Audi A4 Saloon 1.8 SE 4d (1995/N) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought at 3 years old as ex-company car with 74,000 miles on the clock for £7999. Great value.
Costs
Audi dealership in Plymouth gave a loyalty discount for continued dealer servicing. It has been cheaper to service than my previous car (Nissan).

On the road
Driving
As with all other reviews, poor at low revs but ample for motorway driving. These cars are built for motorway cruising.
Performance
Never going to be a sportscar, but the power is there for overtaking, if used sensibly.
-
Living with it
Reliability
In 25,000 miles I have changed 2 tyres, a cam belt and most recently the rear shockers outside of regular servicing - not bad for the age of the car.

How can you afford an Audi?? Buy a high mileage example and laugh at others who buy from the dealers at nearly double the cost.
Comfort
More comfortable than the 3-series BMW, so that's got to be a winner.

Security and Service
Security
No problems so far, but a better alarm would enhance the security.
Service
It's a shame that the service from the main dealer in Gloucester is not on par with others. They have been particularly poor on at least three occasions and always insist on blaming someone else.
