Audi A4 Avant 1.8 T Sport 5d (1997/P) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
It's got all the toys and more style than an equivalent BMW for about the same money. Hasn't lost much in a year, too.
Costs
Audi main dealers may sound expensive, but work out cost effective. I've had no nasty surprises at all!

On the road
Driving
Let her warm up and the engine's a peach. More comfortable on fast roads (M'way / Dual Carriageway) when the torque's useful, more fun on country roads.
Performance
Needs revs for the turbo to cut in. Never put my foot down, braked, turned in and suddenly thought I would be better in something else.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Mechanical problems? Never even thought about it...
Image
I really love it, but people take the mick about the estate bit (they're just jealous!)
Comfort
Excellent sports seats, great suspension set up, poor rear room, particularly behind the tall front seats.

Security
Never knowingly had to test it.
