Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Avoid the Tdi's!! They just don't have the power. Suspensions are a tad on the soft & bouncy side unless its a sport model. Like all audi's the steering feels detatched. Although, some people seem to love the ultra lightness of it. Cruising or racing, its a big heavy b*****d that feels like a lightweight.
What's it like to park?
All models come with a parking brake so they dont roll away. Most innovative!!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Double wishbone front suspension arms tend to wear, but there very cheep & easy to replace. LED in the dashbourd also tend to fail, they only cost penn's but will take almost a day to fix. & the central locking has been known to pack up in the winter. Chills out afterwards though. I've own'd several mk1 A4's & never had anything majer go wrong. Reliability has to be 10/10
What's most practical about your car?
The turbocharger.
