Ingo ![]() | Umm, the Audi 80 IS a smaller car. Either compared with modern cars and also other cars from its area. Especially inside - @Gamer, I don't know, how tall you are, but if you are >1,80 m, there are more comfortable cars than an Audi 80. One point is much better at the B3 than at it predecessors: the trunk. It's worse than at the same-sized Passat 32B and 35i, but you can open and lay down the backrests, which was not possible before at Audis, not even at the Audi 100 C1 and Typ43. |

Baube ![]() | i'd still take a Seat... otherwise the ride might be quite uncomfortable... ![]() as for size.. i guess you adapt quickly to any size, my 1st car was a 1990 Tempo, one of my friends learned to drive on a 1992 Taurus Gamer, don't worry about not having your driver licence yet, there is no specific age to start ( ok, there is still the required minimum .. ) i was 24 ( well, nearly 25 in fact ) when i got mine -- Last edit: 2022-01-17 03:23:58 |

chicomarx ![]() | Seat is out of the question for me. Agreeing with Animatronixx. | 2022-01-17 00:37 | ||
Sandie ![]() | Yeah, I was about to say that a Leon was hardly something you don't really see on the roads any more. I can't remember the last time I saw a Toledo I. On the subject of the Toledo, I stumbled down a bit of a rabbit hole a few weeks ago, a car I never heard of, the Toledo BRM180, a UK only model offered to homologate the engine used in the BTCC version: Link to "www.seatfansclub.com" https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/R9gAAOSwN9BdejX0/s-l1600.jpg https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/lE0AAOSwd~xdejX5/s-l1600.jpg |

Gamer ![]() | No no no no, nothing from the Pietschenrieder era. I'm really aiming for the days when Seat was all "VW's dull, slightly cheap and expressionless budget brand" and not "la emócion del automovil de España". -- Last edit: 2022-01-16 21:31:57 |

dsl ![]() | If you're heading into Seat territory, I used to get first gen Leons fairly often as hire cars, and they were seriously good - solid, comfortable and easy to drive, although the rear styling always used to make me think of a sad shunter from Thomas the Tank Engine. | 2022-01-16 21:07 | ||
AnimatronixX ![]() | B3 is too old, get a smaller car instead?! ![]() OK whatever, Ingo mentioned the insurance rates and walter explained the current Audi B3-situation regarding spare parts and repair costs earlier. From the POV of someone who currently uses the "other" B3 of that era as daily driver, I have nothing to add: Different car, same story. The spare parts situation for a generation I Toledo isn't known to mankind because no-one ever asked that question, but I guess finding a right front fender and a left rear door should be a challenge already - and these are just used parts! The situation for new parts mainly depends on interchangeability with other cars. For a start, a solid indicator for the possible availability of spare parts is the overall availability of more or less complete cars: SEAT vs. Audi. I think we have a winner! Honestly, 18-year-old me had the same vision as you, bought Opel Rekords and Senators despite all the nay-sayers - and would do it all over again. Just go for it! ![]() |

Gamer ![]() | You all are overtaking me (pun not intended) shlc has his license, Mystery Man has his license...and I'm almost 23 and still punt around getting a license.My father said that perhaps I shouldn't start with a B3 as it's an oldtimer and therefore rather expensive. As an alternative, he suggested I started with a compact. So I wanted something that you didn't see on the roads anymore, but at the same time wasn't too much of a beater...and landed on a Seat Toledo I. |

chicomarx ![]() | Get a B3 with power steering though, I don't believe it was standard equipment. | 2022-01-16 01:48 | ||
Ingo ![]() | Mmhh, generally agreed, but the jump between automatic and manual is not the only point, which may cause stressy problems for an unexperienced driver. It's tricky when you go from a small, simple or weak car to a much larger, better equipped oder powerfuller - and same in other direction! My father was really relaxed with his slightly shabby 32B-Passat, he owned, when I was a driver-newbie on 1988. Just a few days after I had my license, he let me drive at iced rain. And my first ride alone for a longer distance was in the DDR - in early 1989, so still with the extreme controls at the border -45 min minimum-, when the Stasi-officers checked the whole car and luggage to the last space. But without success - they didn't find the totally illegal political magazines, I smuggled into the Zone. I packed them into black plastic-bags and stored them behind the glovebox in the dashboard and over the left back wheel arch behind the back door ![]() P.S. fast vergessen: Alles Gute zum Führerschein! -- Last edit: 2022-01-16 00:19:57 |

mystery man ![]() | I'm probably the users that got the driving license most recently. My experience is that once you can handle a car, the size doesn't matter any longer. My main driving school car was a Golf VII hatchback, but I also drove a T-Roc and an X1. Since the week of getting the license, I'm using my dad's GLB; and almost a month after, I got my Golf VII Variant (that btw came from Gamer-town). Both are nearly as large as a 100 C4. And with both I drive quite fast on the highway. Assistance systems are quite nice, but especially Auto Hold is my best helper. Since April 2021, most driving schools in Germany offer just a combined driving training where you do most lessons and the driving test on a car with automatic transmission and just a couple of lessons on a manual. So the biggest problem to me was to drive my manual Golf then... @Gamer Falls du einen detallierten Erfahrensbericht möchtest, melde dich einfach. |

walter ![]() | Old age and (relatively) big dimensions would not make a problem to a learner if you ask me. The B3 is everything but an uneasy car to drive and to live with, even if compared to younger stuff. And of course, I also think that starting with a not too small vehicle rather than a citycar would be better in order to learn more quickly about dimensions. If you're not worried too much about scratches, of course, so it would be better not to get a too clean one. | 2022-01-15 15:11 | ||
johnfromstaffs ![]() | My experience of Audis, concerning six years ownership of a 2006 A4 Estate, from new, is that they seem no better built than any other vehicle, (I have had 2 new Mercédès C Class since, and 2 new Golf Estates 1996 and 2000 before the Audi) and that their garages are no cheaper either. I still think it would be better to learn to drive on a relatively modern car, and then go for a classic when you understand how things work. Finally, no automatic transmissions until you are confident on a manual gearbox. If you doubt my experience, I passed my driving test in 1965, and have covered about 900,000 miles since. -- Last edit: 2022-01-15 09:45:23 |

Ingo ![]() | The Audi 80[B3] is one of the best quality cars ever made, solid and reliable - and cheaper than a MINI at the running costs. With a MINI you have to pay for the BMW-origin, at BMW garages. Plus the fact, that in Germany the insurance rates for "grandpa-cars" are lower than for cars with a sportive or trendy image, which are often driven by license newbies. Mid-size Sedans as Audi 80, Opel Vectra and such are the cheapest choices. |

Ingo ![]() | The CF was -at least in the brochures- labeled as Opel, also the very very few TK, which were sold here. This guy thinks, that his Opel Bedford Blitz towing truck is the one and only survivor: https://www.oldieschrauber.eu/projekt-blitz-abschleppwagen/ It's so rare, that even at Opel noone knows, that it was really built. |

dsl ![]() | @Gamer - If you're looking for comments on starting to drive - look at something cheap and cheerful which is easy to drive. So power steering, easy manual gearbox, probably diesel (the torque means greater flexibility and easier to match gears without stalling or bogging down), and something easy to manoeuvre (so small-ish with light controls - which is why hatches are popular for newbies; if your heart's set on a B3, it's fairly big for a starter car, and a C4 would be huge). It'll probably take you at least a year or two to get enough experience to go very fast safely, so don't go sporty to start with - a plain economy version will probably be as much as you can get to grips with early on - and will probably be a lot more affordable for insurance. Unexciting is OK to start with - you'll get enjoyment as you gain confidence and experience. I had some false starts when first learning - the breakthrough came with a good instructor and his trusty 205 diesel - it suddenly started making sense in a responsive and easy car. |

johnfromstaffs ![]() | 35 years of chances to rust? To avoid disappointing yourself it might be better to obtain your licence using a 3 or 4 year old 3 door Mini. Once you have the qualification and a bit of experience then you can safely go looking for a classic car of some sort. How is your skill with the diagnosis and repair of old cars’ faults? | 2022-01-13 22:51 | ||
walter ![]() | I'd confirm it's a solid, reliable car if well maintained, easy to drive even for a learner despite its age with a good overall driver's view too. Do not expect any sporty machine or thrilling driving emotions anyway: the 80 B3 is a smooth car. Repairing costs would be not so expensive too. There is an average number of them still around in Germany, so you shouldn't be in trouble finding spare parts at all. Also, the exciting engine sound of your video would be possible with a unoriginal exhaust only. I think you'll get the most common 1.6 or 1.8 options but if you're lucky to find a rare 2.3 version (which was easier to find in the higher 90 B3) you can enjoy the unmistakable and satisfying 5 cylinder sound. |

AnimatronixX ![]() | Certainly worth the hassle! While the B3 never did it for me, the C4 is still somewhere on my list, being the latest Audi I liked. Both excellent cars! Also the 1991 Golf II, that spit me out completely unharmed after an unintentional somersault a few days after I got my license in 1994. I think there is no "too much big" for a first car. The earlier you get used to dimensions the better! My (sort of) first car was 6 cm longer than the C4 - no regrets whatsoever. |
2022-01-13 21:48 | ||
Gamer ![]() | One of these is enough to make me consider going through the hassle of getting a driver's license Earlier I had considered a 100 C4 and a Golf II, but the C4 is just too much big for me (especially as a first car) and the Golf II is pretty, but not very safe in an accident. The B3 is also fantastically conserved, just like the Golf, and will never let you down.And that sound... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsDnC9K_wUQ |
