gearbox makes a big difference to this car, if you want to comfortably cruise from Newcastle to London then this car is fine, don't get me wrong I loved this car. The looks, the originality but I cannot recommend it with the automatic gearbox, chose a manual over this anyday!
