found easy to get parts,easy to work on, and reliable,car is only as reliable as how good it is maintained,comfortable reliable should have married the car !!!!
I've had my Audi 100CD 2.2 Auto for 7 years and it has proved to be the most relibale car I have ever owned. Parts can be a bit of a problem on earlier models, my distributor failed last year and the part was discontinued. There were six different distributors fitted to my model so finding a used one was impossible. In the end I had to biuld one myself from the original and two other "almost the same" used ones.
I've had my Audi for three years now (Audi 100 2.3E) Never had such a pleasant car to drive before. And so spacious! Never let me down, always starts, cruises at 80 (sorry , meant to say 70!) with ease, and, if you need to , has got some super ooomph beneath the bonnet . Kids (now grown up) love the space in the back) Excellent Motor all round.
I have a 1989 100 avant quattro it the 4th 100 I've owned, great reliability lots of extras would out a lot of other makes of cars to shame, good road holding tows well plenty of space i.e. 5 people 2 dogs lots of luggage on the roof bars and tows a 18" caravan 17200 miles and still going strong.
The car has just been taken off the road for repairs, Its done 250,000 miles so far. I bought it for a grand with 127K on the clock and its been heavily used since. Most of the problems aren't unreliability, just the bits not made by Audi themselves wearing out and dropping off. As its galvanised, the only rusty ones you'll see are ones that are crunched and badly repaired with substandard bits The car isn't sporty but is designed to cruise and thisis what it does very well. Fuel consumption on a fast run is about 35 to the gallon, but this drops considerably around town with stop start motoring (about 18mpg!) Parts are reasonable if you don't source them from a main dealer. Audi only dealers are a pain in the backside, as they consider a car this age beneath them even though its a very good advert for the marque. instead if you need dealer parts go to a combined VW/Audi dealer, they're much better. There are loads of independant suppliers about use them. Would I buy another one, YES, but they are actually quite difficult to get hold of as people tend to hang onto them until they either die of old age (very difficult to do) or they are crashed. The guy I bought mine off was only selling it because his newly licenced wife refused to drive it as she was very small.

My Audi is a 1983 100CD Avante, I bought it 14 years ago when it was 6 years old for £5999. Its had some very heavy use, and is still going strong. Fitted a second hand 2.3 engine e few years ago (£250) and the usaual brake pads and exhaust systems over the years. It just keeps going, so will run it until it falls apart or I win the lottery.
