Audi Coupe 2.6E

I used to own an Audi 80 2.0e and then bought the Audi 80 coupe V6 2.6e and what a nice car it is too!! I have never tried to see what the fuel consumption is but it seems to be good, a bit juicy around town but on a run it is as good as the Audi 80 2.0e and is a lot more powerful. I have 156,000 on the clock and there is plenty of life left in her yet and I would not get rid of her. Lovely piece of German engineering.

Ive owned my audi 2.6e Coupe for 9 years now and it still looks and drives as good as when i got it its only had a clutch and a leaking power sreering pipe in the 94000miles that ive done in it im thinking of upgrading the brakes suspension and exhaust to bring it more up to date and maybe some new wheels

just purchased audi coupe 8v 1995 with 50k miles these were the golden years for car production-quality materials used throughout it feels like a well screwed together panzer, galvanised bodywork ,running gear that feels over engineered.puts a smile on my face every time i drive it. buy low mileage with history now while there cheap cos with those classic lines they can only become more sought after

Audi Coupe 2.6E is very stylish by modern standards good sexy looks. I have owned a series 2 coupe and 3 series 3 coupes the last is a 2.2 quattro 1989 never been any trouble except wear & tear from me.

A potential classic already.

Responds well to bosch fusion spark plugs...11 km/ lt.

Run tyre pressures around 37 psi front and 34 psi rear.

Run oil permanently at midway on dipstick to reduce oil burning by 70 %.

Responds well to Pro-Ma MBL8 mixed into 10w/30 oil.

Can be driven around town in 2nd or 5th. Change at about 20mph. Gives fuel consumption better than 30 mpg. Luxury motoring cheap. Put hard through corners tyres squeal but have yet to achieve any drift.

Available now for £1500 for an exellent FSH example.

Mine has 190000 on the clock and feels like a new Jag of its size... Large.

High torque, good looks, comfort, stability, this car is the best!!

Cheap to maintain, the parts are not so expensive and many parts come from Audi 80 or Audi 80 kabrio. I like this car a lot.

The Audi Coupe 2.6E is very good all my mates think it's fast.

I have owned several Audis to date and have owned several models of the Audi B3-4 Coupe. The V6 version is no flying machine, however, the V6 2.6 is a strong engine giving smooth effortles performance. The car is very heavy meaning that it needs the V6 power plant to make it feel anywhere near the car it was designed to be, any smaller 4 cylinder engined versions should be avoided, including the 16V. The car really comes into its own when cruising, it is quiet and comfortable and does have decent pick-up once in motion. The time to 60 is slow compared to todays offerings but performance 60-100 is very respectable making high speed overtaking a pleasure. If its a true sports car you want then the Audi Coupe should be avoided, however if its a grand tourer that is comfortable, now, cheep to own, and solid build quality you want then this could be the car for you.

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.
