Driving
Very good. A very well balanced car.

Good all-round power, although at normal speeds, although 1.8 should have Turbo fitted as standard, although good pick-up at higher speeds.

Living with it
Reliability
This is the second Audi we have owned and have never had any problems. This 1.8 SE has done well over 145,600 miles and is still going strong.
Image
Excellent. Not as brash as a BMW, but not shy either; it will reward you every time. For me, a pleasure to drive whatever the distance.
Comfort
Long trips on motorways or highways not a problem, plenty of legroom, cool in the summer, amazing climate control system and excellent sound system.

Security and Service
Security
Not sure. Touch wood, never had one broken into, although locking system and alarmed flashing LED have helped there.
Service
Listers Audi in Worcester get my vote every time, cannot fault there service, from cups of coffee, nice layout and helpful staff.
