Audi 80 Competition Quattro - Analogue nostalgia

This 1.8 turbo powered, slightly tuned '94 Audi 80 got us thinking about the whole brand of four intersecting rings. How did their huge involvement in motorsport effect their road going passenger cars? And has their retirement of many major racing series effected the new model range of "olympic-Volkswagens".
While both old and new have their pros and cons, we just had to hoon around the wintery Finnish roads in search of a metaphor...

Epic video and superb quality! The 90s and 80s Quattros are found special part in my heart.

[@FinnishCarGuys]

Vuntsvend thank you!

[@inderoindero]

Old quattro's are what exites my pants, they are somehow far more intresting for me than frances and ricers. So good video and goin to right direction with cars👍😊 Everybody can/try to do vids with new cars, but those old'ish modified "carguy" things are great. I know Finland is full with interesting project cars so hopefully we'll see them more in your videos at the future 👍

[@FinnishCarGuys]

They do have character don't they. We'll try to balance between older and newer stuff. New cars will get most of the views (unfortunately), but what we can promise is that we'll always bring the "car guy perspective" in each and every video!

[@subsilkdj]

Loved this. A car with some flaws has character and makes it far more lovable. Editing spot on again guys. Keep it up, really brilliant video. This channel will go a long way.

[@FinnishCarGuys]

Thank you good sir!

[@CatamaxPor]

Awesome video guys .Based on quality your channel should have at least 100k subs

[@MrSete15]

Just stumbled on this……great video guys had a few audi 80’s over the years my first 84 audi sport then a cple in the early 90’s just getting through my aircooled 911 phase now on the lookout for an early 90’s s2 …. Gotta get over and try that snow great stuff from across the sea in the uk subscribed 👍👍👍👍

[@AutoAgitator]

Good quality video. Old Audi's have a thing to them!

[@FinnishCarGuys]

AutoAgitator thank you! They certainly do! We have quite a special old Audi episode planned for spring/summer so stay tuned 😉

[@jaakko222]

Good stuff dudes.... keep em coming!

[@FinnishCarGuys]

Thank you, we will!

[@JoaoPereira-gz2zc]

Again, keep up with the great work. Content, script and image quality is great! My dream trip is an ice driving course, would love to experience that kind of driving!!

[@FinnishCarGuys]

João Pereira thank you good sir! We’d very much like to bring some ice driving content this winter, but unfortunately the situation with the frozen lakes doesn’t allow us to do so atm. It snowed a lot earlier, which makes the foundation of the ice really soft, and now it raining so it’s waaay too mushy for any car 😔

[@JoaoPereira-gz2zc]

Finnish Car Guys still, it's very, very entertaining to watch!!

[@TheQgamingChannel]

Interesting video and sick shots!

[@FinnishCarGuys]

Thank you! @villepm is to thank for most of those awesome shots, he's awesome behind the camera!

Nice video again guys!

[@FinnishCarGuys]

Thank you!

[@turboenterprise790]

I still got the original 2.0 dohc engine on her, thinking about changing it to 1.8 TURRRBO

[@FinnishCarGuys]

Norman Aqua Haven’t driven one with an N/A engine, I bet it’s nice as well. But there’s a ton of potential in the 1.8T for sure

[@RunnerBalz]

I love this car. I habe a 94 B4 Quattro for myself. But with the 2.0e engine.

[@joaorocha4280]

[@MarisSavich]

Audi 80 Quattro Competiton there was no turbo engine was ONLY 2.0 16V. Only 2,500 pieces were produced .

[@Gurlogg]

And I have one of them 💪🏻

[@Kalateya]

I do not know. I just love the Audi cars from this era, especially the 100 C4 and 80 B4. Even they have some flaw in different angle of perspective, I still in love with them and this Audi 80 Competition is no exception either. I am sure that interior materials of Audi 80 B4 is far better than Audi A4 B5. If it was in cold weather country, there probably no issues. But for tropical weather where I live, the Audi A4 B5 console material starts to something like melt and sticky when the car is more than 10 years old. Anyway, I thank you very much for this review and the model you drive is definitely rare and hard to be found.

[@FinnishCarGuys]

I've been driving a B5 for a couple of weeks now, and everything other than the driving itself is from a different planet compared to a B4. The interior materials are comparable (or even worse) than a ~2005 Renault, and that's saying a lot. Even here in the cold, things are sticky, all the labels of the buttons have wore off, seats look nasty etc. etc. Couple that with the electrical problems and drivetrain issues, and it's pretty clear that VAG had their "W210 moment" in terms of quality...

[@Kalateya]

@@FinnishCarGuys Even in cold weather! This is totally new information to me. For electrical and drivetrain issues, I think I start to realize it when the B5 that I drive occasionally reach its 22 years old. :D

[@FinnishCarGuys]

Kalateya This 14 yo one’s on its second drivetrain with 230k km on the clock, and the gearbox seems to be on its way out again... Makes one respect w124’s and LS400’s even more I guess!

[@valtspv9097]

Välillä saa autojen soundienkin kuulua musiikin välissä enemmänkin... Muuten ei muuta kuin jatkakaa samaan malliin jätkät👍

[@FinnishCarGuys]

Kiitoksia! Tbh äänet eivät olleet tämän auton vahvin puoli, joten jäivät sivurooliin.

You should review a guy who owns a supercharged fiat punto who is finnish, he also has a KZbin channel, his name is JoNIK and has 160db speakers which occupy the whole trunk. You should review it.

[@mefastman77]

No srsly, are you going to review it??

[@heeboheebo9690]

jawohl
