All, have found the above, very low mileage, need to sell my beloved TVR as i need 4 seats.

Questions:

What sort of performance and economy can i expect from this car?

Are the rear seats usable for an adult on a very occasional basis?

Are the rear seats suitable to carry my 3 year old son in his carseat on a regular basis?

What should i look for when loking at the car?? Anything aside from the obvious??


All help greatly appreciated, havent had an Audi before.

Very old tech engine now. Thirsty and slow, 60 is a feintly pathetic 10 seconds or so. Mid 20s to the gallon normal.

Only if front seat passengers are under 6'.

You could I suppose, there really isn't very much leg room back there and it might be a bit origami like to get the little fellow in and out.

Eeeeerm, everything at that age! What's the budget?

The old Audi 80 and relatives are generally quite strong but most have now been neglected in terms of wear and tear items so can start to feel very floppy and worn.
