Well equipped and still holding its value 2 years down the road.

50mpg, 22,000 between services and very few incidental costs. Oil is a bit expensive though.

On the road
Driving
Does exactly what I ask of it, with a feeling of security and robustness.
Performance
Brilliant. Loads of torque means it is very forgiving in any gear. Probably the most flexible car I have ever owned in this regard.

Living with it
Reliability
Generally excellent, but a few irritating problems with the radio which the dealer has not been able to fix in two years.
Image
Brilliant and still puts a smile on my face.
Comfort
Seats are a bit firm, but otherwise ok. Ride improved over previous A4 and miles better than my friend's C-Class.

Service
Could do more to sort out the two recurring problems.

Problems and Ownership

Engine
Other
Radio fault still present after two years. Wipers screetch when the car is driven at more than 60mph - something about too much downforce, I think.
